A brilliant game to consolidate the learning of the day. Now I have used it I also think it could be used at any point. Tones and laughter from the group and loads of points to draw out and explore in terms of behaviors, communications etc.
The group didn't quite get the right answer but they did find a spot to meet at, well ish lol. I ran this course for an American sales audience who just loved it. Pronouncing the places was tricky but we got through it. If your going to use this activity multiple times you might want to ask the group not to draw on the maps as they can be pricey to keep purchasing and they are inclined to want to draw out the route. I grabbed a poly pocket for them to draw on with marker which helped and have laminated some sheets to use next time. Having the rooms close to each other is also helpful so you can observe the 2 dynamics at play as it was fascinating to see how the sperate groups took to the task, loads to unpack but you do need to float between them as I had multiple big personalities wanting to drive the outcomes so be at hand when needed. They loved it, and so did I, so much opportunity and learning and finish my day with them on a high with key take aways.

I used this activity to start to bring together key learnings, it was a follow on from Transactional Analysis, it was a really nice link in terms of the 'How i interact' to the 'Impact I have' with our behaviors being the focus. It linked well as the course was for a Sales audience who rely on relationships but often forgot internal relationships as they are client facing. The positioning at the start set this up nicely and I labored a little more on the fact it doesn't need to be a broken relationships, all relationships can be improved which set a different tone for some, a really nice view which went down well. Some great conversations came from it which we explored in the debrief.

I run Jack Fruggle's Treasure quite regularly in our organisation, and it goes down a treat. Colleagues enjoy working together in a different environment to normal and thinking about strategy when managing information overload at the beginning of tasks. Sometimes when it's found to be too tricky we give out hints during the task, and then discuss afterwards. A good task overall

I used this activity with a large group, and it went well. I had lots of varied answers, and it was good to hear why the participants had chosen the answers that they had. There was a realisation that they were jumping to conclusions, and some great discussions were then had with regard to bias and understanding our own biases.
Great activity that doesn't require any additional resources but generates good debate & discussion.

One of my favourite sessions to run, it really is very effective as helping delegates consider how their thinking might impact their decisions and to consider any in-built prejudices they might along with helping them re-think their behaviours and approaches. It's simple to deliver and the delegates remember it.
