These activities present you with numerous challenging situations that require you to choose from a set of possible actions that offer the best chance for survival. To begin, you embark on the simulated adventure alone, determining your own choices, and then you take the journey as a team member making the decisions by group consensus. Afterward, compare your choices with what the group selects and determine whether the group performs better than any one individual alone.

The Leader’s Guide contains complete instructions for running the simulation and offers suggestions for debriefing discussions that will help participants identify team synergy, consensus, problem solving, and action-planning skills.
