Team Collaboration with Experiential Learning Games
Take your learning into the 21st century. Welcome to the world of serious social play.
How We Work
Build the team, connect the players, make the point and drive the learning outcomes with our range of immersive and themed simulations that each explore and test an important skill for organisational life. It might be about collaboration, prioritisation, culture, strategy, ambiguity or diverse and high performing teams. Our multi-screen cloud-hosted games use a slick layer of technology and rich game mechanic to bring the team together as they work to solve or win the day.
Whether a leadership team of six, a department of 60 or a conference room of 600 our games are scalable and flexible in their application to your context. Our facilitators work with you to shape the debrief and use the arresting nature of the gameplay to captivate busy and distracted minds in ways they were not expecting.

wHAT WE DO
Serious Social Play
Game-based learning is an educational approach that uses the principles of game design and mechanics to facilitate learning experiences in the workplace.
Duration
1.5- 2.5 Hours
Delivery Mode
Face to Face, Virtual or Hybrid
At a Conference
Simulations are a potent ingredient in large room events. A powerful way to ignite the room and engage the crowd, forcing them to meet each other, haggle, bargain, argue and agree on how to proceed in the simulated challenge. What happens in the simulation gets talked about at the coffee break, drinks and dinner hours later and sometimes years later.
Inside a longer-form training program
A perfect ingredient in longer form executive education, our suite of simulations have formed the cornerstone of many of our leadership development modules.
At your social event or together as a team
Looking for something in which everyone can participate, requiring no physical prowess, accessible to all, and not reliant on the sunny skies or calm seas of outdoor activities? A simulation might be just the ticket.
At your offsite or team building event
No better way to signal the start of an all-hands, road show or town hall than with a simulation. Prime the audience with the salient themes of your event with an engaging experience from the get-go.
What OUR CLIENTS ARE saying

The name 10,000 hours comes from the work of K. Anders Ericsson. He wrote the academic paper that Malcolm Gladwell later popularised in his book Outliers. Ericsson’s study found those at the top of their game, masters of their craft, have no less than ten thousand hours of deliberate practice. The most important part of the insight is the deliberate practice being done. We use deliberate practice in all our work.

We read widely and prepare cases for peer review modelled on medical practice. We subject ourselves and each other to regular critical review and feedback by peers and external specialists.
