How it works
- The day before the event, the organizer receives an email to be forwarded to the participants a few hours before the event, indicating:
The application to download,
The videoconference participation link, - At the time of the event: participants connect via the videoconferencing system,
- The coach briefs the participants, explaining the challenge ahead and some of the technical aspects of using the application,
- The Game Master assigns participants by team to virtual “meeting rooms” via the videoconferencing system.
- Teams go through the stages by consulting each other via zoom. They need to communicate with other team members to solve these challenges. They have between 1:00 and 1:30 to complete the challenge, and have to collect as many points as possible in that time, using strategy.
- During this round-the-world trip, participants will have to make decisions and choices to reach their goal as quickly as possible, having gathered as much information as possible. To do this, they’ll have several routes from town to town at their disposal. Certain paths will be more or less costly, and this will also depend on the kitty you’ve built up.
- Teams earn points through challenges.
- They will have to face different tests: Photo/video, Augmented reality, Cultural riddles, Code deciphering (runes, Morse code, hieroglyphs), MCQs, Fun challenges (folk dancing, singing, accents), Puzzles, etc.
- At the end of the game, all the participants gather in the main “room” for the debriefing led by the coach: the coach will collect the participants’ feelings, their experience during the game and finally give the team rankings.
