Why this event?

The perfect training event disguised as fun, Mission to Mars challenges your team through two or three training scenarios, each increasing in complexity. Focusing on communication, problem-solving, and team efficiency, teams must decipher a series of clues and find the necessary passcodes needed to find the solution. The more info we get, the harder it can be to disseminate. This program uses the idea of information overload to challenge your team to work together and make sense of the data and details they will be given on their first Mission to Mars.

After each round, we gather the entire group back together to reflect and discuss what worked and what didn’t work with the goal of improving everyone’s performance in the next scenario. The final wrap-up will explore their progress throughout the event and allow each participant the chance to share what they have learned in the process.

There are numerous different missions of varying difficulty, and based on your specific program goals we will select the games that will best suit your team’s needs.

Tailoring

There is a break after every round where the whole group comes together and reflects: on what worked and what didn’t? It then becomes clear for example, that even though a team worked quickly, it only solved the code correctly half of the time – because it hadn’t verified the information sufficiently. In every round, the team learns something new and receives enough food for the final reflection.

What mission will your team go on?

We offer four missions ranging in levels of difficulty that use similar, yet different activities and challenges to keep teams engaged and motivated.

The different levels allow teams to participate in a one-time activity or can be played in conjunction with one another. Chances are, your team will be begging for their next mission.
