The Collaboration Journey

Our newest exercise, The Collaboration Journey, is the first of a series of Square Wheels® Games that readily links to our popular Square Wheels® illustrations. The Collaboration Journey sets up individuals on a journey forward with each managing a single wagon. Players need to make decisions about movement and timing during a series of rounds.

Collaboration
Communications
Planning 

 

It demonstrates how the choices players make, such as whether to work together or not, determine outcome. Play can be for up to 6 people per table with as many tables in play as you desire. Overall measured results can be directly compared between tables to get a sense of how each collaborated to optimize performance. This team building game takes about 60-90 minutes to explain, play and debrief.

There are two versions available:

The Collaboration Journey I - Simple Version ($149)
The Simple Collaboration Journey works nicely to focus on issues surrounding team performance, collaboration and planning. It includes an element of chance (not present in the Complex Version) and this simplifies play.

Read More...

The Collaboration Journey II - Complex Version ($149)
This Complex Version differs from the Simple Version in that it adds the additional movement of "wagon pushers" to each round of play, adding a level of complexity to the understanding of the task as well as to actual player interactions. The metaphor of diversity can be debriefed, if that is part of your desired session outcomes. This is not a game on diversity but on strategic planning and collaboration.

Collaboration Journey Tabletop Set (for 3 to 6 players) can be purchased separately for $30 a set for use with either the Simple Version or the Complex version. It includes all the materials needed for play: instructions, game pieces and a 17"x30" game board. All materials are laminated and reusable. One set is for a table of 3 to 6 players. This is an optional purchase.

Seven Seas Quest / Buccaneer

These two exercises are packaged on one CD. Seven Seas Quest is a seafaring adventure team building game involving 18 months (real time of 2 minutes per month) of sailing to the Islands in the quest to save the world. Its sister game, Buccaneer, is the same design but its theme involves stealing the gold back from the Pirates. In either exercise, each ship's crew has certain assigned responsibilities and the crew must make a series of decisions about what information to gather, what path to take, how to optimize results and how best to sail back home.

Both are designed to be delivered and debriefed in 3.5 hours and can be used with groups from 15 to 500+ people.

One price with both versions on the cd is $895.
