I have used the game with several of my clients. The feedback is fabulous. This experiential learning tool places participants in small teams to plan and undertake a trek into Superstition Mountains to find the famous Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine. Participants report that the experience is very engaging and lots of fun. The powerful learning comes in the debrief after the game.
Participants recall their behavior and their reactions to other people's behavior.
True character and work culture are exposed. Their experience in the game sets the stage for great learning about communication, teamwork, leadership. If you'd like more input from me on our experience using the game, feel free to drop a note. Within an hour, a quiet, even reticent, group becomes a hive of action, and by conclusion, its a shouting horse race aided by the pressure of time of each round. People's native behavior begins to leak out despite their reserve, and finally becomes a torrent.
