1. Define Your Objectives
Before diving into the details, it's crucial to define what you want to achieve with your Corporate Survivor Game. Are you looking to improve communication, build trust, or simply have fun and boost morale? Setting clear objectives will help you tailor the activities and ensure that the event aligns with your company’s goals. Whether it's fostering teamwork or encouraging creative problem-solving, understanding your goals will shape the entire experience.
2. Choose the Right Venue
Location is key to creating an authentic Survivor experience. Whether you choose a natural outdoor setting like a park or beach, or an indoor space transformed into a Survivor-themed arena, ensure the venue is spacious enough for physical challenges and team activities. A versatile venue that allows for both physical and mental challenges will provide the best experience for participants.
3. Plan Engaging Challenges
The heart of any Survivor game lies in its challenges. First off, make sure you tailor your challenges to your group and venue. To keep your team engaged, mix up physical tasks with mental puzzles and problem-solving activities. Here are a few ideas:
- Obstacle Courses: Test physical endurance and teamwork with a series of obstacles.
- Puzzle Solving: Engage the mind with challenges that require logic and collaboration.
- Resource Management Games: Simulate the Survivor experience with challenges that involve building or finding resources.
- Trivia Quizzes: Incorporate questions about your company or industry to make the event more relevant and fun.
4. Form Teams Strategically
Divide your participants into balanced teams to ensure fair competition. Consider mixing departments or pairing people who don’t usually work together. This encourages networking and helps break down silos within your organization. You might want to include an icebreaker activity before the game starts to help teams bond and get comfortable with each other.
5. Set the Stage with Themed Elements
Enhance the Survivor atmosphere with themed elements. Decorate the venue with tiki torches, banners, and tribal music. Provide teams with bandanas, flags, or other props to boost team spirit and create a competitive edge. Small details like these can significantly elevate the overall experience, making participants feel like they are part of an actual Survivor game.
6. Facilitate and Monitor the Game
To keep the event running smoothly, consider hiring us as professional facilitators. We can guide the teams, explain rules, and ensure fair play throughout the game. A facilitator can also help with debriefing after each challenge, highlighting lessons learned and linking them back to workplace scenarios. This reflection is crucial for turning fun activities into meaningful team-building exercises.
7. Crown the Survivors
Conclude your Corporate Survivor Challenge with an awards ceremony. Recognize the winning team with trophies, medals, or even a fun prize that ties into the Survivor theme. Don’t forget to acknowledge individual performances as well—highlighting outstanding leadership, teamwork, or creativity can reinforce the positive behaviors you want to encourage in the workplace.
8. Reflect and Debrief
After the excitement of the competition, take some time to debrief with your team. Discuss what they learned from the experience and how they can apply these lessons to their work. This is an opportunity to reinforce the team-building objectives and ensure that the skills developed during the game transfer back to the office.
