Can your team Escape The Island before it is too late?!
Teams stranded on an island must work together and pass through 9 different challenge zones to learn basic survival skills then signal a passing ship to be rescued from the island.
How It Works
Teams are stranded on an island. To escape they must spot a passing ship and send it a signal. While they wait, they need to adapt to island life to survive. The island, represented on a tablet-based app, is divided into nine zones. Each zone has a series of challenges focusing on water, weather, first aid, building shelters, signalling, etc. They must move through all zones within a limited time frame, gaining points for their team. Caution is required, as once they leave a zone they cannot return. Teams eventually determine the name of the ship, when it is passing, and signal it for rescue.
Learning Outcomes
To survive the island teams must develop a strategy, and apply it with agility. Knowing when to move to the next zone, and when to linger also requires active communication, and consensus decision making. Teams have fun learning how to learn together, gaining knowledge of real survival skills. Limited time and resources puts team dynamics to the test, challenging them to look for opportunity. Each zone allows the allocation of tasks to specific team members, so they can play to their strengths for the overall benefit of the team. Flexible in its approach, Escape the Island can be designed for a one-hour session or a more in depth team development game over 3 hours.
