About The Speaker
Keys to Success
This team-building activity, "Keys to Success," combines puzzle-solving, scavenger hunting, and collaborative challenges. Teams, named after fun themes, start by decoding cryptic clues that lead them around the property. The game introduces unexpected twists, requiring teams to barter for clues and eventually merge with other teams. Once combined, larger groups tackle creative photo and video tasks, encouraging out-of-the-box thinking and teamwork. The activity concludes with a debrief highlighting workplace-applicable learnings, followed by a prize for the winning team. The collected photos and videos provide lasting memories and entertainment, fostering a blend of competition, collaboration, and creative problem-solving throughout the experience.
About the activity
This activity isn’t just about cracking puzzles and hunting for clues, it practices and preaches a very important message – COLLABORATION and UNITY AS ONE TEAM
- By design, the entire audience is split into numerous small sized teams
- Each team will be named after various different names like ingredients of a cocktail, movie characters and even ingredients of a signature Indian dish!
- Each team will receive their first clue at the banquet hall. Team members will work closely and will attempt to decode the cryptic message given to them
- Once teams crack this puzzle, they head out to a different location somewhere in the property in search of their next clue! But they can receive their next clue only if they can provide a suitable barter for it
- Teams receive another cryptic puzzle which when decoded informs them to collaborate with two other specific teams in order to win! This sends each and every team in a frenzy searching for the other two teams – who probably are doing the exact same thing somewhere in the property!
- The excitement of meeting that team is then dealt with the ability to gain their trust to collaborate! Teams usually refuse to merge with the others owing to the competitive angle but soon realise that this is the key to success
- Three teams that come together must now work as a single large team and perform a series of exciting photo and video tasks! This is a test of their team work and desire to win! The challenges are creative and will require the team to think out of the box to complete them! Everyone contributes with their suggestions and ultimately the team takes a decision on how and what to do to execute the challenge!
- Finally, the teams arrive to the destination where their tasks are validated and their timings are noted.
- The facilitators then talk to the audience about their experience and highlight a few key learnings that they can relate to and apply at the workplace!
- Finally, the facilitators announce the winner of the session and hand over a gift hamper for the winning team!
- The photos and videos can be collected and collated for show later and is guaranteed to generate plenty of laughter!
