The Go Game
Today was one of the more fun days at work, because we got to play the famous The Go Game. If you dont know what it is, i suggest you read it from their site. Based in San Francisco,the company that hosts The Go Game can build a game anywhere in the US. A quote from their site.
It's the intersection of wireless technology, Mission: Impossible, and team-building as you have never seen it. Take your company to new levels of creativity and cohesiveness with the next generation of team-building activities.
How it works is, Teams of 4 to 8 individuals compete with one another to complete missions in the most ingenious, daring, and creative fashion. These missions are downloaded to each team's web-enabled cell phone.
The mission may be a clue, a creative challenge, directions to the next event, an engineering problem, a public display of outrageousness ... the list goes on. The answers to the challenges, or the "Proofs," are created by each team in the form of digital photographs, digital video, audio recordings and text input.
Imagine your company set loose on the streets of your city, competing with one another for the ultimate challenge. Planted clues, creative and interpretive missions, trivia, even conspiring ice cream vendors are all woven magically together by wireless technology (flowing through web-enabled cell phones) to bring you a team-building experience like no other. That was exactly how it felt. In our case, the game took part at Crocker Park close to work. What makes these games unique is the level of inventiveness, creativity, and seamless magic that is weaved into each activity.
Watching the creative videos and pictures the team took was great fun. Some of them were simply side-splitting. Apart from the thunderstorms that caused the event to end earlier than we wanted, and the fact that our team ended up dead last, we had a good time.
