You are a member of the Intergalactic Peace Force and the year is 2144. Put on your team caps and survey the scene. "Compete" against other teams as you enjoy a stunning slide show of the Universe and futuristic music playing in the background. Aliens are plotting against the Earth. What are they up to? How can we disrupt their diabolical plans? Will your team achieve the mission and save us all?
Intergalactic Adventure is a fast-paced team building simulation that requires effective collaboration, leadership, planning, and communication. An unlimited number of quads of five to six individuals make their way to the enemy base, accomplish as many target missions as possible, and return to the Space Cruiser. Squads have only twenty days to get to the enemy base and return safely with each day lasting between five to ten minutes. Their ultimate mission is to land on the enemy’s planet, clear away potential threats, and dismantle the enemy's communications relays.
Throughout this three-hour activity, teams acquire new information that rewards flexibility and inter-team communication. Unexpected events occur causing teams to improvise, adapt and collaborate with other teams to accomplish the objectives.
Participants will learn that every person contributes to overall group effectiveness, as they see the parallels between their actions during the exercise and their behaviors on-the-job. Your team will build trust, improve communication, and enhance collaboration as they engage in their Intergalactic Adventure.
Key success factors include:
- Planning is paramount. Teams must coordinate their efforts with fellow team members to achieve their goals.
- Teamwork is critical. Teams benefit by collaborating between groups.
- Effective communication makes the difference between organization and confusion.
- Participants are rewarded for moderate risk-taking, while excessive aggressiveness, competitiveness, and secrecy with other teams negatively impact results.
- Flexibility is essential. New information throughout the exercise must be integrated into the existing plan.
