About

In Quickfire Olympics Online, remote teams initiate the competition by nominating a team leader for the first round. Transitioning seamlessly between mental and creative challenges, as well as multiple-choice and photo tasks, teams encounter three levels of difficulty, each accompanied by a distinct reward. Upon completing a round, the team leader baton is seamlessly passed on to another player, who assumes the role for the next set of challenges. Every team member takes turns leading their team through the engaging activities. Moreover, teams have the opportunity to accrue bonus points by demonstrating creativity in the photographic challenges. The winning team is the one with the most points at the end of the game, not the team to finish first.

Island Survivor is a fun remote team building activity where teams are stranded on an island. To escape, they must determine the name of a ship, the date, time and horizon it will be passing. While they wait, they need to adapt to island life to survive. The island is divided into nine zones. In each zone, they are faced with a series of challenges focusing on different aspects of island survival including water, weather, first aid, building shelters, signalling, and the like. Items washed up on the shore will help them in answering the challenges. Completing the challenges successfully will give them vital survival skills.

Teams need to gain enough knowledge of each aspect in order to survive. Too much time in a zone, and they will lose time to gain knowledge of that will assist them in uncovering how they will be rescued. Too little time and they will not gain the vital knowledge they require. Once they leave a zone they cannot return. Teams who  determine the name of the ship, and when and where it will be passing are rescued. The rescued team with the most points is declared the winner.

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 put 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, Island Survivor can be designed for a one-hour session, or a more in-depth team development game over 3 hours.
