A spy-themed team building quest
School For Spies is a perfect way to become more effective at prioritization and activate effective time management techniques. This competitive challenge is a wildly exciting step away from the day-to-day routine, and always filled with hilarious surprises. It’s also really effective at pushing out-of-the-box thinking. Because let’s face it, success as a top international spy these days requires a lot of right-brain ingenuity.
The scenario: student spy teams are taking their big final exam. The scores determine which lucky grads will enjoy plum assignments with international travel, flying cars and big expense accounts. To score well, teams need to break codes, follow clues and retrieve sensitive information, all in the name of making the world a safer place.
Each spy exercise requires out-of-the-box thinking, creative problem-solving. Each draws on a different set of skills. And each teaches your group something new about themselves, and about each other. No wonder everyone rates this so highly as a fun, effective team training event.
