Choose your challenge

You cannot expect to solve new problems with old ways of thinking. In each challenge, teams will unlock new ways of thinking that they can use in the real world.  Solve one, or solve them both.

Code Crackers I

In Code Crackers I your team is tasked with finding the missing codes. The team’s individual strengths and differences will be put to the test in this brain-twisting challenge.

From Morse Code to Caeser’s cipher, unlocking the final room will challenge even the smartest of teams.

Code Crackers II

In Code Crackers II, a hacker has locked us out of all of our systems. Can your team of security experts get back control before time runs out?

In this complex challenge, teams take on the role of security experts tasked with regaining control of the computer system before the hacker deletes all the files. To accomplish the mission, teams must work together, spot patterns, and use creative thinking.

For more developmental team building sessions, the code crackers 2 game has been split into two parts, so you can debrief the game between rounds and help people improve.

Let's talk.

For more than 20 years, we’ve been helping teams like yours enhance open communication and build team camaraderie. If you want to rekindle the bonds your team once shared, or you’re assembling a new virtual team for the post-pandemic world, we are here to help.
