HOW GAME FOR SOLUTIONS DELIVERS VALUE

Game for Solutions is a structured and dynamic activity where collaboration and competition motivate people to tackle challenges creatively, together.

When teams collaborate to confront challenges, creativity sparks. Competition increases a team’s motivation to achieve and win the game. The mix of the urge to 'win' and working together creates urgency, fuels adrenalin and gives a team a laser-focused concentration on the task.

Result:

  • 10 problems and you'll get 30 potential solutions to play with.

  • 20 problems, you’ll get 60 to explore.

  • Works with up to 30 people and a minimum of nine.

  An innovative way to get people collaborating, fast.

  To create energising experiences for your groups.

  Embrace the opportunity to enhance your facilitation.

 
It’s not ideal for you if you:

What people say:

Sue Anderson, Resilience and Empowerment Expert, used Game for Solutions with her leaders. Hear how it worked for her in this quick video: watch here.

This is a great activity to have in your toolbox. It uses collaboration, creativity and a fun element of competition for an immersive experience. It's also scalable, working with groups of almost any size, which makes it ideal whether you're a facilitator, trainer, meeting or project lead, consultant, or change agent. It's so important when learning how to run a new activity that it's introduced and run through well. You've got to feel confident when using it yourself afterwards. I can say Jacinta runs the Game for Solutions workshops extremely well. The structure, pace, explanations, and practical 'try it out' sections make everything very accessible and understandable. Highly recommended!
Esther Patrick, Director of Keystone Training, United Kingdom

“The ‘game’ is a very practical activity that engages people mentally, physically, and relationally, and it's flexible enough to morph for various situations. The masterclass is definitely worth the time and money and is useful in a variety of settings. Jacinta is a clear communicator and provides hands-on examples, checklists, photos, etc., so that it's fairly straightforward to do on your own after the session. I'm looking forward to when I have the opportunity to use this with my clients. Thanks, Jacinta!”
Robin Muretisch, Facilitative Insights LLC, USA

“It's really worth learning how to set up and run a Game for Solutions. The masterclass is fast paced and packs in a lot in 90 minutes, enough to give you the confidence to get out there and give it a go. I loved it! Thank you Jacinta for the excellent training and sharing your experiences.”
Miriam O’Donoghue, Facilitator, Trainer and Consultant, Ireland

“There's no reason that adults can't have fun whilst working, and Game for Solutions is the perfect activity. Collaborative, a little competitive and some really excellent outputs and outcomes. Jacinta's masterclass will give you the confidence and understanding to run this for all ages, group sizes and topics of discussion. If you need quality brainstorming with that little bit extra that turns it into actionable ideas, Game for Solutions is for you!”
Emily Physick, Foxtrot & Echo, Gippsland

If you have a large group, Game for Solutions is a way you can get a broad range of valuable suggestions without group dynamics killing it off. I highly recommend Jacinta’s workshop to learn how to do it yourself.”
Cathy O’Dwyer, O’Dwyer Accreditation, Melbourne

What others have said:  

“…having to work together seemed to build trust.”

“The real-world content gave the game meaning.”

“We were so focused, a well-oiled machine.”

“We came up with stuff I would have never have thought of on my own.”

“I can’t wait to try this with my own team!”



Game for Solutions is an adaptation of the original People Sized Board Game created by Karen Ridd at Training for Change.
