Moon Mission Scenario Guide
The team has crash-landed on the Moon, about 50 km from the mother ship. Fifteen items survived, and teams must rank which items matter most for survival and rescue.

Emotional Tone
- Isolation
- Hostile environment
- Unfamiliar survival logic
- Pressure to move despite uncertainty
Facilitation Emphasis
Moon Mission is useful because many Earth-based assumptions fail. Participants may overvalue familiar items and undervalue constraints from vacuum, low gravity, extreme temperature, navigation, and communication.
Common Participant Behaviors
- Treating familiar Earth survival logic as reliable
- Overvaluing fire-related tools
- Underestimating oxygen, water, navigation, and communication
- Debating based on confidence rather than environment-specific reasoning
- Assuming useful on Earth means useful on the Moon
What To Watch For
- Who challenges assumptions?
- Who relies on familiar logic?
- Who asks about environmental constraints?
- Does the team distinguish comfort from survival value?
- Does confidence get treated as evidence?
Debrief Angles
- Earth assumptions in unfamiliar systems
- Confidence vs correctness
- Adapting expertise to a new context
- Decision-making under incomplete information
- How quickly the team abandoned bad assumptions
Do Not Reveal During Gameplay
Do not reveal the optimal ranking or explain the expert logic before teams submit.
