Between FloorsTeam Decision Exercise
A dark office elevator, a failing communication system, and one final night patrol leave your team a narrow chance to be heard.
Scenario items
A quick look at the item set.
Use this high-stakes survival scenario to give the group one structured decision. Every team must explain priorities, work through disagreement, and reach one shared ranking before the reveal.
Sample items
Emergency whistle
Hand sanitizer
Teams debate the value of 9 items and lock in one shared ranking. The reveal compares their choices with the scenario's reference ranking, giving the facilitator concrete material for a debrief about priorities, persuasion, changing minds, and consensus.
Best for: workplace teams, communication workshops, groups that enjoy familiar constraints
What teams debate: Signaling, battery dependencies, heat, and resisting unsafe self-rescue when waiting feels passive.
Debrief prompts
- Which item created the strongest disagreement?
- What assumption did the team make too quickly?
- Who changed their mind during the discussion?
- Did the team optimize for safety, speed, rescue, or certainty?
- What would you do differently in a real group decision?
