Zombie ApocalypseTeam Decision Exercise
Cross a broken city before dark, choosing quiet tools, basic supplies, and route options over heavy distractions.
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
High-calorie compact food bars (8)
50 feet of climbing-grade rope
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: high-energy offsites, team-building sessions, groups that want a louder premise
What teams debate: Noise, speed, basic supplies, and resisting heavy gear that slows the group down.
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?
