ONE LESS POWERPOINT, PLEASE.
Somewhere in your agenda sits the thing people actually need to know; the strategy refresh, the AI rollout, the values that currently live on a poster.
They get forty minutes + a slide deck and the room nods along.
It's not a content problem; but a format one - however good the slide is, it is still a slide and in a long day the message will be lost.
Work with us and that same content becomes an immersive adventure - teams of four to ten working together, against the clock, in competition with the rest of the room.
The next time your team sees the strategy on a wall it is not 'we do this', it is I remember when we did that.
ANATOMY OF A SESSION.
01Electronic devices
A range of electronic devices aids the immersion. UV torches reveal codes, bespoke audio puzzles give sound to your content and hand-controlled devices measure your movements.
02The box
A bespoke box houses the critical artwork, puzzles and keeps the experience standardised.
03Physical puzzles
Physical puzzles mean the mission challenges a range of skills and ensures all participants are engaged at every point.
04Your content
Your content is delivered in a range of different formats; newspapers giving exec thought as an opinion piece, postcards telling the story of the year, acetate maps overlaying your key sites. .
05Competition
Each team is competing against the rest of the room and a huge countdown clock - adding to the immersion and sense of urgency throughout.
HOW IT WORKS.
A KIT ON EVERY TABLE
Each team of 4-10 completes an array of identical challenges - entering the solutions into their own kit.
AGAINST THE CLOCK
The countdown runs on the main screens. Every team is competing against the clock, and each other.
CONTENT = THE PUZZLE
Worked examples, case studies and exec briefings become the material teams have to read, decode and use to complete the challenge
Sound, light and things to handle
Cryptex, UV torches and bespoke electronic puzzles mean every team is engaged - no clunky IPad App freezing on the WiFi.
OUR EVENT STAFF RUNNING THE SERIAL
Our experienced delivery team facilitate all of the elements required to ensure a smooth and professional event.
AN OPTIONAL, ON STAGE, FINALE

THE PROCESS.
THE WORKSHOP
A structured session with your stakeholders, in person or remote where we analyse the audience, the agenda slot and what people must leave the room knowing.
THE DEVELOPMENT
Scenario, puzzles, artwork and audio designed around your exact content and brand guidelines. Every element is approved before production.
On the day
Kits on the tables in conjunction with venue staff, our team briefs the room, runs the clock, releases clues and hands the debrief over to you.
WE'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
EY
