Gridlock
Problem Solving, Risk
The Challenge
To determine a path across the grid
network of spaces. A participant is allowed to move
as far as they can, until they make an error. At this
point, a new participant begins the journey, and attempts
to make a better choice at the site of the last error.
Allow the group a few minutes to plan before the activity
begins.
Typical Presentation,
Storyline or Metaphor |
 |
Ok, here's the drill. You work for
a very competitive delivery company. You have the best
trucks, the friendliest
drivers,
the best computerized technology at your fingertips,
and right now you have a vital package that is
needed on the
other side of town. It is 5pm, rush hour, and you
need to find the best way across town. Main roads,
side streets, back alleys, any way you can find. Anytime
you come to
a
dead end or traffic jam, you'll need to change
drivers.
When you find the correct route to take you through
all the traffic,
you can alert the company and have the rest of
the drivers follow you.
