What Exit is about

Thomas is on vacation, exploring a cave by the sea, when a landslide seals the exit. Now he's stuck inside with a group of strangers, and the clock is ticking: it's cold, it's dark and the tide keeps changing.

No lone hero is getting everyone out. The group will only survive if it learns to work as a real team: getting to know each other, cooperating, trusting, communicating clearly and coordinating every move. Sound familiar? It's exactly what teams at work skip when they're in a rush.

In Exit you practice these skills in the game's realistic simulators, in a safe, stress-free environment, and get personalized feedback on your areas for improvement.

What you'll learn

  • The dimensions that allow a team to work effectively.
  • How to spot the specific aspects of each dimension of teamwork.
  • The skills that strengthen each dimension: communication, empathy, assertiveness and coordination, among others.
  • How to solve problems and make decisions as a group, even under pressure.
  • How to build trust and interpersonal relationships that drive results.

FAQ

How long does Exit take, and how is it played?

About 1 hour and 45 minutes. It's played online, on any device with an internet connection.

Can we add it to our LMS?

Yes. Play it on the Game Strategies platform or add it as one more course in your LMS (Cornerstone, Moodle, SAP SuccessFactors…), and track each learner's and group's progress in real time.

Is Exit a team building training activity?

Exit is a serious game on teamwork rather than a one-off team building event: each person practices, with simulators and feedback, the skills that make a team work. That makes it a solid piece of any team building training plan.

Why use a video game for teamwork training?

Because teamwork is learned by doing. Exit combines practical content you can apply at work, gamification (storytelling, rankings, levels and badges) and hands-on exercises with no real-world risk.
