A construction training activity
     involving openness, honesty, negotiation
          with win win and inter-team rivalry.

The Tower

This training exercise is a variation of the popular "Prisoners' Dilemma" also known as "Red Team" and "Blue Team."

Inter-team co-operation seems to be the name of the game, but there are problems: teams cannot progress together. No matter how hard teams try one must win unless they settle for mediocrity. Added to this there is always scope for double dealing after deals have been made...

Teams earn tokens which are used to obtain parts to build a tower. The team building the biggest tower wins!

This activity brings out important issues such as:

• openness, honesty and trust
• negotiating
• communicating within and between teams
• win win
• inter-team rivalry

Duration:     1.5 to 3 hours

Numbers:     Up to 2 teams with 3 to 6 delegates in a team (for each kit).
