Game Mechanics:
- Team Formation: Participants will be divided into teams, ideally comprising individuals from diverse backgrounds and expertise to encourage collaboration and creativity.
- Time-Limited Challenges: Each team will face a series of time-limited bridge-building challenges. The challenges will gradually increase in complexity and difficulty as the game progresses.
- Materials and Budget: Each team will have a virtual budget to purchase bridge-building materials. Teams must plan and manage their resources effectively to stay within budget constraints.
- Construction Interface: The game will provide an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for constructing bridges. Teams can use various building elements such as beams, trusses, cables, and supports to create their structures.
- Physics Simulation: The game will feature a realistic physics engine that will assess the stability and load-bearing capacity of the constructed bridges. Teams must ensure their bridges can withstand the weight of vehicles crossing them.
- Workshop Facilitator’s Role: A facilitator will guide the teams through the game, provide tips, and promote discussions on effective bridge-building strategies. The facilitator will also emphasize the importance of teamwork, communication, and creative problem-solving.
- Time for Reflection: After each challenge, there will be a brief period for teams to reflect on their approach, identify strengths and weaknesses, and share lessons learned. The facilitator can lead discussions to highlight key takeaways.
- Friendly Competition: Teams can earn points based on their bridge’s performance, cost-effectiveness, and creativity. A leaderboard can be displayed to encourage friendly competition and motivate teams to improve. We hear this from customers that have ordered our full set of courses.
- In-Game Tips and Hints: The game can offer helpful tips and hints when teams face challenges, promoting learning and exploration.
- Debriefing Session: At the end of the workshop, there will be a comprehensive debriefing session, where the facilitator will recap the workshop’s key learnings and relate them to real-life applications and workplace scenarios.
Graphics and Sound:
The game will feature a visually appealing 3D environment with vibrant colors and detailed bridge-building elements.
The soundtrack will be motivational and energizing, enhancing the workshop’s overall atmosphere.
Conclusion:
The Bridge Builder Workshop Challenge is designed to foster active participation, teamwork, and problem-solving skills within a training workshop.
By incorporating elements of gamification and interactivity, participants are more likely to engage actively and retain the knowledge and skills gained during the experience.
The game’s collaborative nature also encourages relationship-building among participants, leading to a more enriching workshop experience.
