The name of this classic is The XO Game. The objective is to win. How the teams win is by accumulating the highest amount of profits for them. How they accumulate profits is by going through a specific number of voting rounds. Just like in a reality show, when the Game Master calls for their votes in each round, teams will simultaneously display their votes. Based on the teams’ votes, some teams will earn certain profits and some will make certain losses for that round. To add tension to the game, there will be some Bonus Rounds. Through the game, they learn the concept of win-win, which allows not only the individual team to win but how all the other teams can win as well. This activity is engaging as it involves all participants voting in the process. The debriefing is designed to highlight the benefits of a collaborative mindset versus the dangers of having a silo-mentality in the workplace. It stresses on thinking and behaviour that will lead to better results in the workplace. after all, the total is always greater than the sum of all parts.
