ISSUE: THE BOARD
HAS A COMPLEX
PROBLEM TO SOLVE
ACTIVITY: ESCAPE ROOM
If your board is comprised of super-sleuths, try an
escape room adventure. Your team gets locked in a
room and must work together to solve a mystery using
the provided clues before time runs out. This activity
is effective because to solve each clue, you rely on
an entirely different skill, so everyone has a chance
to shine. If you solve the mystery, you're greeted with
fanfare when you unlock the door. If you don't solve
the mystery, your team will be free to leave without
getting to taste victory.
WHY IT WORKS: When it comes to the escape room,
the adage "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how
you play the game" is quite true. Working together to
escape the room will help you discover each board
member's strengths, which will give you a good idea of
what to delegate to whom when your board has a big
issue to solve.
