• Highlighting the way we behave in a group, especially when we feel under pressure, when it comes to achieving collective goals in a limited time
• Acknowledging the roles we take within a team (and those we don't)
• Identifying how other people's behaviors affect us
• Developing our communication skills and improving our ability to make decisions within a diverse group without talking.

Duration: 1h

For this serious game, divide the whole group (28 people) into two groups of 14 persons. In each group, ask one person to be an observer. Each group will be in their own room, so as they cannot see what the other group is doing.

Each team will have the same objective to reach: the same material to play. Precise from the beginning that the time frame is strict: no additional minute will be given.

The team faces a minefield consisting of ten lines of 10 boxes each (100 boxes in total). On each line, only one square is not mined. The whole team must cross the field by walking on the right squares, otherwise they will return to the starting square. It is not allowed to pass over the field or over the sides. The participants have 3 minutes at the beginning of the game to consult and establish a strategy. After this time, they can no longer talk to each other. The team has 15 minutes (1 minute per person) to find themselves completely on the other side. Each time someone speaks or someone makes a mistake (foot out of square, wrong square, loss of balance, etc.), say “Boom” and everyone goes back to the starting point.

After 20 minutes, gather both teams in a circle for a collective debrief.

Give first the speech to the observers, asking them to describe and explain what they saw. Then, give the speech to the “players”:

• How did you feel?
• How did you interact with what was happening?
• Did your emotions evolve during the exercise? How?
• To what extent have your behaviours been induced (guided) by your emotions?
• Which emotions were generated by the successes and failures of your group?
• Did the behaviors of other members of your team affect you? If it is the case, when and which ones?
