Description

Let’s attract your inner Zombie (Yes, we are using the Z-word)… Set in a world overrun by the undead, we challenge you to identify your survival team in this immersive, strategy-based game. What strengths and characteristics would you choose to give you the best chance of surviving the apocalypse.

Agenda

We will explore how someone's background, experiences and social influences can impact on their decisions and actions, as individuals and as part of a team.

Materials will be provided which make the experience interactive and participatory.

Participants

Participants will be asked to work as individuals or within groups of up to 4 of 5, to identify their survival team and feedback with their thoughts and ideas.

We can scale the session to accommodate as many or as few people as our space will allow, although the session works best with around 16-25 people.

Outcome

We will engage and challenge the participants understanding of conscious and unconscious biases, as well as learning more about their own and others social and cultural influences. We are looking for feedback on our session, to improve it as a training tool and as we look to move this game online, into a virtual or augmented reality.
