In the TRIP game players take the roles of project teams whose goal is to plan a round the world trip. The task is not easy as the client has high expectations, while the budget and time to execute the project are fairly limited.
The workshop with TRIP consists of 2 plays:
During the first play participants face difficulties that can be met on the way to a successful outcome of a project and learn how to efficiently collaborate within a team,
During the second play they take advantage of the experience they have gained and therefore their work proceeds more smoothly and in a more structured way.
Tasks that players have to face during the game are various – they have been planned so that each participant could choose the role he/she feels most comfortable with and in line with his/her capacities.
