Feedback
This is what participants have to say about this game
Who it involves
Normally between 12 to 24 participants in each session (but this is flexible), competing in smaller teams against each other.
They are led at all times by a facilitator either from PBS or the client.
How long it lasts
Most games are 2-8 hours. Some classroom courses last up to 4 days. We tend to avoid playing online for more than half a day in one go.
There is normally some brief pre-work for participants to complete and we suggest a short follow-up workshop to embed the learning.
Where it happens
Almost all of our games can be played face-to-face, virtually or a combination of both.
Increasingly, we are seeing demand for digital games to be played face-to-face in the classroom.
“This is the best training I’ve ever experienced”
Most corporate training is boring, irrelevant or immediately forgotten. Our approach combines experiential and social learning to create immersive, lifelike and memorable experiences.
Participants learn in a few hours what might take months or years in their real jobs.
