Barter Puzzle

“Not another dumb company team building game,” says the displeased employee. Ouch. When this thought crosses your employees’ minds, you can pretty much throw the benefits of team bonding games out the window.

The Barter Puzzle

Time: 1 – 2 hours

Number of Participants: Seven Members

Tools Needed: Different jigsaw puzzles for each group

Rules: 

Have everyone break off into small, equal-sized groups. Give each group a different jigsaw puzzle with the same difficulty level. The goal is to see which group can complete their jigsaw puzzle the fastest. However! Some pieces will be mixed around in other group’s jigsaw puzzles. It’s up to the team to come up with a way to get those pieces back — either through negotiating, trading, exchanging team members, etc. Whatever they decide to do, they must decide as a group.

Objective: This activity will rely heavily on problem solving and leadership skills. Some team members might stand out and some might stand back, but it’s important to remember that the entire team must come to a consensus before a decision is made.

Finally Our team got 2nd place from that game and we archived that target work as team.

Team building activities and games are supposed to be not only educational, but also enjoyable. They help the team learn about each other.
