Participants will be divided into teams of treasure hunters. Their objective is to find the hidden treasures and get off Forbidden Island before it sinks. The teams will be going to different locations and completing different challenges in order to find clues leading them to the location of all the hidden treasures. Challenges will be divided into different categories such as physical, mental mystery, and skill. Teams will have to decide which challenges they want to attempt as well as to choose the team members best suited for the different challenges. Besides looking for treasures, teams will also have to collect materials that will help them to build a landing pad for the escape helicopter to land. Once the pad is built and the teams have treasure in hand and all team members accounted for, it’s lift off!
In order to succeed, the teams must not only work amongst themselves but must work with other teams as well. Through the process of playing the game they will realize that sharing resources and ideas between the different teams creates a win-win situation for all teams. Success is not a zero-sum game.
