A team building event that highlights the power of cooperation, but also the risks and the stress associated with the work within.

The "Domino effect" is a chain reaction that occurs when a small change causes a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and so on in linear sequence. The Domino effect is a wonderful metaphor to talk about what happens in organizations and teams - where both good attitudes and the bad ones tend to cascade. 

Small teams must contribute to the whole whilst competing to build the most impressive exhibit, all the while balancing the risk that one misplaced domino could cause the entire display to falter. Group cooperation is key to team success.

The event concludes with the dramatic display as the first domino is toppled and the ‘Domino Effect’ begins. Teams work together to create a pattern or stunt within the space, time and quantity of dominoes they have available.  The more complex the display the more testing and refining will be needed requiring teams to carefully organize their roles and resources. The scoring criteria is based upon complexity and spectacle, with teams able to access pre-made props or create their own.

OBTAINED RESULTS:

Domino experience encourage participants to reflect on specific issue (theme of domino design) and learn perspectives of their colleagues about the issue;

Strengthen bonds between participants;

Promotes teamwork and cooperation;
