Split team members into equal groups of 4 or 5 people (though not ideal, it is possible to play with groups of 3). Items Needed: At least 3 puzzles with 50 pieces or fewer. Were any creative solutions purposed? How were they received? What skill were used to succeed in the challenge? It also reinforces the idea that everyone is equally important, valuable and necessary for the team to succeed.ĭid team work come easily or was it a struggle to get through? This simple activity encourages communication and problem solving, since every member of the group is needed to complete the task. The more open-minded and collectively responsible the group is, the more quickly they'll succeed. However, the group won't be able to succeed unless they shift from blaming to asking questions. The tendency of the stick to float can lead group members to begin blaming others for the group failure. This can lead to confusion or perhaps even frustration among the team. At first, people will likely lift the stick or set it off balance. It sounds like a simple task, but it is deceptively challenging. Everyone must be standing on their feet when you start. Pinching or grabbing the stick with other fingers is considered cheating. If it slips, they have to start from the beginning. Once the stick is laying across participants fingers, tell them that their challenge is to lower this stick to the ground.Įveryone's finger must remain in contact with the stick at all times during the challenge. The stick should be at the chest level height of the tallest participant to start. Lay the magic cane or helium stick across their fingers. Ideally, you should have an even number of people on both sides, however it is still possible to play with an uneven number.Īsk your group to raise their arms and point their index fingers out. Split your group into two lines facing each other. Goal: The group must lower the stick until it is touching the ground.

Please help, because I feel like this game formed some part in my psyche and would love to play it again (or at least look at screenshots and compare them to the images in my mind). It was great fun and had intriguing music, but I can hardly remember anything other than the sensation of playing the level I attempted to describe. The shadowy area at the bases of these shaded rectangles serves as a valley in which a tiny little ball travels.īased on my family's taste in open-ended computer games in the 90's (Manhole, Spelunx, Myst), I'm not even sure there was an objective other than to mess around.
I think they were green, though maybe they were multi-colored, or even of changing color and pulsating. For example in one map i think there were four rectangles filling up the back screen, and they are well-shaded 3d-looking rectangles, not cartoonlike. I remember that it consisted of vibrant backgrounds of geometric shapes, against which smaller shapes moved in the foreground. I guess if I had to pick the genre I would call it an arcade game, though this is difficult since I can't remember what the objective of the game was. So in the 90's I used to play this game on my family's computer, an Apple Macintosh.
