Problem solving and negotiation
Get ready to put your strategic minds and tactical negotiation skills to the test in this thrilling, brain boggling race to crack the Enigma!
In this activity, teams are tasked with a series of problem solving challenges, all of which are designed to encourage individuals to have an equal opportunity to shine.
To progress towards cracking the Enigma, teams must not only solve these puzzles but also strategically negotiate with other teams to exchange crucial task sheets in order to win.
Enigma’s primary focuses are negotiation, problem solving and identifying players’ individual skills in order to delegate specific tasks accordingly. This activity is ideally suited for conferences, away days and team socials.

how it works
Teams are first provided with a limited amount of task sheets which contain various puzzles and logic challenges. Once successfully completed, teams will then need to negotiate with other teams to exchange their solved task sheets.
These negotiations are not as simple as some may think, each puzzle has varying points allocated to them, so it’s up to the teams to use their best persuasion tactics to retrieve the highest scoring task sheets.
Each correct solution earns points, but the maximum reward is only available for first-time solvers. Upon completion of these puzzles, a letter will be provided, these letters are what is needed to crack the Enigma!
This creates a buzzing atmosphere and energy in the room and is a perfect addition to your conference or away day!
