Race Around The World allows remote workers to develop soft skills in a way that applies to working remotely. As the objectives unfold throughout the game, teams must take an agile approach to their collaborative strategic thinking and planning. It has an iterative learning framework where participants are encouraged to gather information, think critically and compare their solution with that of others in the team. Under the pressure of time, teams find that communicating online is quite different from face-to-face communication. Actively listening to receive and interpret messages, watching for facial cues and communicating precisely and succinctly are keys to team success.

Learning outcomes
Race Around the World is an online team building activity that is designed specifically for remote workers. Race Around the World has three levels, each with a variety of fun, exciting challenges. Each team represents an explorer. Players communicate with their team over video conferencing collaborating to guide their team’s explorer avatar across the globe. To complete all three game levels successfully with the maximum amount of points, teams must take notice of online bulletins and assess information gleaned from the game map. Timed stages and the added pressure of managing limited resources makes for a very engaging learning platform.
