Lifeboat Scenario Pack

Description

The Story:

Disaster has struck, the world appears to be on fire. You are a team of researchers at a specialized hospital and you have managed to collect a group of 15 survivors. Unfortunately, your safe room only has space for your team and 8 survivors. Who will you choose to survive the apocalypse?

The Lifeboat Scenario series is a team-based experience, where a group of 5-6 participants must work together in order to see who of a list of fictional characters joins them in a lifeboat.
For this particular scenario, the Survive the Apocalypse version, participants are given a list of 15 characters, from which they must select a possible 8 characters who will be allowed to join them in a lifeboat, in this case, a bunker.

Learning & Outcomes

Teamwork – This is a very different type of team collaboration, as rather than working together on an abstract problem, participants will need to discuss with each other who has priority for saving based on value judgements and biases.

Critical decision-making – Participants decisions will be coloured by their own prejudices and they will be forced to reflect on their decision-making processes when reviewing the survivors.

Working under pressure – Deciding on who survives may be a difficult decision to make and will certainly place participants under unwelcome levels of stress. Though fictional, the stress of having to make such a decision will teach them how to deal with such pressures.
