About the event
- Ever been in this position when you and your team realizes your once conceived as achievable goal is in fact way more intricate & demanding than anticipated?
- Ever been in this situation where your team’s goal completion is heavily dependable on another team’s effectiveness in their own function?
- Ever come to this point when your team’s way of doing things needs to improve radically in an impossible time frame?
Project Impossible is here to gamify the answers to all that questions!
Event details
We split bigger groups into smaller 30-36 persons groups and each small one into 3 smaller teams. Each 30 persons team represents a company with 3 business functions allocated to each of the 3 teams: Management, Marketing & Sales (Logistics too if applicable) departments.
Summit’s senior Facilitator announces the company’s overall goal: implement all three (or four) activities in 3 minutes time and explains to each team how to play their activities.
Sounds easy at first, but each team soon realizes that their respective activity, requires at least 20-30 minutes to implement, while logically thinking they ought to take that time down to at least 1 minute. This is the first time they need to adjust to reality and change the way they work, again & again till they attain their team’s goal…
But what about the company’s goal? Does the team need to adjust their time to accommodate any delays from other teams? Is that even possible in the preparation time given?
The game escalates in two sessions:
- Preparation session (90-100 min): each team works on their activity, trying to diminish implementation time
- Implementation session (20 min): each team is timed in turns on their respective activities in front of everybody else.
Intensity, anxiety & festive climate crown this final effort of the teams, proving them all that WORKING AS ONE is the cornerstone of every effective company!

November 1984 AD. The Cold War is at a turning point! Submarines from both sides of the Atlantic are in a constant lookout, chasing away the opponent subs across the oceans. New submarine crews have very little time to train. But they quickly become strong and bonded teams. Of course they have no choice, since everyone knows that direct and targeted communication is holding the sea out of the submarine!
Dive! Dive! Dive! Be silent (or don’t) and get ready for the battle!

“Into the sea they went, where Poseidon is king and Zeus's face is never shown. Into the vast liquid land they went, to pierce the veil of the unknown”.
The Argonauts traveled together for years reaching lands farther than any Greek had before them, and in the process, experiencing great dangers. But despite the dangers, temptations, and uncertainties of their journey, as true heroes, they continued on their mission.
There’s always some truth in ancient myths. The Argonauts quest might actually be the first ever amphibian expedition to unknown worlds. Some even suggest that the Argonauts reached as far as the Americas!
Innovation was always the driving force of explores, and ancient mythological heroes of Greece are no exception!
