Intercultural Minefield
Intercultural Minefield is an educational game about the role of intercultural competence, about cultural challenges and opportunities in a global business.
This game invites players to become global start-uppers with a start-up budget of 1.000.000 eurics. As they “walk across” the intercultural “minefield”, they will make money by either being culturally agile or by just being lucky, otherwise they run a risk of being “blown up” by a “cultural mine”… Unless there is an “intercultural consultant” around! Players can earn big money, they can lose everything or even run into debt.
The learning outcome of the game is an all-round familiarity with the field of intercultural business communications, based on the ample examples of real-life cases and situations that may happen in different cultures.
Available in English, French and German, in offline and in online versions.
The Intercultural Minefield game is good to:
- let players feel how painful it is to lose time and money because of cultural blunders
- make them realize it does not require much investment to study intercultural competence
- find out that relying on just luck is not a good strategy in international business
- to be used as a selling point when you negotiate to sell your training to a corporate company (just play it with the decision maker!)
- to be used at any kind of presentations of your services
- it is still perfect to be used at an intercultural training itself!
