MURA Tech major | Pre-workshop Gamified Experience
Program
Pre-workshop engagement | A 14-day experience followed by a virtual team building activityBackground
With the Pandemic still in full force, employees have been required to stay confined in their homes for more than a year now. The monotony of staying at one place and not being able to meet with friends and colleagues had created an understandable strain in most peoples’ lives. While a few in-house virtual activities were planned earlier, it did little to change the mundane situation.Objective
The objective of this 14-day pre-workshop journey was hence to:
• Break the monotony of the work from home situation
• Boost the team’s engagement
• Build team spirit and cohesiveness
Solution & Execution
The entire engagement was conceived in two parts:
1. The 14-day gamified engagement was designed to be run asynchronously through an app. This built the much needed momentum.
2. For the finale activity, a virtual escape room with multiple story lines running in parallel was proposed.
To ensure everyone got onboard, a small kick-off was executed at the start of the 14-day engagement that helped build the anticipation and excitement for the journey ahead.
Once the engagement got started, the momentum kept snowballing from Day 1. Initially hesitant to share much, the participants looked at each other as a source of inspiration and with each passing day, the votes, comments on submissions and consequent participation only increased.
There was a new challenge launched every alternate day. The challenges were curated such that it engaged the entire team with something for everyone. The challenges were curated around one basic theme – to get to know each other better.
The activity culminated with a mega event of (7 parallel storylines) virtual escape room.
With so much energy already built, the only fitting ending was with a video capturing all the fun and epic moments through this journey of 14 days plus the mega event.

10/10. 2 weeks of fun ! Loved it. Thank you to the whole team for making this virtual event memorable for us! It certainly rekindled our team spirit and bonding. And well done to all teams! Despite being Zilwa Confis in this covid period where Mcnuggets are scarce, you stayed as Cool as Panthers and completed all the challenges with distinction. Keep flying Sky High like Pegasus. May the Lightning Bringer spirit always keep you engaged ! 😉
