What this is
Over 2–3 hours, your team works together to navigate a live city-wide challenge. Fast-paced, unpredictable, and designed to surface what actually happens when the stakes are real.
Not a typical team-building activity
Classroom workshop
Theory without context
Generic away day
Fun without purpose
Role-play simulation
Artificial pressure, artificial results
Experiential leadership programme
Real environment. Real behaviour. Real insight.
The experience layer
At its core, the experience uses Chicken Rush — a hunt-based team game played across a real city. The chicken is the hook. The behaviour is the point.
Deadlines force prioritisation. Teams must decide fast with incomplete information — exactly as they do at work.
Routes change. Objectives shift. How teams adapt to the unexpected reveals more than any 360 review.
Multiple teams, one shared objective. The friction between coordination and autonomy is where the real insights emerge.
"Fun is the format.
Insight is the outcome."
The learning layer
The experience is built around pre-defined learning objectives — tailored to your team's goals before the day begins. Observations during play feed directly into a structured debrief.
Organisational Performance Specialists
CAPE brings deep expertise in team performance, organisational behaviour, and HR strategy. Their lens translates what happens in the field into actionable insight for leaders and HR teams.
Lauren Hardy — Performance & Resilience Expert
Lauren brings a practitioner's understanding of how individuals and teams respond to adversity, uncertainty, and high-pressure environments — and how to build lasting resilience from those moments.
How the learning integrates
Learning goals set with your L&D or HR team before the day. Tailored to current challenges — not generic.
Partners observe behaviour in real time. No self-reporting. No surveys. Actual actions under real conditions.
Facilitated reflection on what happened, what it means, and what to do with it. Optionally extended with partner workshops.
What you actually learn
These are the kinds of takeaways teams leave with. Specific, actionable, and grounded in observed behaviour — not self-assessment.
Which team members default to caution and which drive risk? How does that dynamic play out when the stakes change? This surfaces quickly in a live environment.
Who steps up when there's no defined structure? Often it's not the most senior person in the room — and that's valuable information.
High-energy environments tend to reward loud voices. This programme is designed to surface the quieter contributors — and show teams what they're missing.
Time-compressed decisions reveal cognitive patterns that rarely show up in normal work contexts. These observations translate directly to how teams perform in critical moments.
Where do people default to solo execution? Where does genuine collaboration emerge? The gap between the two is often where performance improvements live.
When information flow breaks down — who notices first? Who tries to fix it? How the team handles communication failure is often more revealing than how it handles success.
Measurable outcomes
This programme is designed to map directly to the outcomes your organisation already measures. We speak the same language as the teams holding the budget.
Stronger cross-team connection
Shared high-stakes experience builds trust that persists after the day
Improved communication under pressure
Teams leave with a shared language for how they communicate when it matters
Better understanding of team dynamics
Leadership and HR gain observable data — not another self-assessment report
Increased confidence in decision-making
Having made high-pressure decisions together, teams perform better in subsequent situations
Supports wellbeing, engagement and performance
Links to employee engagement, retention, and manager effectiveness frameworks
How it runs
Learning objectives shared with the team. Context set. Stakes made clear.
Before the experience begins, your L&D lead and our partners align on what you want to observe. The team knows this is structured — not just a day out.
2–3 hours. City-wide. Real pressure.
Teams navigate challenges across the city. Partners observe. Behaviour is noted — who steps up, who shuts down, where the cracks show, where the strengths emerge.
Key insights. Facilitated reflection. Actionable takeaways.
The debrief turns observed behaviour into conversation. Teams see themselves clearly — often for the first time. Partners facilitate without judgement.
Go deeper with partner-led follow-on sessions.
Bespoke workshops from CAPE or Lauren Hardy can extend the programme — building on what emerged during the experience with targeted development work.
Who it's for
Understand your leadership dynamic away from the boardroom. See who you really are under pressure.
Break down silos in a context where collaboration is required — not just encouraged from a slide deck.
Accelerate team formation in new joiners. Surface future leaders early. Build resilience from day one.
For organisations investing in development, wellbeing, and building the kind of culture that retains people.
