The Miki Island Story & Narrative
Picture this! You and your team have just been rewarded with an exclusive end-of-the-year retreat to Hawaii for your exceptional teamwork. You board the plane with everything you need – sun cream, bikinis, and good vibes!
On board, you meet the world-famous adventurer, Grizz. As you soar over the breathtaking Miki Island in the Pacific Ocean, Grizz regales you with tales of her daring discoveries on the island.
Did you know “Miki” means “Quick & Nimble” in Hawaiian? You have to be lightning-fast to survive there!
Then suddenly, your plane faces technical issues. The rapid atmospheric drop knocks out everyone on board, and the plane crashes on Miki Island.
Together, you must navigate the treacherous island jungle to reach the only rescue point, or everyone dies. But time is not on your side – you have a limited number of days to reach the marine base on the other side of the island, and information is scarce!
Welcome to Miki Island!
On Miki Island, teamwork is not an option – it's the key to survival.
In this simulation, the team will experience and practice the behaviours of high-performing teams.
