The Challenge
What makes Once Upon a Time work?
Once Upon a Time gathers a team to build a single original story together, with each person adding the next scene as the plot twists and grows. There is no script and no safety net, so colleagues have to listen closely, build on each other's ideas and keep the narrative alive. It is funny, surprising and a genuine workout for collaborative thinking.
- Co-create one story scene by scene
- Build directly on each other's ideas
- Listen and adapt to unexpected turns
- Bring the finished tale to a close
The Result
What Once Upon a Time delivers for your team
Because the story only works if everyone listens and contributes, the activity sharpens exactly the habits good teams rely on every day. Quieter colleagues find space to speak, and the group learns to make ideas better together rather than competing. People leave more attuned to one another and more comfortable thinking on their feet.
