Can Your Team Save the Titanic?
An immersive 3.5-hour simulation where your team makes real decisions under real pressure. No scripts. No right answers. Infinite solutions.
What It Is
It's April 14, 1912. The R.M.S. Titanic has struck an iceberg. Your team are the Senior Officers in the wheelhouse and radio room. You have minutes to make decisions that will ripple through the next 24 hours.
What's the emergency? Where are the lifeboats? Who do you trust? What do you tell the passengers? And most importantly: how do you think and act together when stakes are high and information is incomplete?
Your team discovers how to think. Not what to think. Every group faces the same scenario. No two teams choose the same path.

How It Unfolds
Briefing
You arrive in 1912. The story is set. Your role is clear. The pressure is real. Your team meets in the Titanic's wheelhouse.
Act 1: The Challenge
The iceberg has hit. Your team has incomplete information and competing priorities. You decide what to do. No one tells you.
Debrief: The Discovery
What happened? Why did your team choose that? What did you learn about how you think together? We make it explicit.
Act 2: The Application
Back to the wheelhouse. Same scenario. Different choices. Your team applies what they learned in Act 1.
Final Debrief: The Commitment
What will your team do differently on Monday? How will you carry this forward? Your team commits to one clear action.
Why Save the Titanic Works
Real stakes
The scenario is immersive. Sound, lighting, costumes, props. Your brain believes the pressure is real because it is.
No scripts
Your team makes every call. There's no right answer we're waiting for. That forces you to think, not follow.
Immediate debrief
The learning happens while it's fresh. Why did your team do that? What were you assuming? How did you decide? We connect the dots.
Direct transfer
These learnings are directly applicable. How you think together under pressure in 1912 is how you'll think together at work.
