The American Old West!
Our most popular activity. The American Old West of the late 1800s. Boom time. All kinds of folk were flocking to settle there. Towns competed with one another to attract the best of them - the entrepreneurs, the hard workers, the right sort of people. No town wanted the undesirables, but they came anyway.
Organised into teams, your participants get a chance to do likewise.
Each team gets a town to run. Each town competes to be the best. Yet
some aspects of the activity require them to work together to achieve a
common goal.
It's a Real Challenge
The trick was to keep them in check and deter others from joining them.
Big stakes were on the table and the towns with the sharpest
administrations flourished and prospered.
Key decisions have to be made. How much will they tax their townsfolk? How much will they spend on key areas such as law enforcement, education and building up the town's infrastructure? Their decisions affect all towns and not just their own in this sophisticated simulation. It's a real challenge.
Getting the balance right isn't easy. Keeping it right is even harder. The better a town does, the more the undesirables target it. Our computer network facilitates the simulated development of each team's town. But that really isn't the half of it. Teams also get the chance to increase the effectiveness of their decisions through tackling a wide variety of challenging and fun activities:
