Solve the Puzzle That Only Fits When Everyone Cooperates
The Interlocker is a hands-on puzzle challenge built so that no one can solve it alone. Teams work with interlocking pieces or components that only come together through coordination, so success depends entirely on cooperation, shared thinking and clear communication.
The design forces genuine teamwork. Individual effort quickly hits a wall, and teams have to step back, share what they are seeing, agree an approach and coordinate their moves, which surfaces both good collaboration habits and the ones that get in the way.
It is an absorbing, satisfying problem to crack, and the moment it interlocks is a shared win the whole team feels. A facilitated debrief links the experience to how the team collaborates and solves problems at work, making it productive as well as engaging.
Teams are given the interlocking puzzle and briefed on the goal and rules.
Teams try their first approaches, quickly finding that individual effort alone will not solve it.
Teams step back, share observations and coordinate their moves to make the pieces interlock.
The puzzle comes together as a shared win, followed by a debrief on collaboration and problem-solving.
