The Great Pen Challenge

One Pen Reinvented Through Twenty Different Skills

The Great Pen Challenge comprises a series of 20 challenges all revolving around a simple pen. The said challenges correspond to the (optimistically taken) average number of workdays in a month and aim at reinventing the same pen through a prism of different skills. The detailed instructions are given below.

This challenge is primarily designed for teams as it fosters team spirit and teamwork. The number of participants is not limited, and the expected timeframe is between 15 – 45 minutes, depending on the challenge and the time available for play.

The key benefits the Great Pen Challenge offers include enhancing specific skills, gaining insights and experience by practicing new and interesting scenarios, stepping out of the box and thinking on one’s feet, and possibly the most important – reinventing the approach towards the workplace by creating a (more) fun and enjoyable environment.

After you have completed all challenges, regroup, and share your insights. Reflect on what you have learned and repeat the process.
