A fast-growing organization wanted a team experience that would go beyond fun and deliver deep learning, high energy, and cross-team connection.

With many new members and multiple teams working in silos, leadership wanted to strengthen:

• Collaboration across functions
• Strategic decision-making under pressure
• Negotiation and influence skills
• Trust, communication, and alignment
• A culture of agility and teamwork

The challenge was clear:
Create an experiential activity that brings people together, sparks interaction, demands strategy, and builds leadership skills — all while keeping the energy, suspense, and engagement extremely high.

We designed Royal Durbar: Quest for Prosperity, a fully immersive leadership simulation inspired by four ancient kingdoms competing for survival and prosperity.

Immersive Storytelling

Participants step into roles as:

• Rulers
• Advisors
• Generals
• Ministers
• Royal Treasurers

Each team receives royal props, scrolls, crests, coins, and resources — transforming the room into a living kingdom.

Six High-Stakes Scenarios

Teams navigate famine, gold mine discoveries, bandit attacks, merchant negotiations, plagues, and a final grand durbar.
Each scenario demands quick decision-making, resource management, and internal alignment.

Negotiation at the Core

Royal Durbar is built around heavy inter-team negotiation:

• Alliances
• Trade deals
• Secret pacts
• Attacks and defenses
• Strategic betrayals

Teams learn to collaborate when needed and compete when necessary.

Twists, Challenges & Suspense

Special elements like:

• Baba Golmaal’s prophecies
• Merchant riddles
• Royal parades

keep teams energized, alert, and thinking creatively throughout the experience.

Learning In Action

The activity seamlessly integrates business-relevant themes:

• Decision-making under uncertainty
• Cross-team communication
• Resource allocation
• Trust-building
• Team alignment and influence
• Leadership agility

Royal Durbar brings these lessons alive in a dynamic, gamified format.

• High Engagement: Every participant is actively involved — negotiating, planning, defending, trading, and strategizing.
• Powerful Collaboration: Teams build strong relationships while navigating shared challenges.
• Leadership Mindset: Participants experience what it means to align quickly, communicate clearly, and make decisions with limited information.
• Energy & Excitement: The props, roles, suspense, and surprises create an unforgettable atmosphere filled with laughter, intensity, and drama.
• Behavioral Insights: Teams reflect on their choices, patterns, and leadership styles throughout the simulation.
• Shared Achievement: The coronation moment crowns the “Supreme Kingdom,” giving teams a sense of pride, celebration, and accomplishment.
  
  

  Royal Durbar becomes more than an activity — it becomes a living experience of strategy, collaboration, and leadership, delivered in an exciting, cinematic format participants remember long after the day ends.
