Starbound
An immerse, fast-pace simulation where teams step into the roles of a Starship command crew and navigate high-stakes decisions together in real time
A decision-making simulation
Step onto the bridge of a struggling starship where the stakes are high and the clock is relentless. In this immersive simulation, your team must navigate a series of escalating crises where every voice matters, but only collective action ensures survival. It’s a fast-paced test of advocacy, leadership, and the art of staying calm while the alarms are sounding.

Program details
Starbound places your team at the helm of a starship where every role carries weight and every decision matters. Each participant takes on a specialised function, bringing their own perspective and priorities to the table. As the mission progresses, information flows in, pressures build, and the crew must come together to decide what truly matters most.
At key moments, the team gathers to discuss priorities, advocate for their areas, and make critical calls that shape the outcome of the mission. Some rounds run smoothly, others spiral into urgency when communication falters or perspectives clash.
The experience is immersive and high-energy, with moments of laughter alongside meaningful reflection. Teams quickly realise that success depends on how well they listen, align, and take ownership as a unit.

Frequently Asked Questions, answered
What happens in Starbound?
Teams take specialist roles on the bridge of a Starship in trouble and work through escalating crises in real time. At each turning point the crew has to stop, argue its priorities and commit to a decision before the clock runs out.
What does it actually test?
Communication under pressure. Success depends on speaking up and sharing information, making it a powerful mirror of real workplace dynamics.
Is it technical or physical?
Neither. It runs indoors on paper-based cards, seated, so it comes down to strategizing and reasoning and how people collaborate and communicate.
Who does it suit?
Leadership teams and groups that make decisions together. It’s also one of the activities used on our Psychological Safety growth day, where the same simulation is built around structured reflection.
