The Customer experience is the next competitive battleground. You'll never have a product or price advantage again. They can be easily duplicated, but a strong customer service culture can't be copied.
Scavenger Hunt
You are about to begin a scavenger hunt with several members of this training group. The object of the game is to collect all of the items listed below as quickly as possible. You may talk with anyone in the group. You may not leave the room. You must associate each item with the person who gave it to you. You may not get more than two items from any one person. Once the facilitator has assigned groups, you may begin play. When your team is finished, your team should loudly announce the phrase “hunt over” to the rest of the group. Be prepared to say where you got each item. A prize will be awarded to the team that finishes first.

Time
Allow 10 - 12 minutes for the game. Once a team calls “hunt over,” have them review each of the items, where they got them, and from whom.
Variations
Instead of using actual items, list activities and facts as the items to find. For instance, “plays piano.” The object of the game is to find someone who plays the piano and associate the person’s name with that item.
