Host guide: Set 2-8 teams, share the room code, start the briefing, advance individual ranking, team consensus, expert reveal, results, and debrief.
Objective: Survive after a lunar crash by improving from individual judgement to team consensus.
Setup: Join with the room code from your facilitator and wait for your team assignment.
How to play: Rank 15 survival items alone first, then build a team ranking before comparing against the NASA expert answer.
Your role: Explain your reasoning, listen for expertise, and help the team improve its final ranking.
End condition: Debrief whether the team outperformed individuals and what helped or hurt consensus quality.
Your spacecraft has crash-landed on the sunlit side of the moon, 200 km from the nearest lunar base. The mothership is undamaged but can only pick you up at the base. You must travel on foot.
Fifteen items survived the crash. Your task: rank them from 1 (most important) to 15 (least important) for your 200 km trek to the lunar base.
Phase 1: Each person ranks independently (7 min). Phase 2: Your team agrees on a consensus ranking (10 min). Then we compare to the NASA expert answer — and discover whether teams outperform individuals.
1 = most important for survival, 15 = least important. Each rank must be unique (1–15).
Update any item. Last write wins. When your team agrees, submit.
Deviation = |your rank - NASA rank|. Green = 0–2 off. Yellow = 3–5 off. Red = 6+ off.
You made it back to lunar base. Great teamwork out there.
