History Games for Team Building What do history games offer?
	Testing the team in a fairly pressured environment. The advantage of an informal environment like an historical crisis simulation is that 'mistakes' made here do not reflect directly on the real world - leaving the participants to reflect more impartially on their performance
	Experience of working with colleagues in a new environment. We find this often gives participants an insight into their colleagues and encourage fresh networks within the organisation through the common experience of the simulation
	The simulation can be used as the basis for further in depth psychometric analysis of team working (particularly when teams in the simulation are mapped onto real-life work teams).
	Because the whole experience is built around teams it is, by definition, a team-building experience. This happens on two levels - first, within the teams as set out in the simulation working together intensively for a day - and secondly the shared experience of the crisis simulation itself by all the participants
