Abstract

The blindfold tower of blocks game is a team-building activity designed to enhance teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. In contemporary management education, the demand for graduates possessing strong communication, teamwork, and leadership skills is higher than ever. The Blindfold Tower of Blocks Game addresses this need by offering a hands-on experiential exercise tailored for late undergraduate and postgraduate students in management education by emphasizing universal communication and leadership principles. Participants engage in a hands-on experience where blindfolded team members collaborate with their peers, relying solely on verbal instructions to construct a tower using building blocks. This engaging exercise serves as a metaphor for the challenges faced in the business world, emphasizing the importance of clear communication, trust, and adaptability. In an era where diverse teams are the norm, this exercise equips students with vital interpersonal skills essential for contemporary workplaces.
