What people say:
Miriam O’Donoghue, a Trainer and Facilitator from Ireland, showed me photos on her phone of different groups playing the game when I caught up with her in person at a conference in New Zealand. I was so excited, I whipped out my phone and asked her about it. Watch here!
“Loved learning this awesome 'facilitation tool' with the super skilled Jacinta. She taught us why and how to run the game. It's an excellent way for a diverse group to collaborate, get into a solutions-focused zone and stay on task. Game for Solutions is going to make my workshops better, and more fun!”
Alice Woodruff, Active City, Melbourne
Sue Anderson, Resilience and Empowerment Expert, used Game for Solutions with her leaders. Hear how it worked for her in this quick video: watch here.
“This is a great activity to have in your toolbox. It uses collaboration, creativity and a fun element of competition for an immersive experience. It's also scalable, working with groups of almost any size, which makes it ideal whether you're a facilitator, trainer, meeting or project lead, consultant, or change agent. It's so important when learning how to run a new activity that it's introduced and run through well. You've got to feel confident when using it yourself afterwards. I can say Jacinta runs the Game for Solutions workshops extremely well. The structure, pace, explanations, and practical 'try it out' sections make everything very accessible and understandable. Highly recommended!”
Esther Patrick, Director of Keystone Training, United Kingdom
“I participated in Jacinta's Game for Solutions Masterclass and I found it to be an excellent tool for my toolkit, taught in a really efficient and effective way. It was a great return on my investment of both money and time, and I'm excited to facilitate the game in my future client sessions! Thanks Jacinta!”
Bonnie Tuttle, Facilitator, Coach and Consultant, Tasmania
“The ‘game’ is a very practical activity that engages people mentally, physically, and relationally, and it's flexible enough to morph for various situations. The masterclass is definitely worth the time and money and is useful in a variety of settings. Jacinta is a clear communicator and provides hands-on examples, checklists, photos, etc., so that it's fairly straightforward to do on your own after the session. I'm looking forward to when I have the opportunity to use this with my clients. Thanks, Jacinta!”
Robin Muretisch, Facilitative Insights LLC, USA

If you need quality brainstorming with that little bit extra that turns it into actionable ideas, Game for Solutions is for you!”
