The Polygon Puzzle™
 The Polygon Puzzle™ is a powerful team development tool designed to teach team members to communicate effectively and to collaborate to achieve a common goal successfully. Used at any level of the organization from shop floor to boardroom, the Polygon Puzzle™ provides a powerful lesson in sharing information and listening. The puzzle can be used with small groups up to 30 participants using a single puzzle, or with hundreds of participants using multiple puzzles. 
How does the Polygon Puzzle work?
-
The Polygon Puzzle exercise takes less than an hour to complete.
-
Participants (8-30 with one puzzle) are divided into working teams to assemble a twenty-eight piece, two-dimensional puzzle.
-
Participants are given written clues from a deck of thirty clue cards.
-
The clues are evenly divided among the work teams, with no single team having sufficient information to solve the puzzle.
-
The process consists of three phases. Each phase is designed to allow participants to share information within their small team, then with the other teams, and finally to solve the puzzle as a group.
-
The solution to the puzzle becomes clear when the small teams learn that they must work together.
