  • Can this team game be adapted for me as an indivual? 'Who Killed Creativity?' (WKC-board)?

    ANSWER: YES There are 7 detective roles around the board. For the individual version, you will take on the role of all 7 suspect profile groups, one at a time. Follow the instructions and flow.

  • Can an individual use the 'Who Killed Creativity?' WKC-board?

    ANSWER: Yes! The board is primarily set up for teams to play, however, it can easily be used by individuals. Some of the instructions pertaining to teams may not be relevant. Example - for a team of 7 they will each write their names in the detective spots. As an individual, you will play all 7 detectives roles, so no need to write your name in the 7 detective spaces. Individuals can walk through the board ideas and concepts independently, with the recommended option to combine the experience with the other learning modules as part of the full bundle self-paced online courses. (Pre-course, Learning Journey, and the book).

  • Is this a competitive game like Monopoly, Risk, or Clue?

    ANSWER: Although the ‘Who Killed Creativity?' board exercise may have a similar theme to a CSI, whodunit, murder mystery or a game, like Clue (Cluedo), ours is not designed as a competitive contest with winners and losers. The focus is on using a gameboard layout with some gamification elements connected to an integrated memorable theme, which enables productive thoughts in a safe space. This approach will help an individual to self-pace and explore, diagnose and consider fictional ‘creativity killer’ characters to help identify what can block creative thinking and how it can be possible to get it back. The aim of the exercise is to use this metaphor to explore psychological, cultural and environmental blocks to creative thinking, and to devise personal action plans to deal with these.
