Strategy Game · The flagship

The Quadrant Game™

Run a struggling company for eight quarters. Feel where value leaks.

Teams of 4–12 inherit a fictional company in trouble. Each "quarter," every team allocates a limited budget of investment tokens across Revenue, People, Operations, and Customer Experience — then event cards (a tariff shock, a star manager quitting, a viral complaint) test their balance. Score is tracked on a company health meter. The winning team discovers the point of the game: the quadrants only compound together.

In the box

  • 4 company boards + shared health meter
  • 96 investment tokens (4×24) + markers
  • 72 event cards in 4 industry decks
  • Facilitator guide, debrief worksheets + bias cards

How it plays

  • 4–12 players · 90 min · teams of 2–3
  • 8 quarters, one shared event each
  • Bias reveal, then a 90-day rebalancing plan

Built for

  • Leadership offsites & retreats
  • Post-merger team alignment
  • PE portfolio leadership programs

You walk away with

  • A shared language for tradeoffs
  • Your team's real bias, exposed
  • A 90-day rebalancing action list

Supply Chain Game · New

The Flow Game™

Four tiers. One shortage. Watch panic amplify down the chain.

Our take on the legendary supply chain "bullwhip" simulation. Four players each run one tier — Store, Distributor, Warehouse, Factory — and can only see the orders coming to them, not real demand. A small demand blip triggers over-ordering, hoarding, then a glut. In 60 minutes your team feels the bullwhip effect — the reason inventory ties up cash and shortages happen with full warehouses — and learns the fix: visibility, cadence, and trust.

In the box

  • 6 board tiles + 84 inventory chips
  • 24 event + 12 Kaizen cards
  • Demand strip (3 scenarios), cost trackers & order slips
  • Rules, debrief + 45-min executive debrief guide

How it plays

  • 4–8 players · 12 weeks · 60-min Game One
  • Lowest total cost wins
  • Game Two: same demand, buy visibility; about 2½ hrs with the full debrief

Built for

  • Ops & supply chain teams
  • Manufacturers & distributors
  • S&OP kickoffs

You walk away with

  • The bullwhip effect, felt not lectured
  • Your chain's visibility gaps, named
  • An S&OP cadence starter plan

Customer Experience Game · New

Moments of Truth™

Walk your customer's journey. Find where the promise breaks.

Your team maps a real customer journey in five stages, then draws Moment cards that put them inside what actually happens at each step — the phone tree, the handoff that drops, the invoice surprise. Players respond in the moment, get scored on Trust, and Pressure cards raise the stakes. It's your own customer experience, played back at you — and the room never forgets it.

In the box

  • 5 stage tiles with Trust tracks
  • 40 Moment + 16 Pressure cards + blanks
  • Scoring rubric + Trust tokens
  • Facilitator guide, debrief + service-recovery worksheet

How it plays

  • 4–10 players · 60–75 min
  • Draw → respond → get scored, stage by stage
  • Second Chance under pressure

Built for

  • CX, service & frontline leadership
  • Healthcare, retail
  • Voice-of-customer kickoffs

You walk away with

  • Your top 3 broken moments, named
  • A repair owner for each
  • A promise-audit habit

Card Game · The $95 entry point

Pain Point Poker™

Bet on where the margin is bleeding.

52 cards, each a real operational pain point with its typical cost signature. Each executive privately picks the 5 they believe are hurting most — then hands are revealed. Where the room agrees: your priority list, self-diagnosed. Where the room splits: your misalignment, exposed in fifteen minutes instead of festering for a year.

In the box

  • 52 cards in 4 suits (Operations, Supply Chain, Customers, People)
  • Printable chips, pick slips, score pad
  • Pocket facilitator card + 20-min debrief
  • Color or ink-saver backs, Letter and A4

How it plays

  • 3–12 players + facilitator · 15-min game, 20-min debrief
  • Browse → pick 5 → reveal → score → align
  • Free one-page readout within 5 business days

Facilitation Kit

FACTOR Sprint Kit

A one-day transformation workshop, in a box.

Not a game — a working session. Five wall-size canvases walk your leadership team through our FACTOR method in one structured day: where you are, where you're going, who owns what, and how you'll know it's working. The 60 prompt cards do the facilitation for you: each canvas has 12 cards with the exact questions a Caiwood X principal would ask. FACTOR's six lenses (Focus, Alignment, Customer, Talent, Operations, Results) are applied across five phase canvases.

In the box

  • 5 printable canvases (enlarge to A1/A0)
  • 60 prompt + 3 wild cards
  • Honest Scoreboard pad + Commitment Log
  • Facilitator guide (full day, half day, remote, solo)

How it plays

  • One day, 4–10 leaders
  • Six FACTOR lenses, five phases: Discover → Empower
  • Leave with owners, dates and a 13-week scoreboard

You walk away with

  • A one-page strategy on a wall
  • Named owners and dates
  • A scoreboard you'll actually use
