The Caiwood X Shop · Serious games for serious teams

Your team's next breakthrough comes in a box.

These are not toys. Each game is a compressed business simulation — the same lessons we teach in six-figure engagements, engineered into 60–90 minutes your leadership team plays in a conference room. You order online. It ships with everything, including a facilitator guide that assumes zero experience. A principal-led debrief is optional, never required.

The Games

Four simulations. Four blind spots, exposed.

Every preview below is a tiny playable slice of the real game. Try each one — then imagine your leadership team around the table.

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

  • Game board + health meter
  • 96 investment tokens (4 teams)
  • 72 event cards, 4 industry decks
  • Facilitator guide + debrief worksheets

How it plays

  • 4–12 players · 90 min · teams of 2–3
  • 8 rounds = 8 simulated quarters
  • Debrief maps every move to your firm

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

  • 4 tier boards + inventory chips
  • Demand card deck (3 scenarios)
  • Cost tracker pads
  • Facilitator guide + debrief map

How it plays

  • 4–8 players · 60 min · 12 rounds
  • Lowest total cost wins
  • Round two: with visibility — feel the difference

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 "reality cards" that reveal what actually happens at each step — the phone tree, the handoff that drops, the invoice surprise. Players bet on which moment is bleeding the most loyalty before the reveal. It's your own customer experience, played back at you — and the room never forgets it.

In the box

  • Journey board (5 stages)
  • 90 reality cards + blank cards for your own
  • Loyalty meter + betting chips
  • Facilitator guide + service-recovery worksheet

How it plays

  • 4–10 players · 60 min
  • Bet → reveal → repair, stage by stage
  • Round two: redesign the broken moment

Built for

  • CX, service & frontline leadership
  • Hospitality, 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 pain point cards, 4 suits (Ops, SC, CX, People)
  • Betting chips + scoring pad
  • Pocket facilitator card

How it plays

  • 3–12 players · 15-min rounds
  • Pick 5 → reveal → argue → align
  • Mail us your table's top 5 → free written readout

FACTOR Sprint Kit

A one-day transformation workshop, in a box.

The 60 prompt cards do the facilitation for you: each canvas has 12 cards with the exact questions a Caiwood X principal would ask.

In the box

  • 5 wall canvases (A0, dry-erase)

  • Honest-scoreboard pads + dots/markers
  • Step-by-step facilitator guide
