DESCRIPTION

In this experience the participants will be divided into teams and tasked with mining as much gold as possible. With limited time and resources, teams will face identical challenges that will test their planning, execution, and problem-solving skills. From navigating sandstorms and superheat to exploring the Tomb of Kings, this adventure will push teams to their limits.

But the benefits go beyond just a fun experience. Gold of the Desert Kings™ will highlight the importance of maximizing performance and constantly striving for what’s possible. It opens discussions around mindsets and a better understanding of how to be productive and efficient in achieving goals. Teams come back from the gold mountains energized, motivated, and ready to take on any challenge. Participants need to be ready for a thrilling journey of self-discovery and performance improvement, all while having a blast in the process.
