Interpret is a lively, challenging team exercise which explores team communication, the management of information and the planning and implementation of a strategy.

The element of competition raises the group energy levels and contributes to a sense of being a 'team'. Participation is 100% from every team member. Interpret is an ideal exercise to highlight the importance of effective communication, problem-solving, organization and leadership within a team environment.
