Trade Winds

About The Program

Trade Winds is a quest for treasure that combines negotiation, strategy, and teamwork.

In Trade Winds, teams become pirate crews, tasked with amassing treasure through savvy trading and strategy. Each team starts with a ‘bounty’ of goods to trade with others at port. Over four ‘years’, they engage in negotiations, aiming to accumulate the most valuable items. The game tests communication skills and strategic thinking, with teams needing to build trustful relationships and gather market intelligence. Pirate hats and eyepatches add a fun touch. At the end of each ‘year’, teams trade in certain goods for additional bounty. The crew with the most treasure at the end of the final day emerges victorious.

A strategic trading game demonstrating the power of collaboration, negotiation, and strategic planning of your team.

Trade Winds teaches your people how to communicate effectively, think strategically, and build relationship. The program raises team dynamics, encouraging members to brainstorm and strategise together for the best outcomes. Teams come out with improved collaborative skills and a deeper understanding of how to balance competition with cooperation.
