The structure took less than two weeks to complete and the group's task is to determine the day of the week on which the obelisk was completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo play, each participant receives 1-5 clues, which can only be shared verbally. Together, teams must figure out the day the Obelisk was completed. Success requires organization, leadership, coordination, listening, problem solving, and processing skills. Most groups require 15-25 minutes to arrive at a solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEARNING OBJECTIVES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHave clearly defined goals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollaborate!
