About the game

Gallery of Perspectives is a workshop-based game where participants face a challenge: recreate a historical stained glass window based on incomplete, dispersed information. The mechanics are simple, but they mercilessly reveal what works in teams and what falls apart when:

  • everyone has a different piece of knowledge,
  • the task requires coordination of roles and work pace,
  • time starts to matter.

The workshop has two stages. In the first, the team works in small groups and discovers "how we really work": how we share information, how we set rules, how we react to mistakes and tension. Between stages, we do a brief review and draw conclusions that you immediately test in the second part - more complex, with larger teams and stronger time pressure.

Impact on the organization: a shared language of collaboration, visible "bottlenecks" in communication, and a set of simple rules that can be implemented immediately in project work.

When is this game worth choosing?

Gallery of Perspectives works well when:

  • the team is growing and what worked in a small crew stops working
  • you have silos, "unspoken issues," and information getting stuck along the way
  • projects are delayed because of unclear roles, priorities, and decision-making processes
  • communication has a lot of noise but little precision
  • you need integration that genuinely improves collaboration, not just creates a nice atmosphere

Proactivity and taking responsibility for the shared outcome
Flexibility in roles and responding to changes during action
Cross-team collaboration (in the finale, the overall result is what counts)

Frequently asked questions

No. It's a diagnostic tool for collaboration. The metaphor lowers defensiveness, and the mechanics quickly reveal real communication patterns.

Yes - after the first stage, participants develop collaboration rules and test them in practice during the second stage.

A set of 3-7 shared collaboration rules, plus insight into what slows you down in projects.

If the main goal is tough negotiations or working on strategy in a large system, Strike Fighter or HEXgame would be a better choice.
