Teamdevelopment through Social Deduction
2026-09-04 , Workshop Room - CZ 108

Discover how lies, trust, and teamwork in social deduction games translate to stronger agile teams. Hands-on gameplay with practical takeaways. This is a perfect fit for teams following the agile mindset.

After last year's success, we will continue with a more refined concept!


Discover how social deduction games can transform team dynamics by creating a structured environment for handling deception, building trust, and making decisions under pressure. We'll explore and play our own social deduction game where participants take on different roles with conflicting objectives, mirroring real workplace challenges. After gameplay, we'll analyze what has been experienced. Leave with practical insights to team dynamics to strengthen collaboration through game-based experience.

As an expert on didactics and role-based teaching methods with a long standing interest for all kinds of social deduction games, I will show the participants how the agile mindset matches naturally with the overall game-framework, fostering agency, reflection, and retrospective analysis.
