About Before Mars
Launch your team into the future with an exhilarating business simulation that challenges strategic thinking and execution skills in a race against time. In the year 2059, Earth is on the brink of collapse, and it is your mission, as a team, to establish a thriving settlement on Mars before it’s too late. Collaboration is crucial for success. Can your team align towards a unified objective in time?
In this immersive experience, you’ll collaborate as a team while navigating the complexities of competition. Each team will face the real-world challenges of breaking down silos, adapting to change and working towards a unified goal, all while being benchmarked against a global playing field.
By analysing your decisions and drawing parallels to workplace dynamics, you’ll uncover powerful insights into how your team can enhance their performance. Will teams prioritise individual gain, or will they make sacrifices for the greater good?
Key Facts
The Before Mars team building event will see your delegates divided into teams of approximately 3-8 people.
This game simulates real-world corporate challenges in environments that demand strategic thinking, long-term planning, change management, and collaboration, especially when not all facts are known.
This indoor activity requires one table per team, with each team receiving an iPad and physical game pieces to help manage resources and projects as they work toward establishing a colony on Mars.
Your team’s scores can be benchmarked against a global playing field, allowing you to see how you measure up against industry averages and colleagues around the world.
Your professional host will facilitate a comprehensive debrief at the end of the game. Detailed reports will provide insights into decision-making, collaboration, strategic planning, and performance, offering valuable lessons applicable to real-world scenarios.

What Our Clients Say
Don’t just take our word for it
“The Staff were professional, engaging and very helpful in ensuring all staff understood each activity. They were on hand to closely supervise and answer any questions. It was very easy for our group to just turn up and let Pinnacle take over. Our facilitator was great, would definitely use Pinnacle again for our next team building day. I would highly recommend them for corporate events.”
“Once again this year our staff have been raving about the Pinnacle Event Days! This year was even better than last year, which was fantastic. Thank you again to the entire Pinnacle Team!”
“Can not thank our facilitators enough, the team really enjoyed the group activity and their facilitation and communication was also high level. The activity created great communication and team building for a newly merged unit. Looking forward to organising another team build with Pinnacle in the future. I would also like to thank Xanthe who completed the administration piece for me she was very thorough and her responses were fast, also Matt who organised a meeting before hand to discuss the team breakdown into groups and asked what we wanted out of the session was again very organised and appreciated.”
