Point-blank is an educational game facilitating training in fundamental communication techniques. These include: open questions; reflective questions; paraphrasing; I-Messages; the FACE Effective Feedback technique; decoding implicit statements.

Players are assigned the role of manager in different departments within the same company. The game takes the form of a monthly management meeting. In such situations participants typically debate, discuss, and present points-of-view and opinions, or remain silent. Participants are not always in control of the way they communicate. Impolite remarks, unsuitable comments, critical and hostile messages or even compliments may be exchanged, making people feel uncomfortable and detracting from the goal of the meeting

The game therefore teaches players how to deal with difficult situations in a constructive manner. It develops participants’ communication skills and provides them with a set of techniques that they can use in the real world.

• 8 Business Cards presenting all the characters appearing in the game (equipped with a score counter);
• 8 Assistant Cards describing eight communication techniques used in the game;
• 8 Indicators – helping with the assessment of each communication technique applied in the game;
• 2 Hexahedral Dice with symbols of communication techniques;
• 1 Octahedral Dice with the names of the characters appearing in the game.

If you're a HR proffessional or an internal trainer, this version of Point Blank is the perfect fit for you! The corporate license is aimed at bigger businesses and organizations.
