I picked up the phone in anticipation of the news. “Our legal team has decided to cancel our global corporate event due to the risk of an ensuing Covid-19 pandemic.”

It was the first of countless event cancellations and the beginning of a social shattering of Corporate America. Displaced workers, families in isolation, and the emotions of fear and uncertainty began to spread more rapidly than the virus itself. A new adventure was about to begin.  One that would go into new territory.  

Grand Dynamics gathered our team to do what we do best: Provide leadership in an uncertain environment.

But how would we do it?   

We asked ourselves many critical questions to direct our next action steps:

• What do we have within our control?
• What resources do we have and more importantly, how can we be resourceful?
• How can we use our experience to successfully navigate the future?
• How can we contribute and serve others in need?
• How can we lead as a positive influence amidst a state of fear and uncertainty?

We got to work. We started by getting clear on our outcomes, brainstorming and continued with intense thinking and hard work.  Next, we began experimenting with the technology platform that we use in our corporate events. 

Could we create experiences and delivered the to anyone around the world? 

We dove into development and launched our first beta test public event on April 11th.  We called it the Corona Times Virtual Adventure!

It would NOT be a computer game.  The phone or computer would give the framework for:

ACTIVE, FUN, CREATIVE EXPERIENCES at home or nearby. 

We choose to offer the beta test for FREE with a way for people to donate during the game.  

The response was astounding!

Over 1000 experiences were delivered to people from over 20 states across the USA. Families, Friends, Co-Workers, and Remote Teams all came together to have fun together. 

The comments started rolling in:

“Thank You for delivering such an amazing day!… it was so needed!”

“The most creative game I have ever played!”

“The First time in many weeks that I actually forgot about the “virus and associated problems.”

We created this video to showcase our first event.

The experience of contributing something positive was simply amazing. We decided to keep going.

So what exactly are Virtual Programs and Events?

• GDI Experiences delivered to people at any location – worldwide
• Activities that promote fun, creativity, and resourcefulness
• Experiences for families and friends in isolation
• A new way for displaced workers to connect
• The integration of Smartphone Apps, Web and Zoom Technology

 

How does it work?

• Activities are viewed in the smartphone app or web browser
• Teams complete activities via text, photo or video in the game app
• Points are awarded
• A Live Stream shows what others are completing in real-time
• The Leaderboard features points of all teams participating

We decided to keep going. More events would mean more impact. 

5 public virtual events in 3 weeks of isolation during April 2020… countless people from 30 USA states… and multiple countries worldwide… And People RAVING about it!

“Engaging and VERY different activities for the family during down-time!”

“What a COOL, shared experience!”

“AWESOME FUN!

This experience was such a gift for our family. We can’t thank you enough.

As people experienced our public events, groups of all types reached out to book private events for their schools, businesses, and communities.
