Wall Street Winners
Welcome to the ultimate trading game! Do you think you and your team will have what it takes to build the biggest and best corporate tower?!
Carefully designed to test the most relevant business skills in you and your colleagues, Wall Street Winners will have even the quietest members of your team frantically racing round negotiating deals, deducing a strategy and trying to forecast what the next market trend will be.
The basic aim of this event is for your team to buy and sell company asset packages at the most opportune moments in order to reap the highest financial profit possible. You will be then be able to purchase materials with which to construct a corporate tower; the highest of which will be crowned victorious! There are however many tricks and blunders to keep everyone on their toes throughout the event, just as in the real commercial world, and no tower is safe until the final bell tolls!
The Challenge
Think Fast!
To
get your team started financially, you will be given 2 minutes to name
your corporate tower project, which if given to Ivan the Building
Inspector within the time limit will earn you £5,000 for future
investment. However, if your team drag their feet and cannot reach a
decision, they only receive a meagre £3,000!
Trading Sessions
Your
team’s financial success lies entirely within their skills of
interpreting and forecasting the main trading screen, which shows the
share values of five companies from five main industries, such as
transport, technology and oil. Values for each will remain static for
15 minutes, in which time your team can buy and sell asset packages
from each company and purchase materials with which to construct their
corporate tower.
The Trading Floor
The
trading floor consists of three components and only certain people
within your team may approach any one. The delegation of each role is
left entirely to your decision.
Selling Desk: Only
“The Buyer” in your team, who is identifiable by his/her “Bling”, can
approach this desk where company assets are represented and purchasable
as poker chips. Each company is denoted as a different colour and each
colour is marked as a marketing, product or logistic asset of that
company. Assets are sold here separately or as a three, whichever your
buyer interprets to be the better deal.
Buying Desk:
The buying desk allows “The Seller” in your team, who is marked by the
carrying of “The Silver Mobile Phone”, to sell complete asset packages
consisting of marketing, product and logistic chips of any company, in
order to make a profit for your team.
Materials Desk:
Negotiating skills are key to beating the tough traders at this counter
so choose your “Hagglers” wisely! This is the only place where you will
be able to purchase building materials with which to construct your
corporate tower so if you want a good deal you’re going to have to get
the sellers on your side!
The Trading Screen
Although
share values for each company remain static for 15 minutes, regular
newsflashes mean your investments are subject to plummeting or soaring
as the next screen appears. How will your ventures in the transport
industry be affected by a big player in the sector going bankrupt? What
is going to happen to the technology industry now major upcoming plans
for new satellites have been unveiled? It’s up to you and your team to
interpret and forecast these changes in order to make the most profit
you can, so allocate your “Chief Financier” wisely!
Building Regulations
The
budding architect in your team by no means has an easy ride in this
event. A solid strategy is required if your corporate tower is to win
the day, and Ivan the Building Inspector is not an easy man to please!
Amongst other regulations, all corporate towers must have their
foundations on the supplied project grid and must support an inflated
balloon which will be measured as your tower’s highest point. Certain
building industry regulations also apply, the purchase of Building
Certificate being one of them. Of course, your team could always save
their money by skimping on these items, though a hefty fine is
enforceable on any team found to be without one!
Wildcards
At
the end of each trading session, a wildcard will be drawn and enforced
upon a randomly selected team. Examples of these include surprise
inspections, new regulations or maybe, if you’re lucky, a cash bonus!
Penalties and rewards are appointed in the 3 minute gap between trading
sessions to give your team a moment to recover before the next mad
rush!
The Winners
At the end of the day, all team’s corporate towers will be measured from their project grid to their supported balloon to ascertain whose is the tallest achievement. In the event of a tie, the team with the most remaining capital will be crowned victorious!
