Quote Builders consists of a handful of collaborative puzzles generated from 18 different inspirational quotes guaranteed to make you think.

QUOTE BUILDERS INCLUDES

The 48-card hexagonal deck consists of 18 quotes from icons like Golda Meir, John Steinbeck, Maya Angelou, Margaret Thatcher, Eleanor Roosevelt, Frederick Douglass, and more. These quotes serve as an "answer key" for the quote puzzle cards.

Each of the quotes on the black cards can be "built" from the words on the accompanying blue, green, and purple cards. The cards are color-coded, indicating the difficulty of figuring out the order of the words in the quote. As such, the deck includes

• 12 HARD cards (blue)
• 10 MEDIUM cards (purple)
• 8 EASY cards (green)

On each card, you'll find the following elements, working from the outside of the card, inward:

• One or two words on each of the six sides. All are in different fonts/colors, as this indicates which words will make up the famous quotation.
• 6 numbers match the color-coding of the deck (which would help any who might be color-blind)
  • 1-6 are blue
  • 7-12 are purple
  • 13-18 are green
• The inner hexagon identifies the number of cards in the set, so teams can be sure they have all the cards necessary to build a quote. (12 blue, 10 purple, 8 green).

FACILITATING THE GAME

Setup: Select a difficulty. Shuffle the cards of the same color together, then distribute them evenly among the players. Do not pass out the black answer key card.

Play: Select one of the six quotes in a set and work together with your team to arrange the cards until you discover the answer. Solutions will always match fonts and colors. If you solve a quote, select a new quote and play again. Or use the cards to build a brand new inspirational quote from scratch.

VARIATIONS

1. No visuals - Teams are likely to lay out their cards to come up with the answer. For added difficulty, ask that players keep their card(s) hidden from teammates. Explain that they are only able to speak the words on their cards, but may not show them or put them down. For further difficulty, after a group has been through the exercise a few times, tell them they can ONLY speak the word on their card, and all other communications must be non-verbal.
2. Create-a-quote - Ask teams to build their own quote with an assortment of words from the cards they're dealt.
3. Reflection - Distribute the quote "answer key" cards as an ice-breaker or reflection game.

It's perfect for professional facilitators, leaders, trainers, coaches, or anyone who uses experiential learning to bring out the best communication and collaboration from their team. With four ways to play, you'll be returning to this activity again and again.

In the Brick Masters Story Game, players choose cards containing types of people, places, props, perspective, and perils. The group's challenge is to develop a story around these cards, and build a LEGO® model to illustrate a scene in the story. After a period of wild creation and development, teams will share their stories with one another.
