From a national retailer to a manufacturing site and a small production kitchen: three teams, in their own words.
National food retail

Mixed teams across every level, including contractors
Now used as an ice breaker for any team session where quality and food safety are discussed

The Pantry on Main: changing the atmosphere in production
The Pantry on Main ran a game day with its production team. The owner saw staff stay engaged and food-safety aware for the whole day.
How they used it
Staff talked about what they learned and asked to play again
Team members implemented what they learned
Colleagues held each other accountable, in a fun way
“The game changed the atmosphere in the production facility. The staff was in high spirits the entire day. They were talking about what they learned, asking when they could play again, and the entire day they were aware of food safety. They implemented what they learned and held each other accountable in a fun way.”
