Interpret is a lively, challenging team exercise which explores team communication, the management of information and the planning and implementation of a strategy.

The element of competing against the clock or another group raises energy levels and contributes to a sense of being a 'team'. Participation is 100% from every team member. It has to be if they are to be successful.
