WHAT IS PlanX?
PlanX is an indoor, high-pressure strategic planning simulation that challenges leaders to think clearly, communicate decisively, and coordinate effectively under time-compressed conditions.
Based on elite military planning frameworks, it creates intensity and realism without requiring any outdoor activity.
PlanX can be run at your venue, or we can provide a purpose-fit venue based on your location.
A FULLY STAGED OPERATIONS ROOM.
The room is set up as a functional operations centre, complete with:
-
a central operations board
-
mission assets placed around the room for discovery
-
live intelligence feeds
-
scenario injects delivered at tempo
-
time pressure displayed visually
Teams work inside this immersive environment, gathering information, building plans, and responding as the scenario evolves.
A SCENARIO THAT REACTS TO YOU.
PlanX has no fixed storyline.
While you can choose from various mission themes, the narrative shifts based on:
-
how the team communicates
-
the quality of decisions
-
clarity of planning
-
teamwork and tempo
-
how effectively the group coordinates
The facilitator provides real-time intelligence updates, consequences, and scenario changes based on the team’s behaviour — meaning each PlanX experience is unique.
Every team writes its own story because every team behaves differently.

HOW IT WORKS.
Inside the operations room, teams receive mission briefs, resource limitations, time constraints, and evolving intelligence.
They must:
-
Analyse the situation
-
Clarify mission intent
-
Build a coherent plan
-
Communicate that plan clearly
-
Execute and adapt as events shift
Facilitators observe communication patterns, decision pathways, leadership behaviours, and team dynamics — feeding insights into a structured debrief.
WHY PlanX WORKS.
PlanX creates a high-tempo but safe environment where leaders and teams can experience real pressure and see their behaviours reflected back clearly.
It reveals:
-
how individuals lead when intensity rises
-
where communication breaks down
-
who simplifies complexity vs. who adds to it
-
how teams align (or misalign) during change
-
the difference between assumed performance and actual performance
It’s a practical mirror for leadership, clarity, and teamwork.
