SimuRise Impact
Since its introduction in 1993, The Search for Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine has become a global phenomenon in organizational development
What Actually Happens in The Search for the Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine?
Participants are grouped into teams and set off on a race to find and mine as much gold as they can from the Search for the Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine and return safely within the limited number of expedition days.
Each team must plan their route, manage limited resources like fuel and food, and respond to challenges along the way. The goal is clear, but how they reach it is entirely up to them.
Do they plan in isolation or align with other teams?
Do they hoard resources or share for mutual gain?
Do they stick to their plan or adapt as the game unfolds?
The simulation creates a competitive, high-pressure environment where choices reveal real team behaviours, highlighting what helps or hinders success.
By the end, what seemed like a game opens the door to deep insights, stronger collaboration, and collective performance.
