New Extension
Book of Secrets®: Operation Midas
Fostering Trust
"Trust is the ultimate leadership currency, yet remarkably difficult to practice without real-world risk."
Designed for the evolving 2026 business landscape where the human element is paramount, this new extension immerses managers in high-stakes environments to:
Descent into the Unknown
The mission begins by uncovering hidden pathways within the Spy Lab, leading down to a clandestine underground headquarters.
Surrounded by vintage intelligence and cryptic maps, managers must demonstrate keen observation. By solving environmental puzzles and aligning fragmented pieces of intelligence, teams unlock the next chapter of the operation, establishing the foundation of their strategic mindset.
Operation "Midas": Testing Composure
Taking on the role of Agent "Tricycle," participants step into the lavish Casino Estoril in Portugal. The goal? To convince the Abwehr that you are capable of building and financing a massive spy network.
Monitored closely by undercover operatives, managers must navigate a volatile encounter with a hostile adversary at the roulette table. How you handle the confrontation—whether through direct assertion, calculated indirect moves, or high-risk emotional plays—determines your credibility. Every choice builds trust or destroys the mission.
The Art of High-Stakes Deception
To proceed, participants must decode the environment by finding a series of hidden symbols and messages. This unlocks the final, most critical confrontation: a tense briefing with the leading intelligence officer.
The officer suspects the upcoming Allied invasion will happen at Normandy. Participants have one chance to leverage the trust they've built to manipulate strategic intelligence, redirecting attention toward Pas de Calais.
Will you present meticulously faked reports, use psychological manipulation, or sacrifice minor true intelligence to sell the larger lie? The fate of the operation rests on your leadership intuition.
