Operators provide clues from large maps showing animal locations. Rangers gather equipment needed to catch and transport animals. Regardless of their roles, every player will need to actively listen, weigh different opinions and make decisions quickly. This format encourages all team members to participate. It’s great for socializing and having fun, but also allows participants to discover the talents of others as they work together in new ways.
