The Beyond the Valley of the Kings Scenario 

In the early morning hours, an urban redevelopment group climbs into the basket of a hot-air balloon. None of them have ever been up in a balloon before, and they are excited to get an aerial view of Egypt's Valley of the Kings. Liftoff is smooth, but about an hour into the flight, the balloon suddenly lurches and plummets to the ground. After a bone-crushing landing, the basket finally comes to rest and the dazed group members find their pilot lying motionless. Stranded in the desert, the group must pull together to care for the pilot and survive the elements of the Sahara. 

Beyond the Valley of the Kings is an excellent exercise for strategic planning teams and those who must think quickly in urgent, high-stakes situations.
