The Samurai Game®: Practice Presence. Build Resilience. Respond with Clarity.


  • Two Cranes Institute 8512 20th Avenue Northeast Seattle, WA, 98115 United States (map)

Step into a world unlike your own—and see how you respond in this one.

The Samurai Game® is an immersive experiential program that reveals how people respond when certainty disappears and the stakes rise. Participants encounter their habitual patterns around leadership, collaboration, competition, communication and choice-then reflect on how those patterns affect the way they work with others.

Explore your capacity to:

  • make conscious choices rather than react automatically

  • recover and adapt when things do not go as planned

  • communicate and collaborate with greater awareness

  • stay present under pressure

  • recognize habitual patterns

Schedule:

  • Saturday, December 5, 2026: 3 - 6 pm

  • Sunday, December 6, 2026: 9:30 am - 6:30 pm
