ONLINE MISSION

Results from Round 5

What Happened So Far

At the beginning of the first round of this email game, MISSION, we asked our players to imagine that they were starting an online training corporation and invited them to write a 32-word mission statement. In Round 2, we asked players to reduce their earlier mission statement to half its length (16 words). In Round 3, we asked players to create 8-word mission statements. In Round 4, we asked for a 4-word mission statement. In Round 5, we asked for a 2-word mission statement. (No, we won't ask you for a one-word mission statement.)

We received 14 entries for Round 5. They are listed below. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Please check our Hall of Fame to see which players submitted the top five entries, as chosen by our international panel of experts.
