Zoom

Zoom

Zoom is an intriguing wordless picture book by Istvan Banyai which consists of sequential "pictures within pictures". The Zoom narrative moves from a rooster to a ship to a city street to a desert island and outer space. Zoom has been published in 18 countries.

The pages of the book Zoom can be used for a popular, engaging group problem solving and communication exercise. The challenge is for participants to create a unified story from the series of sequential pictures.

Zoom is shipped as an intact book. To create the game, you will need to separate the pages of the book into one page sheets and laminate them or place them in clear plastic sleeves. Each person receives one page from the story, but this cannot be shown to others. Requires teamwork, communication, leadership and the ability to understand the perspective of others in order to recreate the sequence of the story.
