[dba-Tech] Game advice

Speaking of cooperative games, about a decade ago I had an idea for one,
but never did anything with it. The concept is this: you and your web-team
are firemen, and there's a building on fire. You have to rescue the people
and the pets in the building. You have to split up and try to get everyone
out. Floors collapse, firemen are pinned beneath collapsing structures, and
now you have to get them out too. There is no opponent other than the fire
and the laws of nature and engineering. You win if everyone is safe at the
end of the day.

I can see a competitive level to such a game, too. Two teams, two
buildings, a dozen or so potential victims in each. Which team rescues
everyone from its building in the quickest time?

The point is, Collaboration: it's not Me vs. You, it's US vs. the fire and
the collapsing building. It's about teamwork.
