INCOSE Gameshow: Zero Defect Answers
”Where perfection means being perfectly unknown.”
1700 - 1800
Hall 3 - Level 3 - Rogers Centre Ottawa
Just like Pointless, contestants try to find correct but least-known answers to questions about INCOSE and systems. In this version, a "zero defect" answer means one that:
- Is technically correct.
- Is as obscure as possible (few or zero survey respondents gave it).
- Demonstrates deep or niche knowledge of INCOSE or systems engineering.
You can participate by visiting the INCOSE Village to:
- Sign up to be a contestant
- OR
- Answer the survey questions that will be used in the game
