Our Rocket Science team-building challenge isn't JUST about the launch ... 🚀
.. although it's definitely an exciting finale!

For the first part of this activity, together with your team you'll need to assemble your rocket to ensure it holds up under pressure and goes the distance in streamlined style. Pictured is the wonderful team from Barnston Buddies, innovating and creating in the beautiful grounds of Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa.

Next, you'll head over to the launchpad to make some crucial decisions.

❓ Will you play it safe with a lower pressure, aiming for a controlled flight?
❓ Or will you dare to take the risk, cranking up the pressure to the max in pursuit of a greater distance?

Finally, it will be time to countdown (and hold your breathe) to find out which team's rocket comes out on top!

Think this activity would appeal to your team? Visit our website www.eventsmadesimple.co.uk to find out more.

Throwing back to a fantastic event at Tatton Park last year, with this team from Energus taking on The Octopus 🐙

For this challenge, which is part of a wider group of games known as 'Coalition', you'll begin by positioning your team around our Octopus.

When the pin is pulled the Octopus will start to rotate and spit ping pong balls out at random. Working together to cover all the exits will be key, because you'll be judged on how many you can catch before they hit the floor!

Think you've got what it takes to beat the Octopus? Drop me a message to book this team-building activity for your next corporate event 📩

Are you looking for an incredible test of creativity, competitiveness, and teamwork? 🎨🏆🤝🏽

Our remote controlled car challenge, Design and Drive Derby, can deliver on all three!

For the first part of this activity, your team will be tasked with designing, assembling and decorating their racing car. Next, you'll take to the track! Ideal for venues with a little bit of outdoor space, you'll start with a few practice runs before it's on to the main race - a 20-minute endurance test. This stage requires the whole team to work together as they take turns to complete as many laps as possible, right the car if it flips or leaves the track, and perform battery changes during the pit stop.

Tired of the same old team-building sessions and craving something a little different for your team? 🥱

You need ... THE CRYPTEX 🔐🗺️🔎

To retrieve the cryptex you'll have to work together, following a trail of clues and locating objects, before completing a series of challenges. After that, you'll need to decipher the code and spell out the password using the dials of the cryptex. Once lined up correctly they unlock the cylinder revealing the location of a hidden cache of prizes somewhere within the venue. Race against your colleagues to be the first to reach the secret location and claim the prices 🏃
