Links

The team’s task is to use a section of pipe provided to each team member to move a number of balls from the starting position to a container at the end. The pipes provided are different in length and width and the team has to co-ordinate its actions to move as many balls as possible in the time allocated. This event has great pace to it and really develops the team spirit in an energising environment.

Human Pin ball

The team is provided with a giant board and a ball. They need to communicate clearly and work together to navigate the ball through wooden panels into the centre point of the board. Team co-ordination is essential on this one.

Pyramid Challenge

This program forces the team to draw on all resources to solve the Egyptian master’s task of moving the Pyramid. While the task seems simple at first it soon becomes apparent that everything is not as simple as it seems.

Problem solving and decision making are the main obstacles to the team achieving success. The team need to focus on issues such as sharing of information, forward planning, and implementing an agreed plan.

Players must bowl in an underarm action standing behind the bowling line on each attempt. The aim of the game is to knock down the standing wooden skittles by rolling the ball over them.

It is a real challenge of concentration, speed and marksmanship.
