Cardboard Boat Building Challenge

Keep your boat afloat!

In this highly entertaining and engaging event, participants divide into teams and then have the opportunity to build a real boat constructed from cardboard. This boat will be built and then evaluated in a number of areas including presentation, design, USP/marketing, cohesiveness and finally, functionality.

Yes, this means that each team will be putting at least one member into the boat to compete on the water in a navigational challenge. Winning the boat race will not guarantee the overall win, but it will be a big factor (and provide a ton of laughs!)

During the course of the event, teams will have to deal with several curve balls that are not uncommon in the real world, new requirements, staff changes, etc.

At each stage teams will have the opportunity to change roles so that everyone in the group has a chance to be project lead. At the end of the building process, teams will put together a group presentation that will highlight their accomplishments and ‘sell’ their boat to the client.

Then, the actual boat race begins. You’ll be amazed at what can actually float and make it to the finish line. For those who don’t make it, it’s literally sink or swim (life jackets will be provided).

Finally, there will be an awards presentation where the coveted Cardboard Shipwright Contract will also be given to the winning team.

This is a very popular fun event – and one with take-away lessons will benefit your business for a long time into the future.

Add some energy to your next retreat. Check out this group having a blast together and cheering everyone on. This is a PERFECT event for any incentive group looking to have a great time together in a resort setting!

We can run this event anywhere, in any time frame, for any group size

Typically this activity is run outdoors at a park with a nearby body of water. Although you’d think this is a hot weather event only, recently we’ve run this fun activity in the dead of winter using a hotel’s indoor pool. You can do the “build-a-boat” portion inside a conference room, then head to the pool deck for the exciting races.

Typically we require up to 3-4 hours with your group with the actual activity lasting approximately 2-3 hours, although this is completely flexible.

And yes, like almost all our team building activities, this event is completely scalable for large groups of any size.

COLLABORATE ON A GLORIOUSLY COMPLICATED RUBE GOLDBERG CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGE

Challenge your team to create a gigantic Rube Goldberg device that completes a simple task in an intricate and elegant fashion. Complicating a process can be artful, and your team will need problem solving and communication skills to complete the Domino Effect Challenge successfully.

Using household supplies and specialty items, your group will split into teams to work on different sections of the device. Each section will have a “domino effect” on the next section, and the finished product will ultimately accomplish something simple – like revealing a banner, flipping a switch, or pressing a button to start the celebration music.

But can your team create a device that works together as well as they do?
