1. Bridging the Gap

The challenge to each team is simple – build and deliver a product to a customer. Of course, the reality is never as simple as it first appears. Bridging The Gap is challenging, frustrating, demanding and fun. It has been designed as a realistic mirror of a work project requiring a range of leadership and team behaviours.

Bridging the Gap works in a team format. Each team has to deliver the product and a marketing campaign within a given timescale. Teams must subcontract the manufacturing of the product to another team.

Each team has a different product to build but unknown to them each one is an integral part of the activity. Unless all parts are successfully delivered, the concluding multi-team build activity cannot be completed. Teams must also pitch to the “dragons” who can provide additional investment.

Number of people:16-100
Duration:2-3 hours
Logistics:Indoor or Outdoor
What we supply:Onsite facilitator. All equipment and materials required.
Pre event planning and on site management

2. Cahoots

A race against the clock, complete as many mini challenges within the time limit – physical, mental, creative – teams can choose which ones to partake in – it’s all about using the strengths in your team to gain as many points as possible. Careful strategy is required as the team has to decide which members are going to attempt to complete which challenge. CahOOTs is a great way to build team spirit with fun games and a healthy dose of friendly team competition.

Number of people:20 – 500
Duration:1.5 hours – all day
Logistics:Indoor or Outdoor
What we supply:All equipment, instructions, host, sound & lighting, loads of entertainment
