Description
Beat the Clock: Tabletop puzzles against the clock
Beat the Clock is a one-hour team challenge built around a tabletop pack of puzzles, construction tasks, trivia and group activities. Teams divide the tasks and coordinate their efforts to finish before their competitors.
How does The Beat the Clock Challenge work?
First, we split your group into teams and explain the challenge. For example, each team receives a tabletop pack with physical and mental tasks. Then, the clock starts ticking.
To succeed, teammates must decide who tackles each task and how to share their time. For instance, some people can build while others solve puzzles or answer trivia. Meanwhile, the group must track progress and help where needed. Ultimately, the first team to finish wins the race against the clock.
