Our outdoor mental challenges involve teams working together to solve mysteries. The challenges are not physically taxing and are suitable for anyone of any age, level or ability.

We will work with you to design a programme that will help you achieve your training objectives, but here is a taster of some of the mental challenges we have available:

Crossover

Your team is divided into two groups, each positioned in one of two widely separated gravelled areas. The objective of the activity is for the groups to swap places, passing through a suspended elastic rectangle as they do so.

Minutes to Zero

A bomb stands on a mined area within a no-go area. To be successful, your team must be the first to defuse the bomb and then retrieve it.

The Moonstone

The Moonstone stands guarded on a crescent. The team is split into two groups and to successfully recover the moonstone, they must work together.

Cascade

Your team need to ring the gong by releasing the pendulum. A series of taps need to be explored to direct the water to the stand pipe in order for the water to be channelled to turn the water wheel.

Japanese Water Garden

A bell is located at the top of a high bamboo pole. The team must trigger a mechanism that will ring the bell, using only water power from one of ten sunken taps.

Electric Fence

Get all your team members across an electric fence, using only the resources provided.

Labyrinth

A crystal ball must be transported to its final destination. To do so requires resources that are inaccessible to the team at the start of the activity. Teams must understand the system and coordinate tasks to resolve the challenge.

The Well

A vessel containing liquid is located in a safe area and guarded by an electric fence. The team’s task is to transport this vessel to another area using limited resources.

Doctor Doolittle

This task is a more challenging, extended version of ‘Electric Fence’. The team, separated in two, must solve an additional puzzle.

Our crime and investigative team building challenges involve teams working together to solve crimes, and drawing upon each others strengths in order to do so.

These challenges vary in length and complexity, depending on your brief and budget:

The Cold Case of Eustace St John

You are the best cold case team in the country. You have been called in because the remains of a man have been discovered in the grounds of a country house. The remains are that of Eustace St John, a young socialite who went missing 3 years ago. You have three hours.

Minutes to Zero

A bomb stands on a mined area within a no-go area. To be successful, your team must be the first to defuse the bomb and then retrieve it.

War Games

The year is 1942 and a country house has been sequestered by the MOD as a secret base from which to co-ordinate a defensive campaign against a Nazi offensive.

Your team must respond to intelligence continually streaming into the base whilst managing the entire land, sea and air defences of the UK.

Our ‘Great Outdoors’ challenges involve teams working together taking on mental and physical challenges, often battling the elements at the same time.

Activities are available for half-day, full day and overnight challenges. Whatever you’re looking to achieve or get out of your team building, we can help find the right one for you. Here’s a few examples of some of the outdoor events we have available:

The ‘Intents’ Camping Challenge

Your challenge is to find a campsite from a designated area, pitch your tent and survive the night! We’ll provide you with everything you need to set up camp. The rest is up to you.

Clay Pigeon Shooting

We take an individual country pursuit and make it all about team spirit. With this activity, you’ll work together to see who has the best eye, the steadiest hand and who’s the best listener.

Earth Oven

Your challenge is to build an earth oven from scratch and then cook in it. All in a day’s work for the Flintstone teams!

Our ‘Entrepreneurial and Financial’ team building challenges put participants in pseudo business like situations and are designed especially to help improve communication, inspire creativity and break down barriers.

Here is a taster of some of the entrepreneurial and business challenges we have available:

The Apprentice

Your team will be split into two to compete against each other undertaking different business challenges. With a broad range of skills required to succeed, anyone is at risk of being fired along the way by the Teamscapes big boss and his board members.

The Block Exchange

Block Exchange examines the conflict that can arise between personal objectives and those of the group, by simulating a shareholder scenario. Teams that realise that personal and team goals are aligned will succeed; those that don’t will struggle.

Trade Off

Working in teams, participants need to buy and sell to their competitors. The challenge is to complete deals while managing potentially conflicting interests within their own team.

Our Competitive team building activities involve teams working with and against each other and the clock. Varying from treasure hunts to sports days, these activities are as fun as they are challenging. The challenges are not physically taxing and are suitable for anyone of any age, level or ability.

Our competitive team building events we have available include:

Treasure Hunt: Secret of the Camellias

A precious box is locked away in an underground chamber. By solving riddles depicted on a ceramic tableau, the team can discover it.

Treasure Hunt: The Sword in the Stone

A sword is held in a stone, sealed with 12 spells and a rod. The team must search the grounds for clues to release it.

Treasure Hunt: The Sundial

A chamber hidden in the grounds, contains a goblet. A Sundial holds all the clues that will lead the teams to brass plaques around the grounds, eventually revealing the chamber’s location.

School Sports Day

Compete with your team in traditional sports day style with races including: sack, egg and spoon, tug of war, three-legged, welly wanging, relay, space hoppers and popping balloons. Sounds familiar, but with Teamscapes there is always a twist…
