Build it. Connect it. Make it roll!
Can your team turn a collection of everyday objects into one spectacular chain reaction?
In Chain Reaction, participants work in small teams to build their own section of a giant marble-run. The ultimate challenge: connect all the sections and get a marble from the starting point to the finish line without breaking the chain.
But there's a twist — teams don't receive their materials upfront. Everyone shares one central pool of building materials, so teams need to plan their ideas, make smart choices and collect the pieces they need throughout the challenge.
And it's not only about making the marble move. Each team is encouraged to give its section a unique identity. Build something inspired by your company, your industry, your team or a shared inside joke. Create a story around your construction and make your section something people will remember.
Once the individual sections are ready, every team gets the spotlight. Before the final marble run, teams present their creation, explain the idea behind it and share the biggest challenge they faced.
Then comes the moment everyone has been waiting for:
One marble. One chain. One chance to make it all the way.
