Arena Corporate
TEAM BUILDING GAMES

Team building games are a fun, positive and challenging way to create fellowship in your team.  The Corporate Arena are specialists in establishing the perfect environment for your team to bond and develop.  We have games that encourage leadership, team spirit, individuality, creativity, competitiveness, strategising, problem solving, and more.
Some of our more popular games are:
Up the Creek
Your team is up the creek without a paddle.  You must complete a series of challenges to retrieve the components you need to build a raft.  Once you have all the necessary components, you must build the raft and paddle yourselves across the creek to win.

In-tents Communication
All members of your team are blindfolded except a single, nominated communicator.  This communicator must direct the blindfolded team members to retrieve tent parts strewn over a wide area.  Once your team has all the tent parts in a nominated area, the communicator must instruct you to erect the tent blindfolded.

High Ropes/Low Ropes Courses
Your team will be competing to complete a ropes course that requires teamwork, communication, strategic planning, and overcoming nerves. The courses force you out of your comfort zone, and challenge you both physically and mentally.  Teams that encourage each other and work together closely always succeed.

Build a Bridge
Each team must work together quickly and closely to build a bridge out of basic materials.  The team that builds the strongest, self-supported bridge in a given time frame wins.

Blind Folding
Team members must attempt to fold a number of origami figures blindfolded.  The instructions will be given verbally by a communicator within the team.  The team that has folded the most accurate figures wins.

Risk/Reward
This can be a great overall theme to a day or weekend of team building.  Each team is given a $1000 dollars (Monopoly Money).  Each challenge is assigned odds depending on its level of difficulty (2:1, 3:1, etc).  At the beginning of each challenge, the teams must decide how much money to bet on their team to win.  The team with the most amount of money at the end of the day/weekend wins a reward.
A successful team will be able to recognise and utilise its individual and combined strengths and weaknesses.

Get Your Act Together
Each team is given a video camera.  They must write, direct, film, and star in their own production. The team must also present their production to the rest of the group.
Some ideas for topics include:
  • An advertising campaign to promote tourism or business to the location or venue where they are situated
  • A Sales and Marketing campaign for a nominated item, eg an apple or a pen
  • A play or short film
  • A team song
Survival of the Fittest
Teams will compete with little provisions to build fire and shelter, navigate to retrieve food and other rewards, and negotiate water.  Tasks are both physically and psychologically challenging.  Requires intense teamwork, strategising, compromise, listening skills, and leadership.

E.A.T.
Teams are allocated a number of eggs, apples and tomatoes.  Each team must throw and attempt to catch these items to gain points.  Points are awarded depending on what is thrown and where (and if) it’s caught successfully.  Teams must work together to develop the best strategy to earn the most amount of points.   A successful team will recognise its strengths (who can throw and catch) and weaknesses (who is likely to end up with egg on their face).  This game is a fun and messy icebreaker.

Chaos
Teams are asked to answer a number of questions on the venue and surrounding area.  Each question is rated as easy, moderate or difficult depending on how far you must go to answer it, or how complicated it is.  Easy questions are worth 1 point, moderate 2, and difficult 3.  At the end of a given time frame, the team with the most points wins.
The questions may involve navigation, problem solving, treasure hunting, or just plain old hard work.  Teams must work together to decide on the best strategy – answer the easy ones first or go for the big points.  A few rules apply:
  1. Teams may only work on 1 question at a time
  2. For each question their must be a leader and a retriever
  3. The leader must read the question and decide on the retriever alone
  4. Each person within a team must lead and retrieve at least once
  5. You must not use any other equipment to answer questions other than those provided (no cars, phones, etc).
Mini Olympics
Teams compete against each other in their own colours to win the ultimate prize – gold, gold, gold!  The games can be fitness based, problem solving, or just good old-fashioned fun. Some of the most popular games are dodge ball, thief, tug of war, tunnel ball, build a bridge, apple bobbing, and more.
