Overview
The ‘Quest for the Best’ will involve all your guests in an interesting and exciting Team Building Event. Based on skill and speed it’s great fun to win but just as much fun to participate in.
Scoring is devised so that the competitive can compete whilst those who simply wish to enjoy the day can do so. Our style is relaxed with the emphasis on fun.
We will ensure that each of your guests enjoy themselves and whilst being encouraged to ‘have a go’ no one should feel under any pressure to take part.

The Challenges
Chinese Crackers
The pyramid can be quickly dismantled for relocation but unfortunately moving the building blocks is not so simple. To re-assemble the pyramid in its new location requires considerable co-ordination and teamwork, naturally under pressure as the clock ticks on.
The Egg
Lateral thinking, initiative and an open mind combined with good team organisation are necessary to rescue a fragile egg without being caught in the protected area!
River Crossing
Use the equipment provided to transport your team and its load from one side of the river to the other - but without getting your feet wet!
Rocket
Design and fire a rocket, which will fly further than the opposition's with some 120 feet of flight necessary to achieve victory. A stylish rocket could gain bonus points – vital in this competition!
Jigsaw
Our giant Jigsaw has just sixteen pieces but makes assembling an MFI wardrobe look easy. Each piece could fit in 64 possible positions; your team must fit every piece correctly against the clock.
Rollercoaster
Balancing skills, teamwork and the track laying skills of British Rail are required for success.
Construction Chaos
A race against time to devise and construct a safe platform before the team prematurely comes to a sticky end.
The Catapult
With the materials provided devise a machine that will project your missile. Points will be scored according to the distance thrown with the winning team projecting their missile the furthest.
The Trivia Challenge
A selection of twenty-five perplexing and infuriating trivia questions to take your guest's minds off the other mind-bending activities we will provide. Agreeing the answers can be the ultimate test of a good team!
A Winner’s Medal is provided for each member of the Winning Team.
