Plumber's Nightmare

Challenge your delegates with a supreme test of engineering, planning, construction and most importantly teamwork. Fanastic fun and a great icebreaker.

Objectives 

The object of the game is to move marbles through all the tubes provided in the shortest time period possible. There are naturally a few rules to frustrate the teams progression making this activity surprisingly difficult and a great team activity.

The Activity

The teams are provided with limited equipment (Rope, supports, plastic tubing and marbles), the team must then use everything they are given to build an aquaduct. Teams will have up to 30 minutes to plan, build and test before our event staff time the speed of 5 marbles through the pipes....The teams then have the option of 10 minutes to change or strengthen their construction before a final time is taken.

For conference refresher sessions of up to one and a half hours why not consider Wacky Races or Haka as well? 

Locations 

The Plumbers Nightmare can be run in your main conference room or across several syndicate rooms if you prefer. As an alternative marbles can be exchanged for water and the activity can be run outdoors. This event can be run anywhere in the UK or Europe.
