Enter the Crystal Maze: The Ultimate Team Building Activity
For those of us of a certain age, The Crystal Maze was one of the most iconic British game shows. Captivating viewers since it debuted in 1990, it was renowned for its thrilling mix of physical, mental and mystery challenges. In other words, it was the perfect team building event!
Indeed, the whole concept was based on teamwork and the need to have strategies that are the result of quick thinking.
Its most famous host was Richard O’Brien, although others went on to take the helm in later years. During the show, teams navigated through four themed zones: Futuristic, Medieval, Aztec, and Industrial (later Ocean and then Eastern in the revival), collecting crystals that bought them time in the final challenge: the Crystal Dome.
The show’s high-spirited format, problem-solving challenges, and emphasis on collaboration make it an excellent blueprint for corporate team-building activities.
Why Choose Our Crystal Maze-Style Activity?
In any workplace, success depends on good communication, adaptability, and teamwork. Our Crystal Maze Challenge ensures participants must work together to complete challenges and earn rewards.
This game is just one of the many team building activities we have at Firebird Events, with our organisers having something for all companies. Whether you’re interested in indoor or outdoor activities, you’ll be spoilt for choice when browsing our teambuilding events.
Here’s why a Crystal Maze experience is perfect for corporate team building:
- Encourages Collaboration and Communication
Every challenge requires clear communication and teamwork to complete successfully. Colleagues must listen, strategise, and rely on each other’s strengths—just like in the workplace.
Firebird Events offer a wide range of challenges, including:
- Well Balanced: Team members need to pass various weighted objects to each other without tipping the see-saw.
- Team Tower: You must work out how to re-build a tower in this test of logic.
- Toxic Waste: Your employees must work out a math formula so you can divide up the hazardous waste, safe for disposal.
- Barbecue Brainteaser: Solve the puzzle and then use the tongs provided to put it in the correct place on the barbecue.
- Stocks & Share: Once in the “stocks” you must complete the jigsaw as a team. With limited reach and movement, co-operation and communication is essential.
- Turf Wars: Teams compete in a game of strategy and sabotage to plant bigger flowers than their neighbours!
- Improve Problem-Solving and Leadership Skills
From head-scratching puzzles to physical tasks, participants face obstacles that test their decision-making and leadership abilities. Teams must assign roles, think under pressure, and execute their strategies efficiently.
- Boosts Morale for Everyone
Unlike run of the mill corporate training, our Crystal Maze Team Building Activity is incredibly dynamic and engaging. Packed with action, the game-show-style format keeps teams motivated while creating exciting memories they want to treasure forever.
- Suitable for a Wide Range of Participants
Whether you’re an analytical problem solver, love sports, or a creative thinker, there’s a challenge for everyone. This challenge ensures that all team members can contribute, making it an ideal activity for diverse corporate teams.
- Encourage Healthy Competition
A little competition keeps teams motivated. With a clear goal of collecting as many crystals as possible, participants push themselves to perform at their best—while still having fun.
