Our Chariot Challenge is an energetic, competitive team building experience in which teams construct, manoeuvre, and dismantle a human-powered ‘Ben Hur’ style chariot. Combining practical problem-solving with communication, trust, and plenty of laughter, it is a memorable choice for corporate days out where you want everyone actively involved rather than simply watching from the sidelines.

Your team will tackle three key stages: collaborative construction, manoeuvring the completed chariot around a course, and swift dismantling. Each stage tests different skills and keeps the activity moving at an exciting pace.

It makes our Chariot Challenge a fantastic corporate team activity for colleagues who enjoy hands-on challenges and friendly competition.

Your first task is to decipher how the different pieces fit together and successfully construct your human-powered chariot within the allocated time. Communication, teamwork, and problem-solving all come into play, giving everyone the opportunity to contribute ideas and work towards a shared goal.

Once construction is complete, the real racing challenge begins. Your team will guide the chariot through a demanding slalom course, with blindfolded ‘horses’ and a passenger acting as the guide. Communication, trust, and synchronisation become essential as you attempt to navigate the course successfully.

Blindfolding the participants acting as the ‘horses’ creates an entertaining communication and trust challenge. Your team cannot rely solely on what they can see, so listening to instructions and working together becomes crucial. It adds another dimension to this corporate team activity and is certain to generate plenty of memorable moments.

The challenge does not finish once you have completed the course. Your team must also dismantle the chariot efficiently, putting organisational skills, delegation, and time management to the test. It is a fast-paced finale that ensures teamwork remains important right to the end.

Our Chariot Challenge usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, making it easy to incorporate into a wider programme of corporate days out or team building days out. It delivers plenty of action within a relatively compact timeframe, whether you are planning it as a key activity or as part of a larger event.

Our Chariot Challenge is designed for groups of 12 to 36 guests. This range provides plenty of opportunities for collaboration while keeping the experience engaging and competitive. If you are arranging team building days out for a small or medium-sized team, it is an excellent way to encourage colleagues to mix, communicate, and work together.

The activity is designed to take place outdoors and is available for events in the UK. An outdoor setting gives your team the space required to construct and manoeuvre the chariots while enjoying an active experience away from the everyday workplace environment.

Communication, collaboration, problem-solving, trust, coordination, adaptability, delegation, organisation, and time management are all put into practice. Rather than discussing teamwork in theory, your colleagues experience it first-hand while working towards an immediate and entertaining objective.

Our Chariot Challenge brings together competition, teamwork, and laughter, making it an excellent addition to corporate days out. The unusual format can help colleagues engage with one another in a completely different environment, while the different stages provide plenty of opportunities for participants to play an active role.

Successful team building days out should be enjoyable while encouraging genuine interaction between colleagues. Our Chariot Challenge achieves both. Your team must share ideas, listen carefully, solve problems, and adapt quickly, but everything takes place within a light-hearted challenge designed to be great fun.

The varied nature of the challenge means there are different ways to contribute. Some participants may enjoy solving the construction puzzle, while others can bring strong communication, organisation, or coordination skills. That variety makes the experience an inclusive corporate team activity where teamwork matters more than any one individual ability.

The Chariot Challenge is a competitive event that encourages teams to work effectively while tackling the different stages against the clock. The competitive element adds excitement without losing the emphasis on communication, collaboration, and having fun together.

Communication runs through virtually every element of the experience. Your team needs to exchange ideas during construction, give and follow instructions during the slalom challenge, and coordinate responsibilities when dismantling the chariot. This makes it a particularly engaging corporate team activity for encouraging colleagues to communicate clearly.

Our Chariot Challenge offers a lively alternative to conventional team building days out, bringing colleagues together through a shared experience packed with teamwork and laughter.

If you want a corporate team activity that challenges communication, rewards collaboration, and gives your group something genuinely different to enjoy, the Chariot Challenge we host at Firebird Events is a brilliant way to bring some competitive energy to your next event.
