Knights, castles, jousting and trebuchets!

An action packed medieval themed team building event.  With knights, castles, jousting and a trebuchet siege, teams complete a multitude of medieval team building activities in the quest to be the best!

Teams complete team building challenges to earn ammunition. Challenges are medieval themed such as assembling a suit of armour whilst blindfolded, dancing around a maypole to make the right patterns, completing a puzzle whilst in the “stocks” and competing in a jousting tournament on space hoppers! The better their performance in the team games, the more bean bags they will earn to use as ammo against the other teams in the final siege!

Teams then build their castles and decipher the ye olde building instructions in order to assemble their trebuchet siege engine. To achieve the best throwing distance, they must experiment with different factors such as arm length, pivot position, counterweight and release angle. In a fun finale, teams then use their best throwing technique to annihilate their opponents’ castles in the battle of all battles!

Medieval Mayhem team building FAQs

 

What is the Medieval Mayhem team building event?

Medieval Mayhem is an action-packed outdoor team building experience inspired by the challenges, characters, and battles of medieval times. Your group will tackle a series of entertaining activities before constructing castles and trebuchets for an unforgettable final siege.

It is one of our most distinctive corporate team building events, combining teamwork, creativity, communication, and healthy competition in a lively medieval setting.

How many people can take part in Medieval Mayhem?

Medieval Mayhem is suitable for groups of 10 to 100 guests, making it a flexible option for businesses of different sizes. Whether you are organising an experience for a small department or bringing a much larger workforce together, we can create an exciting competitive atmosphere.

How are participants divided into teams?

Your group will usually be divided into teams of approximately five to eight people. These smaller teams give everyone an opportunity to get involved, contribute ideas, and play an active role in the challenges.

The format makes Medieval Mayhem particularly effective for team building events designed to encourage colleagues to communicate and collaborate.

How long does Medieval Mayhem last?

This activity normally lasts around two to three hours. This gives your team plenty of time to enjoy the medieval challenges, earn ammunition, build their siege equipment, and compete in the grand finale.

Its convenient duration also makes Medieval Mayhem easy to incorporate into a wider scheme of activities on your team building days out.

What activities will your team complete?

Your team will face a multitude of medieval-themed challenges. Activities can include assembling a suit of armour while blindfolded, dancing around a maypole to create the correct patterns, and solving a puzzle while in the stocks.

There is even a jousting tournament involving space hoppers, bringing plenty of light-hearted competition to the occasion.

How does your team earn ammunition?

Performance matters throughout the event. Your team can earn bean bags by successfully completing the medieval challenges, with better performances resulting in more ammunition for the final siege.

This gives every challenge a purpose and keeps the excitement building towards the final battle.

What happens during the trebuchet challenge?

Your team will decipher ye olde building instructions and work together to construct a trebuchet siege engine. Once assembled, you will need to experiment with factors including arm length, pivot position, counterweight, and release angle.

This hands-on challenge brings problem-solving and practical teamwork together, making it a memorable feature of our corporate team building events.

Do we get to build our own castle?

Teams construct their own castles in preparation for the final siege. Your castle becomes both your medieval stronghold and the target your opponents will be determined to destroy.

The combination of construction and competition helps make this one of our most entertaining team building events for groups looking for something different.

What happens during the final battle?

The finale is the battle of all battles. Your team will use the ammunition they earned earlier and the constructed trebuchets to attack the opposing castles.

Finding the best throwing technique could make all the difference as everyone attempts to annihilate their opponents’ fortifications and claim victory.

Is Medieval Mayhem suitable for people without sporting experience?

The focus is on participation, teamwork, problem-solving, and fun rather than serious sporting ability. With a varied selection of challenges, participants can contribute in different ways according to their strengths.

That inclusive format makes the experience a strong choice when planning team building days out for colleagues with different personalities and abilities.

Is Medieval Mayhem held indoors or outdoors?

Medieval Mayhem is an outdoor-only activity. The open-air environment provides the space needed for the castles, trebuchets, jousting, and other medieval challenges while helping to create the atmosphere of a full-scale team tournament.

Can Medieval Mayhem encourage better teamwork?

Your team will need to communicate clearly, share ideas, solve problems, and coordinate effectively throughout the experience.

These skills are naturally incorporated into the challenges rather than feeling like formal training exercises. That makes Medieval Mayhem ideal for businesses seeking corporate team building events that deliver genuine teamwork alongside plenty of entertainment.

Is the activity suitable for bringing different departments together?

Medieval Mayhem gives your colleagues a shared goal away from their normal working environment. Mixing departments into teams can encourage new conversations and give employees who do not usually work closely together the opportunity to collaborate.

For businesses planning inclusive team building days out, it is a lively way to help strengthen connections across the organisation.

Where can Medieval Mayhem take place?

Medieval Mayhem can be delivered at suitable outdoor locations, with international destinations also available. This flexibility makes the experience worth considering for company away days, conferences, incentive trips, and larger corporate gatherings.

Our team can help you explore the options for incorporating the activity into your plans.

Why choose Medieval Mayhem for your next team building day?

Medieval Mayhem offers far more than a standard away-day activity. It combines amusing challenges, hands-on construction, strategy, competition, and a spectacular siege finale in one memorable experience.

If you want team building events that your colleagues will still be talking about afterwards, the combination of blindfolded armour building, space-hopper jousting, and trebuchet warfare certainly stands out.

For organisations searching for unusual corporate team building events or energetic team building days out, Medieval Mayhem offers an entertaining opportunity to bring your people together and discover which team has what it takes to conquer the kingdom.
