Initiative Exercises
Have you got what it takes to tackle one of our mind boggling physical challenges? Carefully designed to illustrate all the elements of effective teamwork through active experimentation and hands-on challenges!
Most challenges can be completed indoors and out and much of our kit has been purpose built for these unique challenges. Each exercise can help highlight and develop particular team and personal skills including, communication, co-operation, leadership and time management. But, most importantly they are all great fun.
We have listed a few of our popular initiative challenges...

Crate Stack
Who has a head for heights, unshakeable balance and no fear? The challenge is simple: stack crates to 13 high with a team member on top. The solution requires team work, bravery, balance and trust!!!
-
Levitation
One member of your team must levitate! Remember nothing is impossible. Build a freestanding structure with the three planks provided. One team member must levitate in the centre higher than the bases.
-
Rescue Raft
Use the equipment provided to build a land raft and effect a daring rescue to recover a stranded member of your team and bring them back to safety! Fall off the raft and you'll have to start again!
-
Spiders Web
Your entire team needs to pass through the spiders web. Start on the downhill side. If the web is touched the group must start again. Once half of your team are through they are safe even if the web is touched.
-
Minefield
Cross the minefield without touching the floor! Sounds simple, but fall off the planks, touch the floor or drop a plank and the entire team must start again. Think smart and ensure you carry all your planks to the end of the Minefield.
-
Fuel Rods
Defuse the radioactive fuel rods by lowering them into the safety pipes. The entire team must be on the safety bases and no-one can touch the rods. Logic, communication, delegation and team work are the only ways to avoid radiation poisoning.
-
Lego Communication
Split your team in two and take a bunker each. Replicate the Lego pattern exactly using the radios to communicate. Boards must match precisely to earn your clue.
-
Earthquake
Even the slightest movement could be deadly. Balance the platform for 10 seconds without using the back three planks or the middle three.
-
Towers of Hanoi
Restack the tyres on the far post. Bigger numbers cannot stack on smaller numbers. Only one tyre can be touched at a time. Breach the rules and start all over again.
-
Drainpipe
All you have to do is transport the ball into the hole. But you cannot touch the ball, move with the ball and the ball always has to have forwards momentum. The ultimate test in speed and collaboration!
