We have over 50 different tasks you can choose between. But here are some of the favourites:
Merchants & servants
Try to get across the river to the other side with only a two man boat. Merchants must not be out numbered by the servants, 6 in the group, three merchants and three servants.
Electric fence or prison break
Try to get out of the enclosure without alerting the guards or electrocuting yourself!
Spiders web
Working through the woods the only way forward is to go through the giant spider’s web. Each group member has to pass through a different hole can the whole group get through without waking up the spider?
Bridge building
The group must build a structure to cross a ravine using basic equipment. The bridge must be assembled and retrieved after use to be used again. Nobody must fall into the water at any point.
Egg drop
Who can catch an egg from the highest height using the kit provided? This is an indoor session suitable for a bad weather day. We use one of our lounges in the main lodge for this. Great fun and a bit messy!
Quiz night
Test your knowledge of what you have learnt so far; quizzes for summer and winter. They are all about the area you are visiting, the sports you are doing, the people you are meeting and a few random questions just to catch you out.
