A trip to this woodland Puzzle Zone provides a true teambuilding day, encouraging bonding, problem solving and communication in a hugely fun environment so that guests feel tremendously rewarded and motivated.
Overview
This answer to the Crystal Maze isn’t just the largest challenge of its kind in the country – it can easily handle up to 100 puzzling people at a time – it also has a range of unique, novel and larger-than-life challenges that you just won’t find anywhere else.
The Ultimate Puzzle Zone has a total of ten challenges, and can be tailored to suit your group’s size and objectives. Set in a three acre woodland maze where teams may hear the raucous or reflective sounds of each other’s progress, but not see it. The Ultimate Puzzle Zone challenges are multi-faceted, and always set against a deadline to really focus the mind.
Teams may be pitted against one another in a competitive way, or simply posed with the problems to see how they cope. Whichever it is there’ll be no hanging around once the fog horn sounds and the challenge begins, as the teams move directly from one challenge to the next, and everyone gets involved.
Combining a physical and mental approach in an interactive way to unlock each mystery they meet, they will need to be enterprising and full of ideas to find the solution they are looking for.
They’ll need to demonstrate their teamwork too, and show an ability to learn from their experience. If teams are going head to head they’ll get bonus points for completing a puzzle, and penalised if they don’t.
