The Panda Tower is an exclusive team-building program first designed for the Canadian Olympic Committee. It focuses on the need to plan toward both short and long-term goals.
We guarantee you have never done a team-building program like this before!
For this activity, teams are given materials to construct water towers that must eventually fill containers to a specific level. Minimizing waste while maximizing resources are the keys to this challenge that uses 100% reusable or biodegradable materials.

Put the ability in sustainability
They are an awesome group to work with! We did the Puzzle, Ramp and Panda Tower challenges and all were high energy, really fun and accomplished our goal of connecting new team members. I highly recommend this group! Lisanne Murphy, Olympian Canadian Olympic Committee

Given limited time and resources and a clear mandate to follow, teams must organize themselves efficiently to build a ramp made entirely of straws, capable of transporting a ball a minimum of five meters by the pull of gravity alone. The catch is that the ramp is made up of multiple sections built by teams who have very limited communication during the construction phase.
Participants must embrace and apply key elements of effective teams or they will fail.

Don't drop the ball
"I would like to thank you again for the activities that were offered to us. You made this first-time event a success and I am extremely grateful. I have only heard positive feedback from the participants. Everyone left content and tired! I will surely recommend your services and I hope that we will get a chance to get you back for another occasion." Madonna Costello​, Justice Canada

The Puzzle Challenge engages participants in a fun and dynamic program designed to reinforce the value of having a clear vision and set procedures within an organization.
Unlike most team-building events, this is not a competition because the final objective can only be achieved if every single team has completed its part. If one team fails… the entire group will fail.
Collaboration, communication, commitment, and strategic alignment will be instrumental components in achieving extraordinary results.

Proving the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts

Our special twist on this popular design challenge will engage your team in a fine balancing act of managing predictable human behaviours as they deal with the effects of egos, doubt, and frustration to deliver a product within a very tight timeline.
​
In addition to testing assumptions about actual goals and ensuring that they have the skills, resources and capabilities to deliver the final product on time, participants will ask themselves such questions as “Are we setting each other up for success?”, “How can we better transfer knowledge to others?”, “Why are we so quick to assume the worst?”, and “Who is managing the process?”
Managing moments of frustration, doubt and conflict is essential to achieving long-term benefits in terms of team performance.
