As the name suggests, this teambuilding activity is all about Beating the Clock. Beat the Clock consists of over fifty different activities and challenges, with a simple concept; score as many points as possible by completing chosen challenges.
After being separated into teams and run through the simple premise of the game, the clock starts ticking. The event begins as our presenter introduces the challenge to the group and announces that they are about to attempt to Beat The Clock.
An important decision must be made at every task. Each task is split into three levels of difficulty, of which the team may only attempt one. Successful completion of the hardest challenge will see higher point scoring, but involves risk-taking. A large screen with a digital clock at the front of the room shows totals and time remaining. As the final five minutes of game play approach, the live scores disappear but the clock keeps ticking, building tension in the room. Once the clock hits zero, teams must stop whatever challenge they are attempting to complete, and the final scores will be tallied.
Beat the Clock lasts approximately 30 – 90 minutes, is suitable for between 25 and 500 people. This activity simply requires a single suitable room.
