Chain ReAction

Imagine yourself building a large scale version of the board game 'Mousetrap'! Chain ReAction demonstrates the importance of communication, negotiation, co-operation, team working and importantly the ‘knock-on’ effect of your actions.

Mimicking company life, Chain ReAction graphically illustrates the benefit of working as one team; why planning is so crucial and why goal setting keeps you focused.

Split in to three distinct phases; planning, building and the finale, each team is tasked with building a quirky contraption with moving parts. Each contraption then forms part of a larger 'reaction'.

Teams will complete tasks and puzzles along the way to win information and parts for their section of the build, however inter-team support and co-operation is essential to succeed.

The finale provides a spectacle once the machine is set in to motion. One single action triggers a whole sequence of events incorporating the different sections. As each contraption is activated, they depend on the accuracy of the other contraptions to continue the journey, providing a real sense of achievement and camaraderie.

All this is set against a whimsical, mechanical backdrop similar to the 1970s retro board game Mouse Trap.
