If you’re looking for a relaxed, hands-on activity that encourages creativity, collaboration, and a little bit of friendly competition, Chain Reaction is a brilliant choice. This unique team challenge invites your group to construct a section of a larger chain reaction machine using a selection of materials, all while working closely with neighbouring teams to ensure a seamless connection. It’s engaging, imaginative and designed to get everyone thinking, talking and building together.
Each team is given a colour coded zone and a box of materials, including dominoes, wooden blocks, string, balls, tape and more. Using only what’s provided, teams must build a contraption that plays its part in a continuous chain reaction stretching across multiple zones.
To make it work, your section must start where the last one left off and pass the action smoothly onto the next, meaning cooperation across teams is just as important as what happens in your own area. Points are awarded for creativity, reliability and smooth handovers, with a few surprises along the way to keep things interesting.
Chain Reaction is a fantastic way to bring people together in a fun, low-pressure environment. It encourages creative thinking and cross function communication, while promoting problem solving, patience and resilience. With its relaxed pace and open ended format, it’s a great leveller, whether someone’s naturally hands-on or more of an ideas person, everyone has a part to play.

Indoor Activity
Chain Reaction is an indoor activity and can be set up in any venue with sufficient indoor space to accommodate it. The setup time is 1 hour and this activity typically runs for around 2 hours. As a standalone activity this can accommodate groups of 15 - 250. For greater numbers this could be included as part of a larger activity package.
“We used Events Made Simple for an important team building afternoon. It's a very new team with members located across Europe. Lots of laughing mixed with some serious moments. Even the most sceptical member of the team admitted at the end of the afternoon that he had enjoyed the experience! The team are now enjoying closer collaboration and ideas sharing. Thanks Ben for helping us to get to know one another better and start to develop a closer co-operation for the future.”
