Marshmallow Challenge

Know the activity

Looking for a fun and engaging way to boost teamwork and creative problem solving within your team? The Marshmallow Challenge is a lively, hands-on team building exercise that brings out the best in collaboration and innovation.

In this exciting activity, teams are given a time limit of 20 minutes to construct the tallest free-standing structure. The challenge? Each team can only use 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and a single marshmallow, which must be positioned at the very top of the structure. Sounds simple? Think again!

This seemingly straightforward task quickly transforms into a lesson in brainstorming, prototyping, and iterative problem solving. As the clock ticks down, team members must pool their collective creativity, strategize on the best design approach, and adapt when their ideas don’t go as planned. The Marshmallow Challenge isn’t just about building structures, it is about building trust, communication, and innovation within your team.

What Makes This Activity Stand Out?

Encourages open dialogue and collaboration among team members.
Highlights the importance of quick thinking and adaptability under time pressure.
Provides a tangible way to experience the iterative process of testing, failing, and improving.
Facilitates bonding through laughter, shared goals, and mutual support.

Perfect for workplace settings, corporate events, or offsite team building sessions, this challenge helps teams discover new dynamics while having a great time. it is not just an activity; it is a way to foster a culture of cooperation, resilience, and fun within your organization.

Bring the Marshmallow Challenge to your next engagement session and see creativity and collaboration soar!

      In twenty minutes, teams must build the tallest free standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top.

      Surprising lessons emerge when you compare teams’ performance. Who tends to do the worst? Why? Who tends to do the best? Why? What improves performance? What kills it?

      The training is the only way to initiate and form a team with a creative mindset. Also, it even considered to be the best way to encourage the whole team towards innovation and simulation activities. For a good marshmallow challenge, 45 minutes is enough for this indoor activity.
