Catapult Challenge

In the Catapult Challenge, teams must create two vital structures: a strong, defensible castle and a powerful, accurate catapult capable of launching water balloons with precision. Armed with limited materials such as wood, rubber bands, tape, and cardboard, teams must think on their feet, balancing the requirements of durability and offensive power. 

The challenge begins with a brainstorming session, where team members collaborate to design their castle and catapult. Once construction is complete, teams engage in an exciting competition to knock down their opponents’ castles while defending their own. It’s a test of both strategy and execution.

The messiness of water balloons adds fun and unpredictability to the challenge, as teams must also consider factors like the weight and trajectory of the balloons. The event creates a high-energy, fun-filled atmosphere where creativity, communication, and teamwork are put to the test. 

Whether it’s achieving victory through superior design or just enjoying the spectacle of flying water balloons, the Catapult Challenge – one of the most loved outdoor team building activities for employees – strengthens bonds and encourages innovative problem-solving.
