Catapult Challenge

Know the activity

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.

Ideal For: Engineering minds, competitive spirits, and creative thinkers

Objective

Promotes Teamwork and Communication: Collaborating on designs fosters communication and unity.
Encourage creativity: Teams must think outside the box to develop unique structures and catapults.
Instill friendly competition: The competitive element of attacking each other's castles adds excitement.

Once the construction phase is complete, the competition begins! Teams will use life-sized catapults to launch water balloons at their opponents’ castles. The winner will be determined by evaluating both the most innovative catapult design and the strongest castle structure. This ensures that teams not only focus on building but also on strategizing how to protect their creation while attacking others.

What Makes This Activity Stand Out?

Team Bonding: Participants share laughs and support each other throughout the challenge.
Hands-On Learning: The activity provides a practical way to experience concepts of engineering and design.
Adaptability Under Pressure: Teams must think quickly and adapt their strategies as the competition unfolds.

Perfect for workplace settings, corporate team building events, or off-site team building sessions, this challenge helps teams discover new dynamics while having a blast. 

Bring this exciting challenge to your next engagement session and witness creativity and collaboration soar!

      In this challenge each team has to design and create a castle that can withstand bombarding. Few members of the team will design a catapult that will be required to wreck the castle of the opposite team.

      Designing a robust and strong castle is the main objective of each team along with building a strong and powerful catapult for destroying the castle of the other team in this event. Initially, each team will be given 45 to 60 minutes duration to built the needs.

      Once all the teams are ready for the challenge we begin this event with the help of life-sized catapult to attack the castle created by the opposite team using water balloons. Finally, a team with the most creative catapult and strong castle wins the game.
