HOW IT WORKS
Step by step:
1. Game launch — facilitators brief participants on the rules, divide them into teams of 4–8 people and hand out expedition kit and a game entry card. Each team registers via SMS and receives access to the web app containing all tasks.
2. Exploration — teams explore the terrain mapped in the app. Across the game arena, over 20 plaques are hidden, each containing a code that unlocks the next task. The arena is divided into 5 ecology-themed zones — teams decide the order of exploration and their own strategy.
3. Solving tasks — 20 tasks locked in the app: ecology knowledge questions, logic challenges, analytical thinking exercises, manual tasks and quick research. Examples: how many thousands of litres of water are needed to produce 1 kg of beef? Rank transport methods by CO2 emissions.
4. Inter-team collaboration — some tasks cannot be completed alone. Each team has a basket of "waste materials" in their kit — they must identify what they are missing and negotiate a trade with other teams to unlock the next code. No deal, no leaves.
5. Special tasks — during the game, teams receive a message from a facilitator they must locate and complete a special task with. An additional special task is hidden in their kit from the start of the game.
6. Water filter build — the key manual challenge. Using provided recycled materials, teams build a working water filter from scratch. The pass condition: the filter must actually filter water.
7. Eco Food Blind Test — just before the finale, participants test their senses of taste and smell in a blind test of eco products and their conventional equivalents. Teams can wager their accumulated leaves for bonus points.
8. Final summary and bottle cap count — at the end, the total weight of collected bottle caps is announced and the company receives a thank-you from the Children's Hospice for supporting the charitable campaign.
WHY IT WORKS
1. Team building with a real-world impact — bottle caps for the hospice Eco Challenge is one of the few team building formats that leaves something behind beyond memories. The bottle caps collected during the game go to a Children's Hospice — which means participants finish with the feeling that their fun had genuine meaning. A powerful element for companies building a CSR culture.
2. Environmental knowledge through action, not slides Participants don't sit in a room listening to a lecture on sustainability — they build filters from waste, negotiate recycled materials and blind-test eco alternatives. Knowledge gained through experience sticks far longer than anything from a presentation.
3. Scalability and flexibility From 8 to 500 participants — Eco Challenge is one of the few scenarios that works equally well for a small team and a full corporate event. Terrain options include parks, forests and urban areas — we verify the location against the scenario requirements for every event.
WHEN TO BOOK IT
Company retreat with an outdoor programme — Eco Challenge works well as a half-day activity during a company retreat in Poland. The game takes place on terrain around the hotel, with a coordinator on site and everything on one invoice.
Team building with CSR values — for companies that want to combine integration with real environmental action. The hospice bottle cap collection and zero waste education are elements that can be communicated internally and externally. A natural fit within broader team building programmes.
Outdoor event for large groups — the scenario handles up to 500 participants, making it one of the largest scalable outdoor formats available. A strong choice for outdoor corporate events for entire organisations.
Conference or training with an integration block — three hours of outdoor activity following a content-heavy session. Works as an afternoon programme block during a corporate conference or training event.
