Lego Marble Run

IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING THE SLOWEST IN THE ROOM

NEW Teambuilding Experience

Team building is about unlocking the spark of creative energy in everyone. You don’t have to be an artist, designer, or musician to be creative. It’s in the way we think and the way we connect ideas. Our LEGO Marble Run Challenge proves that when teams play, experiment, and build together, problem-solving becomes second nature. It’s fun and engaging, and it shows that great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, even in the middle of losing your marbles.

How it works

Participants are divided into groups of 2 to 4 and they work together to build the slowest marble run they possibly can. It's the team whose marble takes the longest to reach the bottom that wins. 

​

Every team gets a large mix of Lego pieces, from wheels to ramps to all sorts of odds and ends to build their run.

​

It's about approaching challenges in a new way. It’s the perfect mix of simplicity and fun.
