Team Building Puzzle Challenge

EVENT OVERVIEW

A unique team building event experience was custom designed for The Coaches Training Institute’s Global Summit. On opening day, all 400 guests were given one small puzzle piece to fit together in to one very large upright, used as the branded focal point and backdrop for the Conference.

PUZZLE DESIGN + COORDINATION

Hunter Events designed, produced and coordinated a unique team building event as the kick-off to this Summit: a giant 7’ high and 20’ long puzzle – assembled by the attendees.

The hundreds of logistics, including the artwork, printing, materials, design, coordination, music, lighting etc. were all produced by Hunter Events.

A large 20’ wide by 12’ high plain white stage upright was built and placed behind the stage.  As guests walked in to the room, the backdrop was lit in different shades of color and looked ‘natural’ as guests entered the room for the first time.  Little did they know that this upright would house the backdrop for the Summit – which all 400 guests would ultimately build together.

The finished puzzle containing 504 pieces.  Participants were spilt in to groups.  Each group had to find each other in the ballroom by means of a color code placed on the backs of their name tags. 

Once groups found each other and were assembled, each group had to put the square puzzle pieces together.  Once the square was complete, the group rushed the square to the stage area, where it was placed in it’s appropriate location on the custom backdrop.   The finished piece ultimately became the colorful and branding backdrop for the three-day Summit.  The finished piece was 7’ high and 20’ long.

The white backdrop was designed with clear horizontal insets, that the finished pieces would slide in to.  And, the backdrop was also marked with 21 barely visible numbers and an outline of where the finished pieces should be placed.  White Velcro was also attached, to make sure the 21 puzzle pieces remained secure throughout the Summit – which they did.  This feat was a tremendous amount of pre-planning and coordination.  And, well worth it.
