Teams will be dropped off on an island and given a briefing to fill them in on the Lost-based escape the island team building activity. Challenges could include deciphering codes, solving map mysteries, unlocking boxes, answering riddles from characters based on the show, and culminating in an epic make-or-break challenge to finally solve the mystery of the island and escape before the mystery, or the island, consumes them.
To assist them, teams will be accompanied by a Making Teams facilitator to help explain the challenges and watch over their safety. If teams are unable to complete a task, or require additional help beyond basic tips or hints, time penalties will be incurred.
A time limit will be set and participants will be under pressure to be creative and work together in this one of a kind problem solving activity, ultimate teamwork is required to solve the mystery of the island and escape before it’s too late!
