Toxic Waste

A can of highly toxic popcorn has contaminated a circle approximately 8 feet in diameter. The toxic area extends to the ceiling. If the poisonous popcorn is not transferred to a safe container for decontamination, the toxic popcorn will contaminate and destroy the population of the entire nearly village of Aynho. The popcorn is estimated to have a safe life of exactly 30 minutes before it explodes. Obviously, there is insufficient time to contact authorities and evacuate the village. Therefore, the lives of hundreds of people are in your hands. Inside the circle you will find two cans. One (unsafe) container is marked red and is about half full of the toxic popcorn. The other (safe) container is available for decontamination.

 

Learning Objectives

This exercise focuses on team members planning together. It involves participation from all members, however, natural leaders may come to the fore and lead the exercise. Again, this is a problem-solving task and team members by trial and error will have to find the solution. It results in a realisation that planning is needed before some tasks can be tackled and that by taking everyone’s opinion into consideration a solution can be found quickly.

A Day in the Country like to work closely with you to design challenges that address your specific business goals in a lively context that is more tactical than physical. To this end, we have developed a ropes course that encourages teambuilding, personal development and networking that’s not only different and challenging, but great fun too.

 

If one of our programmes does not meet with your needs, then we will be delighted to quote you a special day combining ropes courses and team building activities for a multi activity day. We would also be pleased to quote for any other activity not mentioned here.
