The Puzzle Box and the Brilliant Twist: From Competition to Collaboration!
How does it work? Participants are divided into teams of 6 to 8, with each team receiving their own puzzle box. Inside, they will find four locked briefcases and a tablet with a dedicated app. Initially, the groups compete against each other – the goal is to solve a series of physical, logical, and virtual tasks in under 120 minutes.
However, mid-game, an incredible plot twist occurs! The teams discover that while their boxes contain the same set of puzzles, they hold completely different final elements. To solve the ultimate mystery and achieve final victory, the initial competition must evolve into cross-team collaboration. This is a brilliant team building activity that teaches employees a valuable lesson: in business, we all play for the same team.

And that is our biggest surprise! Although the game starts as a typical competition, over time the teams realize that to build Leonardo Da Vinci's machine or solve the Zodiac case, they need information and parts from the other boxes. This is a powerful dose of team building that forces the ultimate collaboration of all employees.
