Rollercoaster Team Building Challenge
Teams design, build, and race their own working rollercoaster from scratch. Engineering, creativity, and teamwork combine in this hands-on construction challenge, from the first blueprint to the final launch.
Build and Race Your Way to Victory
Rollercoaster is one of Event Collection's most creative and engaging indoor team events. Teams are given a set of raw materials and a brief, and from that moment, the design, planning, and building is entirely in their hands.
What makes Rollercoaster so effective is the way it naturally mirrors real project management challenges. Teams must plan under time pressure, allocate resources wisely, adapt when things don't go to plan, and collaborate effectively to bring their vision to life.
The trial-and-error nature of the build phase is particularly powerful. Teams learn to test, fail, adapt, and improve in real time.
The Launch Finale
The event culminates in the launch finale where teams race their creations against each other. Speed, distance, and design all count towards the final score.
Design. Build. Race.
Three phases that test creativity, teamwork, and engineering ingenuity
Phase 1: Design
Teams receive their materials and brief. Plan your rollercoaster design, assign roles, and decide how to use your resources wisely.
Phase 2: Build
The clock is ticking. Teams construct their rollercoaster, test sections, and troubleshoot problems as they go.
Phase 3: Race
Teams race their rollercoasters and send the ball on its journey. Speed, distance, and design flair all count towards the final score.
What's Included
Every event is fully planned, staffed and run — your team arrives ready to take part.
