Hunger Battles Team Building Event
An adrenaline-fuelled survival-style team building adventure where teams navigate through 12 themed districts, battling rivals, forming alliances, and solving challenges on their way to a dramatic final showdown at the capital. Strategy, teamwork, and nerve: only one team will be crowned the victors. Available UK-wide for groups of 40–300 people.
Navigate the Districts. Outwit Your Rivals. Claim Victory at the Capital.
Hunger Battles is one of Event Collection's most thrilling indoor team building activities available across the UK. Inspired by survival-style competition, it plunges teams into an immersive adventure where strategic thinking, collaboration, and adaptability are the difference between victory and defeat.
Tracked on an oversized game board, teams embark on a journey through 12 uniquely themed districts. Each district presents a different set of challenges, from physical tasks and mind-bending puzzles to creative problem-solving games, all designed to test different skills and ensure every team member contributes.
What makes Hunger Battles genuinely unique is the inter-team dynamics. Teams can battle rivals head-to-head, form strategic alliances, or steal resources, adding unpredictability that keeps the energy high and the outcomes uncertain until the very end.
Why Hunger Battles Works for Corporate Team Building
Hunger Battles develops strategic thinking, decision-making under pressure, communication, adaptability, and leadership. These are the skills that separate good teams from great ones, and the competitive format ensures they are tested in a way that feels genuinely exciting rather than forced.
How Hunger Battles Works
From the opening briefing to the final showdown, every moment builds teamwork and tests strategy
Enter the Arena
Teams are formed and assigned their starting district on the oversized game board. Each team receives their mission brief and strategy begins immediately: who leads, who scouts, and who keeps the team together when the pressure builds?
Navigate the Districts
Teams journey through 12 uniquely themed districts, each presenting a different set of challenges, from physical tasks and mind-bending puzzles to strategy games that test every skill in the team. Along the way, teams can choose to battle rivals, form alliances, or steal resources, adding a layer of unpredictability that keeps everyone on their toes.
The Final Showdown
The journey culminates at the capital, where a grand final challenge awaits. This ultimate test pushes teams to their limits, combining elements from every district. The last team standing, having outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted the competition, is crowned the victors of Hunger Battles.
