Imagine the atmosphere as your team enters a giant adults’ toy store full of big machines and shiny mechanism.

The objective is to build a series of large mechanisms which, when placed in the right sequence, perform an amazing chain reaction of events where each device triggers the next, and the next, and the next… in an ingenious way!

Rat Trap is an activity where teams work together to solve a puzzle and reap the rewards of their seamless collaboration. The trick with Rat Trap is for teams to be aware of the bigger picture, as each structure has to be built in the right way and be placed in the right position for everything to work.

The tension builds as the whole chain reaction is unleashed, culminating in a weight being dropped that leads to the rat being caught and eventually everyone has a cause for celebration!

Results: Rat Trap brings teams together to work in a cohesive manner.

Construction draws on logical problem solving, project management and leadership skills.

Teams work towards a common goal communicating effectively and sharing ideas to connect the sections of the Rat Trap together.
