Event Summary

The Olympic Challenge is a GPS-guided, iPad-based team building event set across Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Built for groups of 12 to 500. Teams navigate five zones, cracking clues, completing challenges, and tracking rivals on a live leaderboard.

The format is structured but self-running. After a clear briefing, teams work independently with the app guiding them through the route. It’s designed to involve everyone – including quieter team members – without pressure. Works well for corporate away days, large offsites, and summer team days.

“There’s nothing quite like the Olympic Park as a backdrop and teams feel it as soon as they arrive. What I enjoy most is watching groups figure out, through the challenge itself, what it actually takes to perform as a unit.”

What To Expect

  • Arrival & Briefing — Teams meet their event manager, collect their iPad Mini and get a full run-through before setting off
  • The Challenge — Five GPS-unlocked zones, live scoring, inter-team messaging, and a real race to the top of the leaderboard
  • Wrap-Up — Scores, medals, and a post-event photo link sent to all

Why Teams Love This

  • Cross-team communication — the app’s messaging and live scoreboard create genuine interaction between people who don’t normally work together.
  • Clear participation — the challenge format gives every team member a natural way to contribute, reducing the risk of disengagement in larger groups.
  • Measurable energy — the competitive element drives consistent engagement across the full 2–3 hours, rather than tapering off mid-activity.
  • Memorable setting — the Olympic Park carries its own atmosphere. Teams aren’t just doing a team building exercise — they’re somewhere that means something.

The event runs at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London. The park is easily accessible by tube (Stratford station) and has ample space for groups of all sizes.

The Olympic Park is largely flat and accessible. We can adapt the route and challenge format to accommodate participants with mobility or other accessibility requirements — just let us know at the planning stage.

Each team receives an iPad Mini loaded with the interactive challenge app, plus a kit bag for the day. An experienced event management team runs the full session, and medals are awarded to the winning team. After the event, you’ll receive a photo link from throughout the day.

Crystals are virtual and collected through the iPad app as teams complete challenges within zones. Each crystal earned multiplies your points, so they’re incredibly valuable. The final score combines challenge points plus crystal bonuses.
