Five team building activities built for
change readiness
Each one gives the team a real challenge to work through together and then we wrap the same guided reflection around it. Pick the one that fits your group, or ask us to recommend.
Amazing Race
Experience the high-stakes thrill of the hit reality show firsthand with the Jambar Amazing Race, an outdoor team-building adventure designed to get you off the couch and into the action. Racing through various checkpoints, teams must navigate with maps and clues to tackle diverse Road Block challenges. Efficiency is rewarded, as finishing tasks ahead of schedule earns your team time credits that are deducted from your final clock-in. It is a fast-paced test of creative problem-solving and time management that emphasizes the power of complementary skill sets, ensuring an engaging experience that transforms viewers into competitors.
Starbound
Step onto the bridge of a struggling starship where the stakes are high and the clock is relentless. In this immersive simulation, your team must navigate a series of escalating crises where every voice matters, but only collective action ensures survival. It’s a fast-paced test of advocacy, leadership, and the art of staying calm while the alarms are sounding. The experience is immersive and high-energy, with moments of laughter alongside meaningful reflection. Teams quickly realise that success depends on how well they listen, align, and take ownership as a unit.
Deadline
Deadline is a fast, tablet-based strategy game where your team runs a company’s entire supply chain. Buying raw materials, arranging transport and scheduling production to ship on time and at the lowest cost. As the clock ticks, constant updates hit the tablet. f Floods, strikes, trade wars, etc. forcing the team to rethink decisions and adapt the plan on the fly. It’s a pressure-cooker test of quick thinking, risk preparedness and staying composed when the situation keeps shifting; not unlike the real world.
Breaking Barriers
Break those barriers that are holding you back from achieving your goals. Jambar’s breaking barriers helps people identify, acknowledge and overcome their fears and insecurities that are stopping them from achieving their goals. This is achieved by using mental strength and focus to physically break through a thick wooden board, a goal that initially seems unachievable. By the end of the session, participants will be overwhelmed with all the positive energy they gained through out the activity. They will feel a sense of achievement which will help them navigate through their barriers both in their personal and work lives.
Change It Up
Step back into 14th-century Singapore with an immersive bartering challenge that tests your team’s ability to survive and thrive within a volatile social hierarchy. Divided into factions with varying levels of influence, participants must navigate historical crises like famine and disease by forging strategic alliances and mastering the art of the “win-win” negotiation. This high-stakes simulation hones collaborative problem-solving and change management, forcing teams to pivot their strategies to turn environmental threats into profitable opportunities. It is a powerful lesson in resourcefulness and long-term partnership, proving that a team’s resilience and adaptability are the true keys to building a rags-to-riches legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions, answered
Who is this growth day for?
Teams where the ground keeps moving. Priorities shift faster than people can absorb, some are holding on to the old way of working, and change arrives as anxiety rather than energy. It’s often a merger, a reorg, a restructure or a new system or strategy going in.
What will be different afterwards?
People adapt faster and stay steadier when the plan changes. They make decisions with less certainty than they’d like, bring colleagues along rather than leaving them behind, and treat a setback as something to move through.
Why these activities?
We have five activities, and they all change the rules on you partway through. Change It Up is a 14th century Singapore bartering game where crises like famine hit and teams have to pivot their strategy. Starbound throws escalating crises at a crew, and in Deadline teams run a supply chain while floods, strikes and trade wars force them to rethink the plan on the fly. Amazing Race sends teams through checkpoints and roadblocks where smart time management pays off. Breaking Barriers is the direct one: people identify what’s holding them back and break through a thick wooden board, about as literal a way to deal with resistance as you’ll find.
How is it different from Team Resilience?
Two different needs! This one is about agility: keeping up when priorities and plans keep moving. Resilience is about stamina: absorbing pressure and recovering from setbacks. If your situation is a merger or a new system going in, you’re in the right place. If the team is simply worn down, resilience is the better fit.
We’re mid-merger. Should we wait until things settle?
We’d say no, don’t wait! The value is highest while people are still forming their view of what’s happening, and by the time things settle the habits have already set. If it’s genuinely chaotic right now, tell us and we’ll help you pick the right moment.
