A fun training game that demonstrates that open communication, effective listening skills and trust are the key to teams working well with one other.
Teams have limited time to construct a Roller Coaster which will allow a ping-pong ball to be dropped in at one end and travel to the other end by gravity alone!
How it works
This game can be run the following ways:
30-Minute Team Challenge
One of more teams compete against the clock (and/or one another) to construct and test the Roller Coaster in 30 minutes.
This may sound easy, but the instructions require teams to construct the roller coaster complying with specifications that need creativity and planning. The time limit also adds pressure more tension!
There is also the option of requiring teams to 'hire' the material to complete the task. Can they achieve it by spending less than other teams?
50-Minute Team Cooperation
Three teams work in different areas or in their own syndicate rooms, where they construct a different part of the Roller Coaster. After 45 minutes, bring the three teams together to assemble the three part Roller Coaster. Do they fit together and do the job as instructed?
Roller Coaster Ball is a highly energetic and practical activity that energises any course or training event. When the teams meet at the end there is high tension – and then euphoria when the ball completes its course! Demonstrates that open communication and trust is the key to project teams working well with one another.
“Brilliant; challenging and fun. Roller Coaster is a great learning tool”
“Easy to use for so many purposes including an icebreaker, teamwork and communication. It always brings out many learning points.”
“I wish I knew about Roller Coaster Ball earlier; it has helped to develop teams quickly.”

“The general feedback on our conference was ‘one of the best yet!’ I think that using starting the day with the Crime Squad really helped relax people into the day and I think they all found the Hotel exercise both challenging and rewarding and having you run the afternoon enabled us to see how the delegates actually worked together. Thanks to you and your team for helping make our conference a success.
The challenge for us is now to come up with something different for next year so any suggestions would be appreciated.”C. Garrett – Selwood
