Going for Gold

 

Ideal for large numbers

Includes some challenging questions, some creativity and a card-based challenge that requires
logical thinking and
a good team process.

Teams start with 20 questions about the Olympic Games and hand in their best answers to receive a set of cards.

Half these cards contain the (mythical) names of cities that might host the Olympic Games; the other half gives clues which help the team eliminate all the cities except one.

Teams then design an advertising poster for the city which must include a new Olympic sport of their choice! All this against a tight deadline. The questions, the city and the poster are then scored to see who wins the gold medals! (Five winners medals are included in the pack.)
