Team Building Facilitation / High Ropes / Low Ropes & Fixed Initiatives

Low Ropes and Initiatives Tasks, although less intimidating in height or skill, stress patience and thorough thought processing. These activities are tools we use to challenge the group in problem solving, communication and collaboration.

Conundrum
Description: Four cables are strung close to the ground between four trees in the shape of an X. The group evenly divides themselves between the four wires and then stands on the wires at the trees. Each person moves from his or her starting tree to another one by balancing on the cable with the aid of ropes secured to the trees. To complete this challenge, each participant must end at a different tree, with different people, and in a different order.
