Stuck on a distant planet your people have one objective — to launch their rocket and get back home. But to successfully launch the rocket they have to take on a series of challenges that will test them to the limit.

The Great Space Race challenges take place inside specially-designed aluminium capsules. Within the capsules are tasks, tests and puzzles that will require lateral thinking, physical dexterity and teamwork to solve.

The challenges are as diverse as they are difficult. One capsule is completely dark inside — find the UV light to reveal a circuit board to be repaired. A laptop computer and radios are found in another capsule — vital tools to track down lost rocket components. Another capsule has a maze of laser beams that the teams have to negotiate though to defuse and safely extract an unexploded mine. A dangerously contaminated capsule contains a leaking fuel cell that needs to be stabilised and retrieved. Other capsules present even more physical, mathematical and scientific challenges.

Flexible for any duration or location, The Great Space Race is all about teamwork as it will take the combined physical and mental effort of everyone to succeed.

For each completed challenge the teams will earn credits that can be used to purchase rocket launch components. When all the teams combine their efforts and the components come together, the countdown begins and the launch of a huge rocket takes place — the perfect happy ending to a teamworking challenge that’s simply out of this world.
