A unique experience
Lose your senses in an immersive team baking experience – in this ultimate trust exercise teams will be completely reliant on each other as each member will be stripped of one of their senses. Proving there really is no ‘eye’ in team.
Adapting a tried and tested method, we bring you a baking challenge with a twist. Working in teams you will be tasked with creating culinary masterpieces, producing cakes, pastries or bread, but there’s a catch. Each member of your team will lose the use of one of their senses. You must work together, reading the recipes and decorating your creations whilst relying on each other’s strength and realising your weaknesses. Communication is key and will make or break a team’s chances of winning the coveted winner’s crown. This is the perfect team building activity, promoting new skills in an enjoyable setting.

We’ve created a sample itinerary for the day’s events, these can be tailored specifically to your requests.
Arrive and divide into teams, ideally of 3 although teams can also be divided into 4. Teams will then decide which senses they will be without. These can be changed challenge by challenge if you wish. We would suggest taking into account your strengths and weaknesses. Possibly the office chatterbox could take on the role of being mute?
A briefing of the day's events will follow, with teams being instructed on what to expect and an introduction to the judges.
Get stuck into all 3 rounds, testing your baking skills to the limits. Each round will be judged, with the final round crowning one team the coveted ‘Star Bakers’.
Depending on group sizes, you may also enjoy some country games such as lawn bowls and croquet or possibly games more relevant to the theme you’ve chosen. This can be used to split larger groups into 2 halves, with one competing in the baking challenge whilst the other enjoys team bonding games and then they swap.
