Inspired by the hit games \u2018Mouse Trap\u2019 and \u2018Meccano\u2019<\/span>, Rat Trap<\/a> is a fantastic event where teams build a series of huge contraptions which, when placed in the right sequence, perform an amazing chain reaction of events. Each structure triggers the next in an ingenious way. If teams get everything right the final piece is triggered as the one ton weight drops and the rat gets it (well not literally).<\/p>\n

The trick with Rat Trap<\/a> is for teams to be conscious of the bigger picture, as each structure has to be built in the right way and be placed in the right position for everything to work. The end result, which started life as a room full of \u2018bits\u2019 never fails to inspire groups and show them what they are capable of when they apply a little teamwork and lateral thinking.<\/p>\n

Rat Trap<\/a> is completely mobile and can be run in any location and works well at most venues indoors or outdoors in the summer. It\u2019s also very flexible time wise and can last from 60 minutes to 2hrs<\/span> according to what you want to achieve. This is a fun, exciting and flexible teambuilding game that encourages strong teamwork and communication that produces a visually rewarding and entertaining finale.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
