FAQs
Beat The Box: Frequently Asked Questions
Beat The Box is a fast-paced indoor team challenge inspired by television game shows such as The Cube. Teams tackle timed tabletop tasks, app-based activities and high-pressure showcase games inside an inflatable arena.
Each team receives a chest containing more than 50 individual and group activities, together with an iPad explaining the challenges. Teams submit evidence through the app so the Games Master can check successful attempts and award points.
Every team receives equal time in the inflatable cube to attempt showcase challenges. Teams need to decide who should represent them in each task, making their choice of participant as important as the performance itself.
There is an equal mixture of individual and collaborative activities. Although one person may complete a particular task, the wider team still needs to assess its members' strengths and decide who offers the best chance of success.
Yes. The available tasks and their order are part of the strategy. Teams must judge which challenges suit them, avoid wasting too long on one problem and keep collecting points while the clock continues to run.
The activity combines seated or tabletop puzzles with more active arena challenges. Its broad range is designed to reward different strengths rather than making speed, fitness or one particular ability essential throughout.
The format can run for approximately one to three hours. This flexibility allows it to work as a conference activity, a half-day indoor team-building session or part of a wider company event.
Beat The Box is suitable for approximately 20 to 160 participants. Teams work simultaneously on their challenge chests before coming together for shared head-to-head activities and arena moments.
The event needs an appropriate indoor space for the team tables, challenge equipment and inflatable cube. The available room dimensions and access should be checked during planning. The inflatable cube requires a minimum height of 3m.
The event rewards groups that identify strengths rather than choosing the same confident person repeatedly. Good teams communicate clearly, delegate intelligently and recognise when a colleague is particularly suited to the challenge in front of them.
