Squid Play Game Show – Team Building Activity

Get ready to experience the ultimate indoor team building event inspired by the global hit Squid Game! Designed for indoor venues such as conference centres, hotels, and offices, this immersive and hilarious challenge will engage your team with high-stakes tasks, creative problem- solving, and just the right amount of mischief.

This experience transforms the infamous challenges from Squid Game into a safe, team-oriented environment where no one gets eliminated—but everyone gets involved. Participants will be split into teams seated around tables, with a dynamic live host and big screen visuals guiding them through a series of themed games.

Each round features a mixture of table-based puzzles, physical face-offs at the front of the room, and mini skill challenges. All adapted to encourage teamwork, creativity, and a good laugh.

Inspired but by no way affiliated with the hit Netflix TV show Squid Games; the competition builds as teams navigate their way through mental, physical, and strategic games, collecting points along the way. The final showdown sees the remaining teams go head-to-head for ultimate victory, with the top performers earning Zing medals and ultimate bragging rights.

Some example Squid Play Game Show Challenges...

Red Light, Green Light
“Move fast, but don’t get caught.”
Teams must cross the finish line without moving when the giant “Doll” turns around. Any false movement sends players back to the start. The key? Team coordination, quick reactions, and focus.

Tug of War
“It’s not about strength—it’s about strategy.”
A classic tug-of-war challenge, but with BluTac, where teams must work together to pull their opponents over the line. Just like in the show, teamwork and technique win over brute force.

The Honeycomb Challenge
“Precision is everything.”
Each player must carefully carve out a shape from a giant biscuit using only a toothpick. Teamwork comes in the form of coaching, strategy, and a steady hand under pressure.

Marbles Madness
“You’ll need brains and bravery.”
Teams go head-to-head in a series of mini-games using balls. Strategy, negotiation, and problem-solving skills are key to making it through this round.

The Glass Bridge
“Trust your team, take the risk.”
Teams must navigate a series of stepping stones, some of which are safe, and others are “unstable.” Using problem-solving, risk assessment, and team support, players must choose the right path forward.

The Final Showdown – The Squid Game
“Only one team can win.”
A fast-paced, high-energy final challenge where teams must outmanoeuvre their opponents to claim victory. This is the ultimate test of teamwork, communication, and competitive spirit.
