Beat the Box is a innovative, cutting edge team building activity the brain child of Markus Ruese and Rene Wittek from Catalyst Germany. Developed and branded in 2015, it is distributed worldwide exclusively through the Catalyst Global Team building network. It was the first of its kind, portable Escape Room style game for corporates utilising the power of experiential learning in a fun, engaging team building game.
In Beat the Box, the game commences with a mysterious video message in which a strange voice sets the challenge. Each team stands in front of a metal box. Inside the box are four cases, each of containing a series of mysteries to be uncovered. The countdown begins. Participants have a limited amount of time to solve puzzles, tasks and puzzles. To win the game, they must enter a code for the electronic combination lock to stop the clock before the time runs out.
The winning teams combine their various individual skills, solving a number of challenges posed before them. Participants learn to work efficiently and effectively within a limited time span. Beat the Box stimulates innovative thinking as team members work together to trouble shoot problems. Team members come to realise the value of others individual strengths in applying creative logic to problem solving. It thereby develops respect and good relationships.
In a final twist, teams must collaborate, combining knowledge in order to solve the ultimate mystery. Teams learn to work together shirking off silo mentality and visualise the big picture of the whole project. Learnings from Beat the Box are directly applicable to the workplace and can be reflected on long after the activity has been completed.
