Strategic Games is a Dynamic team-building program that is filled with fast-paced problem-solving challenges that reinforce the core values of teams and strategic goals of your organization.

With every completed challenge, the bar is raised…
Venture Up’s Bike Builder Challenge for Kids in Need is our most popular charity team building event. Teams warm up with quick Energizers, then assemble, decorate, and safety test brand-new bikes for underserved children ages 5 to 10. Each group receives a child’s name and creates a personalized bike and card, delivering a fast, meaningful, and highly rewarding team experience.
Minutes-to-Win-It and Team Survivors is a fast-paced, high-energy team challenge inspired by classic competition shows. Teams face a multitude of mental and light physical challenges that reward creativity, communication, and collaboration. From indoors to outdoors and small to large spaces and groups, this event is our favorite on-site competitive program.
Escape the Case is Venture Up’s hit conference-room escape game is for groups of 10-500+. Teams organize fractured clues through a series of locked metal cases using clues, ciphers, and clever tools. Fast, high-tech, and wildly fun, with a surprise final collaboration twist to unite the group. Lightly based on the escape room concept and built with 40+ years of professional team development experience.
Mega Car 500 is a high-energy engineering challenge where teams design, build, and race life-size, human-powered vehicles with no instructions and no preset solutions. Using provided materials, groups collaborate to create functional cars that must carry a teammate through a competitive course. The experience builds to a crowd-cheered race and awards ceremony, delivering creativity, collaboration, and bragging rights.
Mini Car 500 is a fast-paced engineering challenge where teams turn a small block of wood into a gravity-powered race car. Teams construct and test miniature cars, refining their builds to maximize speed and performance before the final race. With races decided by fractions of a second, the program delivers focused collaboration, excitement, and only one Mini Car 500 Champion.
Technicolor Transport is a hands-on problem-solving challenge where teams design, build, and operate a custom fluid-transport system. Participants collaborate to create a working solution, then rely solely on valves to route colored fluids accurately. This unique event emphasizes efficiency, team decision-making, and execution under pressure. It’s harder than it looks!
