Incentive Games

Choose some of the following games for your teambuilding daytrip.

The teams follow a preset course in any location in Iceland. At each station they find a game, activity or a logic trial awaits them. The game is played with points and the team with the most points wins the day. However the rewards are always something that everyone taking part (all the teams) appreciates, for example the winning team might win lots of beer to share or a nice dinner for everyone in a seafood restaurant on the South shore. The reward is up to the management of the company taking part in the race.

There others from the team take over for a further 40 meters. The first team to have all team members jump the necessary distance wins the points.

Goofy Bandy - Each team is split up into smaller units and they then compete against each other. The clubs are different from normal ones in that they are padded so there is no risk of injury.

Velcro ball game - Each team is split up into smaller units to compete in the world famous Velcro ball game. Every one dresses in special pants and jacket that have Velcro on the buttocks and chest. The ball it self is covered with Velcro so it locks on to the pants or jacket. It is forbidden to touch the ball with any other body part than the buttocks or chest. Goals are scored by fastening the ball to a goal covered with Velcro.

Flying Fox!

After the flying the teams compete in various games on the riverbank, chosen from the selection presented here.

Boxing match! - Not the fighting kind...! Here the teams race to build their own highway to the finish line with timber planks and beer boxes. It works like this: Each team starts standing on a timber plank that rests on two beer cases. The team holds in their hands one more timber plank. In front of them are spread out many more beer cases and the team has to lay their plank down the right way to find the road to finish. Fastest team wins the points.

RopeTow! - Here we pit the strengths of each team together in a classic rope tow. With separate teams on each end of a 30 meter long rope, each one pulls with all their might to bring the competitors over to their side.

Poeting Justice! - Each team composes a poem in 5 minutes. In the end of the day (i.e. when having dinner) someone from each team reads the poem for the group. The entire group then chooses the best poem with a hand count. Best poem wins the points.
