The Marshmallow Challenge is a team-building game that emphasizes the importance of collaboration and creative problem-solving. It’s a simple, fun and effective way to encourage teams to work together and think outside the box.
Teams are given a set of materials, including uncooked spaghetti, tape, string, and a marshmallow.
The challenge is to build the tallest freestanding structure possible using only the provided materials, with the marshmallow placed on top.
Teams have a set amount of time, typically around 20 minutes, to complete the task.
At the end of the time limit, the team with the tallest structure wins.
The game is designed to be lighthearted and entertaining, but it also has important lessons for team building and collaboration. Teams must work together to overcome challenges, communicate effectively, and think creatively to find the best solution. The end result is often surprising, with teams discovering that the fastest or most straightforward solution is not always the best one.
