Your Event - A Day Under the Big Top
Your event consists of an icebreaker, then other exciting and challenging activities, all under the context of creating your own circus. Teams will rotate through the challenge stations for an amazingly fun and adventurous day.
Challenge Activities - The Circus Acts
The challenge activities are designed to provide a variety of physical and mental challenges that vary both in nature and complexity. They are exciting, dynamic and imaginative. Task success will require applying problem solving techniques; maximizing resources, including skills and strengths within the team; and clear, effective communication. The competition can be characterized by strict time limits, which require energy, commitment and a sense of urgency if they are adhered to. All the projects are engaging and highly enjoyable. The circus is a celebration of the human mind and instrument, a place where a tight-knit team can challenge itself to go beyond its dreams.
Icebreaker: The Ringmaster Welcomes the Crowd
We'll start by introducing the staff and challenges for the day.
Challenge #1: Flying Trapeze
Each team member will get ground instruction and then several chances to swing as well as attempt a knee hang and/or a flipping dismount. The trapeze teaches us to focus on the task at hand, encourage others to be the best that they can be, and to move beyond obstacles, whether real or imagined.
Challenge #2: Murder Under the Big Top
Love, revenge, money: it''s all part of the drama under the Big Top. Somebody murdered our star flyer, Ariel List, and now its up to you to search for clues and determine "whodunit." You will compete with other teams to find clues and suspects, which will be scattered throughout the Jordan's Furniture building, then report back to "headquarters" at a pre-determined time. This "Murder Mystery" game is a fun and engaging way to engender positive communication, and to remember the importance of a sense of humor and grace under pressure.
Challenge #3: Sword Fighting – The Specialty Act
Every circus has a quirky act that defies categorization. Brandishing heavy foam swords, teams square off to battle each other. Release your inner knight with our fun foam boffer swords. Score points and eliminate opponents by knocking off their limbs Monty-Python-style. Once you learn the skill of broadsword fighting, you'll never back down from a duel again, so sharpen your battle cries!
Challenge #4: Juggling
Balls, scarves, and clubs: are all used to teach hand-eye coordination. We'll teach you a basic cascade pattern and more. Impress friends and teammates with your new skills. Anything's possible!
Challenge #5: Team-Building Games - The Midway
Our "Midway" comes complete with games tailored to your company. You may create a "pipeline," or "program" a new computer, or move a "hazardous object" to a safe location in seriously humorous scenarios. Compete, have fun, and learn about your teammates in the process. You may also like to visit some of the delicious food vendors here in here in the Jordan's Furniture building for some tasty treats.

A Note About Our Programs
All Trapeze School New York programs are designed to be challenging and enjoyable. There is no right way to succeed or have fun. Participants often come up with their own successful approaches to the challenges we provide. This is an important design feature as it allows for real creativity to achieve the objectives. Safety demands that all participants pay careful attention to the rules of the school and any instruction our staff may offer.
Our Staff
Trapeze School New York staff members are a fine blend of commercial experience, facilitation skills, and sensitivity to individual participants' concerns. Their role may be that of facilitator, observer, presenter, or guide, with their exact behavior dictated by how best to maximize fun and learning. With efficiency, respect, hard work, life-saving knowledge and cooperation, our staff exemplifies the best in successful team operations.
