Squid Games

If you’re searching for a team building activity in New Zealand that’s thrilling, hilarious, and just a little ruthless, you’ve found it.

Our Squid Games team challenge is designed to shake up your next corporate event with suspense, strategy, and a whole lot of laughs. It’s fast, unpredictable, and one of the most exciting corporate team building activities in NZ.

From the first round, your team will be on edge (in the best way). The tension builds, the stakes feel real, and every challenge pushes teams to think, adapt, and work together.

What It’s All About

Squid Games is all about pressure, teamwork, and thinking clearly when it counts.

Each round introduces a new challenge. Some are physical, some are strategic, and others are purely about staying calm under pressure. At first, teams try to play it safe. Then, as the game unfolds, they start taking risks, backing each other, and committing fully to the moment.

Success is not about strength or speed. Instead, it comes down to communication, quick thinking, and how well your team works together when things don’t go to plan.

Because of this, it’s one of the most engaging team bonding activities in New Zealand for groups ready to step outside their comfort zones.

How It Works

To kick things off, our hosts set the tone, build the suspense, and brief your teams.

From there, it’s game on.

Teams take on a series of reimagined challenges inspired by the show, all designed to be safe, light-hearted, and perfect for corporate groups:

Red Light, Green Light – Move carefully or risk “elimination.”
Dalgona Challenge – Steady hands and focus are everything.
Tug-of-War – Strength and teamwork combined.
Glass Bridge Challenge – Memory, courage, and a bit of luck.
Strategy Puzzles & Riddles – Because not every win comes from muscle.

As the rounds progress, the pressure builds, the leaderboard tightens, and teams start to back themselves more with every challenge.

By the final round, the competition is real, the laughs are loud, and everyone is fully invested.

Why Teams Love It

Squid Games is bold, fast, and completely unpredictable, and that’s exactly why it works.

The mix of physical challenges, mental puzzles, and unexpected twists means every person gets a chance to contribute. Some lead, some strategise, and others keep the team calm when it matters most.

At the same time, the “elimination” element adds excitement without pressure. It keeps teams engaged, creates memorable moments, and brings everyone along for the ride.

By the end, your team walks away more connected, more energised, and with a shared experience full of laughs, near misses, and “how did that just happen?” moments.
