Sweet City Challenge
It's serious fun ....in Bristol, Bath, Cardiff or wherever you are based....
Thanks for a really good day out - it was like going on holiday in our own city! The problem solving aspects of the City Challenge bought out unexpected qualities in our team but best of all everyone had lots of fun.
Rowena Harris, Director, BJ Associates (UK) Ltd
Sweet City Challenge is an activity based team building experience from which everyone will gain enjoyment and personal benefit.
Each team will have to use a combination of strategy, planning, delegation, communication, time management and project management skills to be successful. The day is designed to be a fun-filled, interactive, team development event with plenty of interesting locations to explore and delicious food to help you on your way.
You will meet in a central location for coffee and pastries where your trainers will greet you and the fun begins. Each team will be provided with everything needed including a map, training notes, a digital camera, notebook and pens, but after that you are on your own and the clock is ticking!
Participants do not need to have any previous knowledge of the chosen city. Sweet City Challenge is equally suited to lifelong residents or first time visitors to the city. A typical day will start at 9.30am and finish at approximately 4pm but tailored packages are also available.
Typical City Challenge activities include:
Treasure Hunt
You will be given a number of clues to solve – who? what? where? when?
Will you find the seahorse or discover for whom the night bells toll? You will come across a mixture of the historic, the industrial, the modern and the intriguing. You will also have the opportunity to discover some of the very best buildings and attractions that your city has to offer.
Photo Challenge
Equipped with a digital camera, your team will need to keep your eyes open and let your imaginations run wild. You might gain valuable minutes by recreating works of art or being crowned wildlife photographer of the year!
Team Tasks
Each team will also be given a number of tasks to complete within the time allowed. Who will do what? When will tasks be achieved en route? Some team tasks will require lateral thinking while others will involve you in discovering curious things about your team members and will even involve members of the public.
What is included?
- Backpacks with all necessary equipment
- A training session at both the start and end of the day
- Facilitators on hand for the day
- Venue hire
- Continental Breakfast
- Lunch
- CD Rom with all the team's photos
- Follow-up report

Our staff development sessions had gone a bit flat - we needed a change and a stimulating event and Sweet City Challenge certainly provided that with lots to build on for the future.

One of our prime aims was to team build through learning and having fun. Those boxes were definitely ticked and the overall enjoyment people had throughout the day continues to live with us.
