BOOST YOUR TEAM’S COMMUNICATION, TRUST, AND MORALE WITH
THE BEST TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY
IN THE MIDWEST
Our Puzzle Relay offers a fun and engaging team-building experience that helps employees develop new skills and strengthen relationships while having a blast.
Designed to appeal to a wide range of interests and abilities, from creative problem-solving to physical challenges, we’ll mix your team repeatedly over the course of two hours. Everyone will puzzle with an entirely new team every 25 minutes; we mimic real-life work scenarios as we continually put them through the paces of forming, storming, norming and performing!
Every relay is customized based on your team’s size, time frame, and preferences. We can bring the Puzzle Relay to you, or we can meet you in a local bar/restaurant for even more fun. Our optional After Action Report offers immediate ROI – something no other team building experience offers.

The Midwest’s best
TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY
Puzzle Ruckus’ team building puzzle activities will mix your team repeatedly for over two hours of puzzling fun, with something for everyone! Here’s how it works…
FOR 12-100 PEOPLE
THE PUZZLE RELAY: A LOOK INSIDE
Over 30 puzzles, 8 challenge opportunities, and tons of fun! We meet at a local bar/restaurant OR your location for a tournament of champions! We split your group into teams of 3-5 people, which we mix up in every new phase.
Our two hour event boasts four phases of puzzling; during each phase each team must solve a puzzle box in less than 25 minutes. The kicker? One person must leave to compete in a challenge in order to earn clues for the team clue box – and then switch with another team member to do the same (up to four times in one phase!)…all before time runs out!
We purposefully mix real-life work scenarios into our puzzles – like what do you do when someone leaves a project, how do you integrate new people, and what do you do if you don’t understand what you’re supposed to do…all in the guise of puzzling fun!
Team times are recorded as puzzles are completed – but there’s opportunities to earn individual time credits and team credits, too. To ensure everyone works with new people, we mix up the teams every round to make things even more exciting! At the end of the final round, one team will win overall, and the top three teams are honored.
Participants will add up their individual total time – and the top three individuals are also presented with awards (because they brought their best to every team!)
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Activity Level: Leisure/ Active
Time: 2.5 hours

THE AFTER ACTION REPORT
When all is said and done, you have the option of our Puzzlemasters (who are former sales trainers) sit down with company stakeholders and share our analysis of your team with you by teaching you how to read the data your team just created.
We identify the company culture, how management is perceived, who are superstars in the making and (occasionally!) if you have a bad apple. This optional analysis uncovers a lot, and is often the favorite part!
FOR 100-500+ PEOPLE
PUZZLE ROUNDS: A CAROUSEL OF FUN!
Over 50 puzzles, mixing teams and the talk of the conference! The plates are cleared after lunch or dinner, and the puzzling fun begins! Without leaving their seats, we create new teams of 3-5 people with every new phase of puzzling!
Our ninety minute event boasts four phases of puzzling; during each phase each new team must solve a series of puzzles in just 15-20 minutes. The kicker? One person must complete a separate challenge in order to earn clues for the final challenge before helping the rest of the team…and all puzzles must be complete before time runs out!
We purposefully mix real-life work scenarios into our puzzles – like what do you do when someone leaves a project, how do you integrate new people, and what do you do if you don’t understand what you’re supposed to do…all in the guise of puzzling fun!
Team times are recorded as puzzles are completed – and we move the team parameters around the table, creating new teams and ensuring everyone works with new people. At the end of the final round, one team will win overall, and the top three teams are honored.
This event takes place right after a conference lunch or dinner, as soon as the meal is cleared away. Guests remain at the table and create positive memories that will have attendees talking the rest of the event! Puzzle Rounds is the flexible and ideal way to engage groups of over 100 people at one time.
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Activity Level: Leisurely
Time: 90 minutes
Teams Are Talking
ALL PUZZLE RELAYS ARE
DESIGNED TO
Improve communication
When team members get to know each other outside of work, they are more likely to communicate effectively and respectfully in the workplace. They can also learn how to listen to each other, give feedback, and resolve conflicts constructively.
Increase trust and empathy
When team members work together to overcome challenges, they build trust and empathy, which can lead to more effective collaboration and cooperation. They also learn how to appreciate each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and how to leverage them for the team’s benefit.
Spark creativity and innovation
When team members are exposed to new perspectives, experiences, and skills, they can spark their creativity and innovation. Team building activities can challenge them to think outside the box, experiment with new ideas, and take risks in a safe environment.
Boost morale and motivation
When team members feel connected, supported, and valued, they are more likely to be engaged, productive, and loyal to the company. Team building activities can provide a fun and rewarding break from routine work, and show that the company cares about their well-being.
Amplify culture and community
When team members share a common goal or vision, they can feel a sense of purpose and belonging that goes beyond individual interests. Team building activities can align them with the company’s mission and values, and inspire them to make a positive impact on their community and the world.
