THE PUZZLE RELAY
The Puzzle Relay mixes real-life scenarios with puzzling fun. When team building at work, there are several stages a team goes through: Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. We put your group through these phases at a much quicker pace – under the guise of puzzling! We mix up the group repeatedly while continually flexing that team building muscle.
Puzzle Relay meets you at a local Old Town Scottsdale bar or restaurant; we divide the group into teams of 3, 4 or 5 people. During each 25 minute phase we send up to two people (at different times) out on golf carts to find clues (don’t worry, we provide the drivers!) while the remaining members solve a series of puzzles at the table. When the puzzles are complete, we record a team time. Then, everyone switches to a new team – which we control – every round they puzzle with new people! When you include the people in the golf cart, each person meets up to 16 new people. The team building continues long after the Relay, as participants continue to share their experiences after the event has concluded.
Worried about the heat? Our no-golf cart Challenge Option finds teams competing for clues instead of riding for clues, and can be done at any participating Old Town bar or your location. A visit to Old Town Scottsdale not in your plans? Let us bring the Puzzle Relay to you!

THE AFTER ACTION REPORT
When your Puzzle Relay is completed, you have the option of one of our Master Puzzlemasters sitting down with company stakeholders and sharing our analysis of your team by teaching you how to read the data your team just created.
The After Action Report can identify the company culture, how management is perceived, who are superstars in the making and (occasionally!) if you have a bad apple. This proprietary system was developed with the help of psychologists and members of MENSA, and is often the favorite part of a Relay!
DON’T PUZZLE HUNGRY!
TEAM MEAL OPTIONS
Puzzle Relays are EASILY mixed with lunch or dinner for your team! Appetizers can be served alongside our puzzles, and lunch or dinner can be prearranged to bookend your Puzzle Relay. We work with over a dozen different locations that serve fantastic food – we listen to your needs and preferences and match you to three potential locations. Once you pick your perfect spot – we make the reservation and then connect you directly to the Food and Beverage Manager so that everything can be arranged in advance. We make it easy to keep your group happy and fed!

PUZZLE RIDES
Treat your team to an experience they’ll never forget – a Puzzle Ride in Old Town Scottsdale that they’ll talk about for days!
Groups of 15 or less can pick from any of our rides and RACE to the finish! Hijacked by Science and Wild West Heist Puzzle Rides see your team compete side by side in our 5 passenger golf carts. The adrenaline is high and you’ll be smarter because of it!
Groups of 20 or less can ARGHuably have a shipload of fun on the “high seas” of Old Town with our Pirates Treasure Adventure! Teambuilding begins BEFORE the ride, as teams pick their crew, elect a Captain, choose a First Mate and name their trusty ship. Arrive in Pirate Garb and sail away towards fun! Want some silly fun? Our Scooby Doo-inspired Ghost Riders is only available after dark! On either ride, groups start off by riding side by side before veering off in different directions. The final location is the same, and the first team to find the final item wins!
Groups of 25 or less have two “Amazing Race” style rides to pick from: Copper Canyon Caper (which explores Arizona History) or Time Trap Escape (where you have to rescue an astronaut stuck in a Time Trap, opening SOON in 2025!) Both rides utilize a shotgun-style start in which teams head off to different parts of the route, solving the same puzzles…just in a different order. The first team to the final location wins…but you have no idea which place you are in until you arrive!
Difficulty Level: Range from Easy to Moderately Hard
Time: 75 or 90 minutes to solve
FOR 100-500+ PEOPLE
PUZZLE ROUNDS
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
As Seen In
Teams Are Talking
ALL PUZZLE RUCKUS TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES 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.
