The whole event was managed very well, the team learned a little more about each other as well as about themselves. Easy to follow activities creating a sense of understanding that while the activities were a game for us, to others it is their reality day in and day out.

What is the Bicycle Build Challenge team building activity?
The Bicycle Build Challenge is a charity team building activity where teams complete challenges to earn tools and parts, then assemble fully functional bicycles that are donated to children in need.
How does the Bicycle Build Challenge work?
Teams are formed and briefed, then compete in fast-paced challenges to earn the components they need. They assemble the bikes together, the bikes are quality-checked, and the event ends with a donation moment and debrief.
Who receives the bicycles?
Anywhere with a beach or an open grass field. It's available worldwide, so it works at a coastal resort, a park, or any venue with open outdoor space.
How many people can do the Bicycle Build Challenge?
It scales from about 12 participants to 500 or more, in teams of 4–8, so it works for a single department or a full conference crowd.

Most events run 1–3 hours, including the briefing, the challenges, the build, the quality check, and the donation moment. Timing can be tailored to your schedule.
Is the Bicycle Build Challenge indoor or outdoor?
It can run indoors or outdoors. The build itself works comfortably in a hotel ballroom, conference center, or office space.

We recommend about 100–150 square feet and one round or rectangular table with chairs per team. Full Tilt coordinates room setup with your venue.
