Inukshuk Challenge
Build a landmark, leave an impact. Inspired by the Inukshuk stone markers of the north, teams assemble a giant Inukshuk over a cache of goods — and quickly learn that only teams who share resources build something truly impressive.

Everything you need to know about the Inukshuk Challenge
Using the materials provided, teams assemble their own giant Inukshuk that marks a cache of goods to be donated at the end of the program.
Here's the lesson built into it: teams have just enough materials to finish the task, but not enough to make something spectacular on their own. Only the teams that start combining resources and helping their neighbors create truly impressive Inukshuks.

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.
Tom and August did a lovely job and we go to meet the non-profit from where the chairs will be distributed.”

What is the Inukshuk Challenge team building activity?
The Inukshuk Challenge is a charity team building activity where teams build a giant Inukshuk stone-style marker over a cache of goods, which is donated at the end. It's based on the Inukshuk landmarks used as markers in the north.
How does the Inukshuk Challenge work?
Teams are given materials and asked to build an Inukshuk marking a donation cache. Because no team has quite enough on its own, the activity rewards teams that share resources and help their neighbors, ending with a donation and debrief.
What gets donated in the Inukshuk Challenge?
The cache of goods marked by each Inukshuk is donated to those in need. Full Tilt coordinates the receiving charity on your behalf.
What's the lesson behind the Inukshuk Challenge?
That collaboration beats competition. Teams have just enough to finish but not enough to excel alone, so only those who combine resources across teams build something impressive.
How many people can do the Inukshuk Challenge?
It scales from about 12 participants to 500 or more, in teams of 4–8, making it suitable for departments and large conferences.
How long does the Inukshuk Challenge take?
Most events run 1–3 hours, including the build, the cross-team collaboration, and the donation. Timing can be tailored to your schedule.
Does the Inukshuk Challenge count as a CSR activity?
Yes. Because it ends in a tangible donation of goods, it's a strong fit for corporate social responsibility goals while still working as genuine team building.
How much does the Inukshuk Challenge cost?
Cost depends on group size, location, and customization. Request a custom quote with your headcount and date for an accurate figure.
