Momentum Launch
What Is Momentum Launch
Get ready for a fun, catapult team building activity where creativity and teamwork take center stage! In Momentum Launch, teams will work together to design and build a catapult, a team banner, and a tower. To gather the materials they need, teams must complete a series of exciting challenges and mini-missions, earning supplies as they go. Strategy, communication, and a little creativity will help teams build the best structures possible.
The program ends with an exciting catapult tournament where teams put their creations to the test. Using their catapults, they’ll launch projectiles and try to knock down as many cups as possible from the towers. It’s a lively finale full of cheers, friendly competition, and plenty of epic launches!
Why Teams Love This Catapult Team Activity
- Everyone contributes to the build. From designing the catapult to assembling the tower and banner, there’s a hands-on role for every team member.
- It rewards strategy as much as creativity. Teams have to plan how they earn and use their materials, so smart choices matter just as much as clever designs.
- The tournament brings it all together. Watching your catapult launch projectiles at the competition’s towers turns hours of building into one high energy, cheer worthy finale.
- It’s a genuine team effort. No one person can complete the mini-missions, gather materials, and build three structures alone, so real collaboration is baked into the format from start to finish.
Momentum Launch Agenda
Welcome and Team Formation
The event will begin with a welcome from your event host, who will assist in organizing the group into teams at the specified location. Following this, participants will receive a detailed briefing on the activity.
Team Challenges
Teams work together to complete fun challenges that test teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. As they succeed, they earn supplies they can use to design and build their catapult.
Catapult Build and Test Launch
Teams will put their skills to work building both their catapult and tower, carefully designing each for maximum strength and impact. Once construction is complete, they’ll do a test launch to see how their catapult performs, fine-tuning their design before the ultimate tournament showdown.
Tournament Begins
The moment of truth is here! Teams line up their catapults as the tournament kicks off, ready to see whose design reigns supreme. Each catapult is put to the ultimate test, launching projectiles at opposing towers in a thrilling showdown.
Wrap Up and Photo Op
After all the launches and tower takedowns, it’s time to celebrate! Teams gather as the winners are announced, recognizing the most accurate, creative, and strategic builders. The event wraps up with cheers, high-fives, and a sense of accomplishment for everyone, because in Momentum Launch, every team leaves having built, launched, and conquered together.

Momentum Launch is a hands-on catapult building team building activity where teams complete challenges to earn materials, then design, build, and test a catapult and tower before a final launch tournament.
Teams practice an engineering team building challenge by designing and building working catapults and towers, while communication and division of labor under a time limit build collaboration and problem-solving skills.
Momentum Launch is built for mid-size to large groups, typically 25-500 participants divided into teams of 4-8, making it a strong fit for department events and company-wide gatherings alike.
Momentum Launch stands apart from Bridge Builders and Domino Effect Challenge by combining a competitive catapult tournament with team challenges for supplies, adding a competitive style finale to the engineering build.
Momentum Launch is best suited to an indoor venue year-round, since the challenge stations, catapult-building tables, and tournament format work best on a flat, covered surface.

The Team LOVED the Activity
The team LOVED the activity and our facilitator was wonderful. It was such a great activity and in a way, made us feel like kids again. It was very hands on and collaborative and created an environment where we were working together in a unique way that was the embodiment of “supply chain.” When one team got finished with their section, they were quick to go help another team finish theirs without question or even being asked to do so. It was exciting to see the final product and the way all the segments worked together to create something cool!
