What Is The Olympiad Challenge

The Olympic Games might take place every four years, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait that long to feel the excitement, energy, competitive spirit, and sense of community they inspire.

With The Olympiad Challenge, you and your group can take the stage and compete for gold at your very own Olympics-style team building event.

Your group will break out into “nations,” choosing your national symbol and creating a custom flag before partaking in an Olympic Oath rooted in integrity, fairness, and sportsmanship. Next, you’ll tackle challenges inspired by the ancient athletic games using supplies provided in your team bag, earning points for each one successfully completed.

The team who earns the most points throughout the competition will be named Olympiad Challenge Champions!

The Olympiad Challenge Agenda

Welcome

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.

10 minutes

Team Formation + The Olympic Oath

Participants form teams, create their own countries, and design a flag. Each team takes the Olympic Oath, pledging to uphold integrity, fairness, and sportsmanship. The competition then begins!

15 minutes

Olympiad Challenge

Teams compete in 20 challenges spread across four colored quadrants. These challenges, inspired by ancient athletic games, utilize supplies from the team bag and include both mental and physical tasks. Teams select the challenges they wish to undertake, with some being head-to-head and others self-guided. Event hosts will assist as needed. Points are awarded for successfully completed challenges.

90-120 minutes

Wrap Up, Recognition and Photo Op

Teams will reconvene to exchange experiences and review their efforts. The event host will facilitate discussions on key takeaways and lessons learned, culminating in the announcement of the winning team. Winning teams will be awarded Outback Team Building medals. The event will wrap up with  congratulations all around to commemorate a successful event.

The Olympiad Challenge Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if we have inclement weather on the day of our activity? (For outdoor activities)

We appreciate that weather is not always predictable, so we have a back-up plan in the event of poor weather.  We can switch your event to our indoor app-based Team Pursuit event at no extra charge.  You would need to arrange a backup space for the activity, and we need notice of 2 hours to make the switch.

What if I need to change the date of my event?

We understand that plans can change, so please reach out as early as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Date changes may incur a change fee, please reach out to your Sales Engagement Consultant to discuss further.

Where do these events take place?

Our events can take place anywhere. We have event coordinators located across North America who can come directly to you—whether it’s your office, a venue of your choice, a meeting space, or a unique location that best suits your needs. We’re flexible and ready to make your event seamless, no matter the location!

What if I need to make a last-minute change to my activity?

Depending on what the change is, we recommend discussing all changes with your dedicated Event Manager to see if we can accommodate the change.
