The challenge:

It’s a wild adventure. How far will you go? What are your limits in an unusual and sometimes difficult environment? Will you survive this journey into the unknown?

Build a makeshift boat, set off into the unexplored world, without provisions or a compass, and cross the Pacific Ocean… That’s the challenge the crew took up. You don’t have to do the same… but almost!

Your team becomes a crew and has to equip itself with a sturdy and above all waterproof vessel to cross a vast expanse of water, or simply a pool, a shallow pond, a small river?

All the materials and plans for your boat are available to the teams: cardboard, scotch tape, plastic sheeting… All that’s left to do is get organized to build a boat, and… off you go!

Together, team members must demonstrate their cohesion, team spirit and resource management skills to meet this challenge and reach the other side.
