• Team entry for up to 10 colleagues

Designed to test both mental agility and physical skill, teams will take on a series of fast paced challenges across a range of Crystal Challenge task zones. Working against the clock, participants must communicate effectively, think creatively, and work together to collect as many crystals as possible. Every challenge offers the opportunity to win up to three crystals, with bonus crystals available for exceptional teamwork and collaboration along the way.

As the competition heats up, teams will battle it out to secure a place in the grand finale, the Crystal Challenge Dome. Here, the top performing teams will step inside the swirling dome to collect as many gold tickets as possible before time runs out, while avoiding silver tickets that could cost valuable points. With medals awarded to the top three teams, the event will finish with a celebration worthy of the champions.

More than just a team building event, The Crystal Challenge is an opportunity for businesses to come together, strengthen workplace connections, and support the Bright Garden Appeal. Together, the appeal is helping to create brighter experiences and environments for patients, families, and communities across the North East.

Whether you’re aiming for glory in the dome or simply looking for a memorable day out with colleagues, The Crystal Challenge promises fun, excitement, and plenty of laughs from start to finish. Gather your team and prepare to take on the challenge!
