A colourful and engaging programme guaranteed to get everyone participating.

Dynamic synergy, creative engineering, and total group participation make this one of the most spectacular team building spectacles available.
The Cardboard TRAIN-ing Express is a colourful and engaging programme guaranteed to get every single person participating. Teams are tasked with building a full-sized, animated train — complete with locomotive, caboose, and cars — that is capable of transporting every person on your team.
Teams must maintain a clear collective vision and delegate tasks amongst themselves throughout the build. This activity requires using human capital effectively, managing a diverse and dynamic working environment, and demonstrating that moving together takes great communication and leadership. The result is one of the most visually spectacular and photogenic team building outcomes of any corporate event.
Teams are formed and briefed on the engineering challenge ahead — each team builds one section of the train (locomotive, cars, or caboose). The sections must connect and work together as one complete train.
Teams work with cardboard, tape, and craft supplies to build their full-sized animated train section. They must maintain a clear collective vision, delegate tasks effectively, and coordinate dimensions with adjacent teams.
All train sections are connected into one complete full-sized train capable of transporting every person on your team. The grand reveal and group photo aboard the completed train is a spectacular finale.
The Cardboard Train-ing Express literally requires every section to fit together — cross-team coordination and communication are essential throughout.
Building a full-sized, animated, decorated cardboard train is one of the most visually impressive and creatively demanding team building outcomes available.
Your team loves building and constructing together. This activity produces one of the most tangible, impressive, and photogenic results of any team building event.
