Toxic Waste
Equipped with a bungee cord and rope, a group must work out how to transport a bucket of “Toxic Waste” and tip it into the “neutralization” bucket. Toxic Waste can be used to highlight almost any aspect of teamwork or leadership.
Mine Fields

Survivor Scenario
A nuclear bomb has been dropped…a radiation-free shelter is available, but can only take 6 people; choose who will survive… A classic group communication & decision making exercise. People get intensely engaged because the “survival stakes” are high and none of the decisions are easy. Works for a wide variety of ages and purposes, indoors or outdoors.
