Extreme Mental Adventure

What is Extreme Teams?

• Extreme Teams

  Extreme Teams is an exciting mix of adventure sports (in a safe, controlled and managed environment) with a series of mental, physical and cognitive challenges set against the clock. There can either be a single adventure or a series of adventures taking place over a single day or spread of a number of days and nights.

  Extreme Teams is about putting people in challenging and fun situations where teams have to work together in order to successfully complete an adventure (a mission).  Extreme Teams is not about hard adventure sports or putting people at risk or in dangerous situations. 

  Extreme Teams has three core elements: 'Extreme', 'Mental' and 'Adventure'. Our definitions of these three core elements are shown here:

• Extreme

  

  Teams may embark upon their adventure day or night whilst undertaking outdoor activities such as mountain biking, night orienteering, canoeing, trail running or by any other means specified. Team should expect anything and everything.

• Mental

  

  During their adventure teams may face strategic, cognitive and cerebral challenges and have to outwit opponents in a battle of strategic minds or to pool their resources to solve a series of visual, mental or logical conundrums.

• Adventure

  

  Teams are given a specified time to achieve their adventure and must work together using the skills, knowledge and information that they collectively possess to achieve their goals or objectives and ultimately complete the Adventure.

  Typically an Adventure can either be a set time of 1½ to 6 hours or several 2-3 hours adventures can be spread over a number of days and nights. The beauty of Extreme Teams is the flexibility that it has to meet any challenging constraints and requirements.
