Fly Out Team Building Activity: Build, Race, and Lead as One
The Fly Out Team Building Activity is an exciting and strategic challenge that transforms teamwork into a full-speed adventure. Designed for organizations looking to boost collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, this hands-on experience tasks teams with building, branding, and racing a 1:4 scale cardboard airplane—while navigating real-time decision-making and obstacles.
One of the most unique simulations in the TalentEx lineup, the fly out decision-making challenge blends construction, coordination, and competition into a powerful team development exercise.
What Is the Fly Out Activity?
In this immersive team building game, participants receive a flat-pack kit with materials and plans to construct a life-sized airplane made entirely of cardboard. Teams must assign roles, manage resources, and follow a blueprint to build the structure—while balancing time, accuracy, and creativity.
Once completed, teams personalize their aircraft using custom decals, colors, and logos, creating a strong sense of identity and pride. But that’s just the beginning.
The real test begins during the race phase. Teams must navigate their planes through a designated obstacle course, using speed, precision, and flawless coordination to reach the finish line. The team with the best time and smoothest navigation wins.
How the Fly Out Decision-Making Challenge Works
- Briefing and Team Formation
Teams are formed and briefed on objectives, rules, and safety protocols. A clear goal is set: build the best-performing plane within the time limit. - Plane Construction Phase
Teams begin assembling their aircraft using the provided kit. This phase demands effective communication, time management, and delegation of roles. - Customization and Identity
Once built, each team personalizes their plane—choosing team colors, logos, and names to express creativity and unity. - Race and Obstacle Navigation
The race begins! Teams must carry or guide their aircraft through an obstacle course, staying in sync and managing turns, barriers, and balance. - Debrief and Team Reflection
After the challenge, a facilitator leads a group discussion to reflect on decision-making, leadership, and group dynamics during the game.
