Drone on poker tower

Can flimsy playing cards lift a drone—and your team’s spirit? In this high-stakes challenge, groups construct a launch pad from giant cards, embedding corporate values into the design (e.g., "Ace =Accountability"). With only staplers and scissors, they’ll learn that true innovation isn’t about resources, but resourcefulness. When the drone finally ascends from paper wings, so does team confidence.  

How to Play:  

1. Build Against Time: Create a 1m+ tall drone pad using only cards/staples  

2. Values Engineering: Encode your culture into the structure (e.g., "Queen = Quality")  

3. Launch Test: The real win? Seeing your paper masterpiece hold firm under rotor winds

Experience: 

1. Scarcity Breeds Genius-When staples run low, creativity spikes high.  

2. Culture in 3D-Turn vague "values" into load-bearing card architecture.  

3. Collapse = Progress-Each crash teaches why cross-bracing beats complaining.  

4. Tower of Babel? No-Engineers and poets finally speak the same language.  

5. Shared joy-That first successful launch? Priceless team adrenaline.  

That paper tower won’t last forever, but the lesson will: Under pressure, ordinary teams fold—but extraordinary ones crease, reinforce, and ultimately lift each other up.
