How Festive Challenge Chest Works

What are the rules of Festive Challenge Chest?

On receiving their Festive Challenge Chest, teams must crack a cryptic clue to unlock it. They must then race other teams and the clock to compete a range of mind-bending challenges.

Who is Festive Challenge Chest for?

This corporate festive event works for both large and small groups. It can serve as a quick-fire energiser or a more involved team-building experience.

How long does Festive Challenge Chest last?

The Festive Challenge Chest typically takes between an hour and 90 minutes.

Working with Maximillion has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for our organisation. Over the course of our 5-year collaboration they have expertly delivered a range of online and in-person events for us, including large-scale conferences and stand builds, internal staff gatherings, and engaging team away days. Their attention to detail, creativity, and seamless execution were evident in every event they organised for us. Whether managing the logistics of a high-profile conference or crafting memorable team-building experiences during away days, their professionalism and dedication shone through.

Vicki Sharpe, Head of Marketing

Jenny and her team led a truly fantastic event. Despite our very limited preparation time relative to the scale of the project, Jenny remained completely unphased. She provided exceptional support throughout the process, and I truly believe she was instrumental in helping us achieve such a successful event at The Belfry!

Amie Walton – Chief of Staff

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lake District. Jenny & Rhys are extremely easy to work with and made both our Wednesday evening boat cruise and Thursday team building events, evening meal and band fun and enjoyable for all who attended. We would definitely use them again.Thank you Maximillion.

Resolis

Massive thank you to Rhys & Mike for creating a professional and overall enjoyable experience for our team. Throughout the entire process they worked hard to ensure our values and needs were met on the day. The delivery of the events was incredibly well received and I can safely say I would be glad to book with Maximillion again.

Thenue Housing Association

Maximillion ran the Urban Adventure for our teams with the activity run in Edinburgh city centre and the feedback has been nothing but positive. The activity brought teams together from different offices and different business areas and was a great way for everyone to get to know each other in a fun and informal activity.

Nucleus Financial

Very well organised in the lead up and on the day of the event. Clear communication throughout! The team delivered a fantastic Highland Games event on the day that everyone enjoyed. Thanks to Mike, Rhys and the team!

TotalEnergies

Everyone had a really good time and loved all the different levels and variety that Level-Up brought. Maximillion always provide an excellent event and guide you through the organising process with clarity, confidence and advice.

Davidson Chalmers Stewart

The general comment today in the office is how amazing the event was and how much fun people had.

University of Edinburgh

Thank you to Mike, Ross and Sandy from Maximillion for the team building in the afternoon, murder mystery that evening, Belbin Team Roles next morning, a fantastic team building session in the afternoon and, finally, a great barbecue that evening provided by Norton House. Although some of us were a bit slow of the mark the second day, the same positive attitude and enthusiasm from day one prevailed and I think we all got something out of it. It was clear to me that everyone was communicating and working together better by the end of the afternoon.
