Team Building

Igloo building

Teams compete by using blocks of snow to build a dome-shaped igloo, the quality of which will depend on how sturdily the blocks are made and how well they are laid. Members will need to work together to build the best igloo within the specified time. Afterwards, participants can sit inside the warm igloos and enjoy a hot drink.

Infomation

Rule

Teams of 4 to 8 members pack snow into molds to create blocks, which are then piled up to build an igloo. The first three rows are laid straight but, from the 4th row the bocks are cut using a saw and laid at an angle to create the dome-shaped roof. The size of the igloo is up to each team (a 1.5 m-diameter igloo requires 100–150 blocks).
