Here’s an overview on Hells Bells
The objective is for the group to work as a whole to complete a giant 3D working sculpture. Teams do not instantly work out that it’s essential for them to work together and this gradual realisation culminates in a “light bulb” moment of realisation when the penny drops.
Because the game involves solving puzzles using many different disciplines, creating costumes and constructing model sculptures it appeals to the widest range of participants. The key is for all these people to use their individual skills to come together successfully as one big team.
What exactly happens on the Hells Bells event ?
On arrival teams are greeted by the Master of Scrolls. The storyline and objective are introduced. Teams are directed to their team bases where they find a selection of brightly coloured pieces, which will eventually form part of the “working machine”.
The first challenge is in the form of team packs. Each pack contains sections of the overall objective. Teams decipher puzzles and follow clues to make sure that they gather all the pieces and information that they need.
The second challenge is the assembly of the sculptures. Each team has their own beautifully crafted sculpture which creates a “working machine” in its own right. If teams follow their trail of clues correctly and construct their sculptures accurately then all the sculptures come together to create a giant 3D puzzle.
Training and learning outcomes
You will learn a certain amount about your team subconsciously when you take part in the Hells Bells team event. You’ll see your colleagues in a new light, behaving in different ways in a different setting while you’re all having fun.
If you want your team to learn something specific at a conscious level as well as having fun, then Hells Bells is a great training vehicle for many issues. The game can be “paused” at key intervals where the whole group is brought together and the facilitator can introduce and explore progress towards key objectives.
Customer comments
Here are a few comments from event organisers who have chosen Hells Bells
“It really did exceed my expectations; the feedback we’ve had from delegates has been fantastic. Hells Bells highlighted our message effectively: the benefits of working as a team rather than individually, the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.”
The feedback during the afternoon from the team was fantastic. All the guys had a great time and felt as though they got a lot out of it!
I look forward to seeing the CD just for the looks of bewilderment if nothing else!!
Thanks again to you, and the rest of the team for working to such tight deadlines for setting up and packing up and for providing such a great event.”
