Team Fusion

Team Fusion – Hands-On Team Assessment & Communication Challenge

Team Fusion is a unique team assessment tool and group challenge activity designed to strengthen communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Crafted with skillfully hand-made materials, this engaging activity is perfect for groups of four to sixteen participants who are ready to transform from individuals into a unified team.

Features

  • Hand-Crafted Quality: Includes a wooden block and ten chopsticks, designed for tactile, hands-on engagement.

  • Collaborative Challenge: The group’s mission is to insert all ten chopsticks into the block so they are perfectly level—requiring trial, error, and teamwork.

  • Structured Rules: On each turn, a participant may insert or remove two chopsticks, but cannot determine the depth of the holes or move a single chopstick between holes.

  • Verbal-Only Communication: All instructions, strategies, and feedback must be shared verbally—no writing, texting, or digital aids allowed.

  • Flexible Group Size: Ideal for teams of four to sixteen people, making it suitable for classrooms, workshops, retreats, or corporate training.

Why We Love It

  • Builds True Teamwork: The activity’s definition of “fusion”—merging distinct elements into a unified whole—mirrors the journey of a group becoming a team.

  • Sharpens Communication: With only verbal communication allowed, participants must listen, articulate, and collaborate effectively.

  • Encourages Creative Problem-Solving: Success requires teams to experiment, adapt, and develop shared strategies.

  • Memorable & Meaningful: The hands-on challenge and clear visual goal make for a powerful metaphor and a lasting learning experience.
