How the event works
Teams are tasked with designing and constructing their own soap box vehicle using provided materials. Working to a brief, participants must plan their design, allocate roles and manage the build process effectively. Once construction is complete, teams race their vehicles, putting their design and teamwork to the test. Performance is influenced by both the quality of the build and how well teams have collaborated throughout the process. The experience combines creative thinking with practical execution, culminating in a competitive race event.
This activity provides:
- A hands-on design and build experience
- A combination of creativity, engineering and teamwork
- A structured challenge with a clear build and race objective
- Opportunities to plan, organise and execute as a team
- A competitive race element that drives engagement
- An outdoor experience suited to large-scale events
We make the process simple, enjoyable and professionally managed from the very beginning. Our team works closely with you to understand your objectives, group dynamics and the type of experience you want to create.
On the day, everything is designed to feel engaging, inclusive and easy to take part in, allowing people to relax, get involved and enjoy themselves without pressure or awkwardness.
Behind the scenes, our experienced facilitators and event teams ensure the experience runs smoothly, keeps energy levels high and creates the right balance of interaction, collaboration and fun.
The result is an event that feels natural, well-paced and memorable, bringing people together through shared experiences that strengthen relationships and leave a lasting positive impression.
At BlueSky Experiences, we believe corporate events should feel effortless, engaging and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
We combine high-energy experiences with professional delivery, thoughtful planning and a warm, people-focused approach that makes every group feel looked after. It is not just about running activities. It is about creating an atmosphere where people relax, connect and enjoy spending time together.
What sets us apart is the balance we achieve between serious fun and meaningful experience. Teams leave energised, appreciated and more connected, without the event ever feeling forced, overly corporate or like a training session.
That is why organisations across the UK continue to trust BlueSky Experiences to deliver events that people talk about long after the day is over.
Team Formula creates a dynamic environment where team behaviours are visible through planning, execution and performance. The structure highlights how effectively teams communicate, allocate roles and manage tasks from concept through to delivery. Patterns emerge in how teams approach problem-solving, maintain coordination and adapt their designs. This provides a clear demonstration of how coordinated effort influences output, revealing both strengths and inefficiencies in team performance.
Lack of coordination between planning and execution
Encourages teams to align their design strategy with practical delivery
Ineffective communication during complex tasks
Reinforces clear and consistent information sharing throughout the build process
Poor role allocation within teams
Requires defined responsibilities to ensure efficient task completion
Limited creativity in structured challenges
Provides an open framework that encourages innovation and new ideas
Low engagement in traditional team activities
Creates a hands-on, competitive format that drives participation and ownership
The experience provides a practical reference point for how teams operate when moving from planning to execution.
By reflecting on how designs were developed, how communication was managed and how tasks were coordinated, teams can identify behaviours that improved efficiency and collaboration. Embedding these behaviours into everyday working practices supports stronger alignment, clearer communication and more consistent performance.
