This week, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting the incredible crew from Mt Hutt here at Ninja Valley Christchurch for an epic Team-Building session designed to energize, connect, and prepare them for their busiest time of year—welcoming tens of thousands of snow-loving guests to the slopes!

With the winter season fast approaching, this dynamic team took a strategic break from the mountains to dive into 2 hours of non-stop challenge, connection, and collaboration inside New Zealand’s largest indoor playground. Coach Coby led the session, guiding them through a custom-built programme packed with physical puzzles and mental tests designed to sharpen communication, strengthen trust, and reinforce teamwork—everything they’ll need when the snow starts falling.

The session kicked off in the Board Room with a warm welcome and a fast-paced icebreaker: the Human Knot. It was hands-on (literally!) and set the tone for the rest of the session—creative thinking, problem-solving, and a whole lot of laughter.

From there, the crew moved through our Arena, tackling challenges like:

🟣 Foam Stack: A test of memory, strategy, and verbal communication as teams raced to replicate hidden foam block patterns—no peeking allowed!

🟠 Ninja Trick Wall: Each team worked together to scale our towering trick wall, proving that no one gets left behind when you're climbing to success—literally.

🔵 Blindfold Climbing: Trust was everything as teammates guided each other up the wall using only words, reinforcing the importance of clear, calm communication under pressure.

🔴 Chopsticks & Leap of Faith: Designed to push limits and encourage personal growth, these challenges reminded everyone of the power of courage and mutual support when facing their fears.

🟡 Foam Relocate: A high ropes relay that had teams coordinating movements and transferring foam blocks high above the arena floor, requiring timing and teamwork.

Reflections and Free Play:

After pushing physical and mental boundaries, the team wound down with a debrief and free play session. From bouncing on Olympic trampolines to soaring down the slides, they finished their visit with big smiles and stronger bonds.
