What's New?

Banzai!
This is about as interactive as any show can get. Not only do teams have to bet on the right answers, but they will on occasions be “invited” to stage their own challenges. Our version of Banzai is completely mad, and is more like a comedy show than anything else. You’ve only got to look at our compère!

There will be a series of rounds and teams have to bet (points/fun money) on the outcome of various propositions. These will either be projected onto a giant screen or acted out live in the room.

Teams have to evaluate how to risk their money, or simply throw caution to the wind, but beware: the unexpected can often come up trumps! Who says all light entertainment is derivative with shows such as Banzai around?

Out of This World
This is a totally unique and bespoke event developed by M&MR to be run at the National Space Centre at Leicester. It is a fascinating ‘hands-on experience’ devoted to space science and astronomy, and was yet again voted Large Visitor Attraction of the Year last year for the 3rd year running.

“Out Of This World” consists of a collection of challenges facing the group during their day at the National Space Centre, each of which will require different skills and individuals to come to the fore. Some of the challenges include:

• Redesiging team members as “Aliens” using the Space Centre’s specialist booth
• Successfully landing a lunar module using a simulator located on the 4th floor in “Project Apollo”
• Taking a simulated ride to Jupiter in the Spaceflight Induction Module – adrenalin inducing!
• Driving a radio controlled Moon Buggy around a specialist course
• Demonstrate the effects of zero gravity as you “moon walk”
  in the “Tranquillity Base”

The War Room Hunt
The Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms in London are ideal for team building activities such as the War Room Hunt. Over a 2-3 hour period each team is tasked with working their way through a series of progressive clues around a dedicated route (each team’s route is different so that although they will interact with others en route they will not be slavishly following each other).

In order to fulfil the task, the team must find out various pieces of information about Churchill, the war rooms and local attractions. They must also take a number of photographs of cryptic items listed in their team packs, either as a photographic “scavenger hunt” or – in the style of “The Apprentice” – replicating certain existing photos but with the team themselves appearing in the pictures (this will involve negotiation and guile with any number of organisations in the area).

Calendar Boys & Girls
Using digital or original Victorian camera equipment, teams will be tasked with taking & developing a series of original compositions of themselves in a 12 different poses… requiring creativity, planning and learning the original techniques of earliest photography, this is an unusual and fascinating challenge.

The theme of the overall compositions is up to you, but recent “favourites” have included Heroes From History and “In The Flesh”

Quality and humour are essential, as once all 12 photos are complete, we then develop them into wall or desktop calendars – these are sent on to the attendees with a view to providing them with both a memento of the day (which could be sold on for charity?) and a long-lasting testament to what can be achieved with close co-operation and teamwork.

Wacky Races – Pedal Kart Spectacular!
Remember Dastardly, Muttley & Penelope Pitstop? Well here’s your chance to re-enact the plot as you attempt – in teams – to race each other “around the globe” to become the “World’s Wackiest Racer”.

This challenge involves the teams racing, a full-sized pedal powered kart. Each kart has a solid frame onto which the teams have to fix all the necessary components and details, including the all–important sidekick!

In addition, these karts need to look as much like the original vehicles as possible (e.g. the Boulder Mobile, Creepy Coupe, Compact Pussycat and Mean Machine). The closer the vehicles look to the originals, AND the closer the drivers look like the original costumed characters the further up the track they will start.  Saying that, Lap penalties will be added for any infringements of the rules. Drat, drat & double drat!!!!
