The It's a knockout games take place in a central arena, which is surrounded by bunting and has an administration zone and tent at one end. At a small extra cost the teams can be supplied with coloured bibs/T-shirts to identify them. The teams compete against each other for Funny Money!
The races are fast and furious and the tournament is split into 3 zones where everyone can come and watch. A scoreboard is also provided and teams can also play their Joker once to earn double points. The tournament is typically split into 3 x 1 hour slots.
Zone A: Human Table Football Tournament:
This is a giant inflatable version of the popular pub game and is hilarious fun! Humanplayers are attached by Velcro to plastic poles, which slide from side to side across a pitch with inflatable sides. Team sizes can range from 5 to 10 aside. Great fun for It’s A Knockout Activity Days or as a standalone event- but beware of the referee! Players have been known to be given the Red Cardfor having scary hair or even a beard! The teams will compete against each other in a round robin style tournament using up to two units- cash will be awarded for goals scored and general footballing style!
Zone B: Superstars Team Challenge!
Six teams will line up together and face a series of in line Team Challenges to determine the winners. The games call for strong teamwork and cooperation. Firstly the team must negotiate the tricky Spiders Web before tackling the crocodile infested Gorge! Once safely across the Gorge they must race to their final team challenge- Blindfold Tent Erection! The first team to have two blindfolded members erect the tent and get safely inside are declared the overall winners!
Don’t forget- all of the Team Challenges are laid out in a line and the teams compete head to head so it is easy to see who is winning and who is losing!
Spiders Web: Hidden in the trees is a giant bungy web. The whole team have to pass through it without touching the web and alerting the spider! This is a very popular task that involves the whole team working together.
Gorge Crossing: Faced with an imaginary 200ft deep, crocodile infested gorge, the team have to get safely across using the equipment provided. This is hard enough but what if one of the team steps on an unseen mine and has to be stretched across?
Blindfold Tent Erection: A brilliant game to finish with! The teams have to elect one male and one female member who are then blindfolded and led to a restricted area. Inside is a Tent and then the sighted members of the team have to issue instructions on how to erect it!
The final winners of the Superstars Team Challenge Zone are the team that gets their two blindfolded members to put the tent up first and get in it!
Zone C: It’s A Knockout Team Games!
A selection of quick fire knockout games that take place head to head. These include the following:
Game 1. Obstacle skis - Three people on each pair – the teams have to complete a course and hand over to the next three members of the team. Teamwork is essential!
Game 2. Wiggle – A quick fire game that demands teamwork and coordination. The teams form a circle holding hands and have an inner tube hanging over one pair of arms. The aim is to pass the tube around the circle without releasing each other’s hands- watch out for knots!
Game 3. Grenade Launcher! - Using the equipment provided, the teams have to construct an egg launcher. Not only do the teams have to fire the egg across into the target area but they also have to catch it to earn maximum points or cash! The team that gets it closest to the centre of the target zone earns the most money.
Game 4. Blindfold Obstacle Challenge! – You’ve all seen or heard of “One Man and His Dog”. Well this is like sheepdog handling except with people instead! The blindfolded members of the team have to be guided through the obstacle course collecting objects on the way through. Watch out for the Tunnel of Darkness!
Game 5. Caterpillar Tracks - Six members of each team stand inside the Caterpillar track (like a giant tank track) holding it above their heads. Several teams can compete at the same time, racing each other down a slalom course. The teams have to walk in unison or the inevitable fall will occur! Non participating members of the team can “coach” the others!
Game 6. Welly Wanging and Egg’n’Spoon Racing – No It’s A Knockout is complete without these two favorites! The Egg’n’Spoon Race includes and obstacle challenge and bonus marks are awarded for “wanging style!”
The It’s A Knockout Package is suitable for up to 12 teams and we suggest team sizes of 8-10. For larger groups please contact us for a tailored proposal.
