The Chocolate Challenge

This series of chocolate-themed team building activities was created for a specific Verizon event at the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA. Since then, we’ve shared it with hundreds of other teams. It always leaves people smiling.

Why this event?

Chocolate + team building = the best thing since peanut butter met jelly.
Our Chocolate Challenge offers a delicious blend of friendly competition, lively challenges, and edible engineering. That’s right – your group will be working in small teams to design and construct bridges made of 100% pure chocolate. The winning team will leverage creativity, group participation, and effective collaboration successfully. Of course, a durable bridge structure also helps.

From beginning to end, this event is designed to lift spirits and reignite the creative spark we all carry deep inside. Other chocolatey challenges include full-contact Chocolate Bingo and CSI Chocolate. This is another great example of harnessing the power of play to build morale among co-workers. It also clears the way for better communication, innovation, and strong working relationships.

Think of this as a super-sweet way to energize a sales conference or retreat, or to simply reward your group for a job well done. When a world-class chocolatier like Godiva puts you in charge of their team building event, you know you’re doing something right.

"The team with TeamBonding was friendly, enthusiastic and very entertaining. The entire process from securing TeamBonding to the completion of the actual events went smoothly and without a hitch. The Chocolate Challenge was hysterical, fun, messy and your really had to trust your team members - which was one of our key objectives for our offsite event. I strongly recommend TeamBonding for any company team building event!!"

"I was a bit skeptical at first about this "team bonding" not thinking my Type A Board would embrace the chocolate bridge building. Boy was I wrong! They rose to the challenge and enjoyed working together and a good natured competition! Derek was our facilitator and was great! Funny, engaging and knew how to get the crowd involved. This was a great experience!"
