The ultimate gingerbread house team building activity!

Gingerbread House Hunters is the ultimate gingerbread house competition that brings out your team’s creativity and resourcefulness in a deliciously fun way! In this fully-facilitated event, your group will be divided into small teams to take on the gingerbread house challenge. Each team is tasked with designing and building a show-stopping gingerbread house. We provide all the edible construction materials you’ll need, from gingerbread pieces and icing to a variety of candy, sprinkles, and other festive decorations.

Teams compete in holiday-themed trivia and other mental challenges to earn points, which they can exchange for extra building supplies to enhance their creations. With just one hour on the clock, teams must work together to construct their masterpieces before presenting them to our panel of judges.
