CONNECTILES Team Puzzle

You need an activity that gets a small group collaborating, thinking critically and having fun – without you having to facilitate every second of it. Connectiles is that activity. Hand over the tiles, explain the goal and watch your group become completely absorbed in solving it together.

What’s in the Box

• 25 illustrated tiles (14 x 14cm) that form a 5 x 5 grid when correctly assembled
• 80+ cryptic clues connecting the edges of different tiles – some obvious, some delightfully tricky
• A hidden 25-character sentence about teamwork is revealed when the puzzle is complete
• Solution grid and instructions
• Flip the tiles over and scan a QR code to access 25 bonus group activities – ice-breakers, energisers, trust-building exercises, team-building games and debriefing activities

How You’ll Use It

Distribute the tiles to groups of 2 – 12 people and challenge them to assemble the grid as quickly as possible. The cryptic associations spark conversation, debate and creative thinking. Once solved, flip the tiles to unlock a whole second layer of activities you can run immediately. Use it as the centrepiece of a team-building session, to fill transition time, or as a standalone problem-solving challenge. Owing to the cryptic nature of the puzzle, it is ideal for people aged 15 years and older.

Note: this product is also available as a digital download (in two team puzzle versions) for immediate Print+Play use.

Who It’s For
