Using beams, ropes, and scattered stepping rocks, teams navigate toward a central island. It begins as a competition, but as obstacles grow, cooperation becomes essential. Teams must shift from individual thinking to collective action. The journey culminates in unlocking a shared treasure chest that rewards unity and teamwork.
