60-Second Challenge Fit And Expectation Finder
Choose the event shape. The recommendation explains whether the Challenge fits as a headline activity, as part of a wider day, or whether a broader station format suits the scale.
Decision framework
Set 60-Second Challenge expectations as a structured office-friendly event
Map your group size, venue and pacing before treating the setup as confirmed. The activity name does not mean that every attempt lasts one minute.
Check the usable layout
Send room dimensions or photos, table availability, access and noise rules. Keep walkways clear and confirm shelter for any exposed arrival or activity space.
Skill mix beats single-skill spectacle
Tasks involve aim, memory, balance, timing and communication. Ask about individual comfort and access needs so suitable roles and adjustments can be agreed.

Pick The 60-Second Setup For Your Group Size
The format scales, but the rotation logic and team structure change with the group-size band. Use this matrix to size the setup before locking the brief.
| Group size | Team and rotation setup | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Small group | Confirm a workable team count | Ask how turns, waiting time and the seven games fit your activity window. |
| Single-room group | Check station spacing and team turns | Usable room space, tables and clear walking lanes matter more than nominal room capacity. |
| Larger group | Ask about parallel lanes or waves | Equipment and facilitator coverage must support the confirmed rotation plan. |
| Short event window | Check the full seven-game schedule | Include briefing, turns, station changes, resets and results before committing. |
| Company-wide event | Compare a dedicated or combined station plan | Cohesion can assess Challenge and Telematch options against the venue, team count and time available. |
What it feels like
What Participants Actually Experience
A typical sequence to discuss with Cohesion before the final run sheet is agreed.
-
Arrival
Check in, find your team and locate the briefing area, water and rest space.
-
Briefing
Facilitators explain the tasks, safety reminders, completion rules, timing and rotation order. Allow time for questions and a practice demonstration.
-
First rotation
Teams take turns at the first task while the facilitator records completion times. Follow the agreed reset and waiting arrangements.
-
Middle rotations
Teams move through different tasks, sharing roles and following facilitator timing. Flag any comfort or access concern as it arises.
-
Late rotations
Complete the remaining games and check that all required team times have been recorded.
-
Scoreboard reveal
Facilitators add the times, confirm the rankings and hand the results to your organising team.

FAQ
Common planning questions
Does each game last 60 seconds?
No. The event name is retained, but the current games are timed to completion. Times add into team totals and tribe rankings. Cohesion confirms the turn timing and completion rules for your event.
What if some people do not want to participate physically?
Tell Cohesion about access and comfort needs before booking. Discuss suitable roles, rest options and task adjustments; do not assume every station can be completed seated or suits every participant.
Can we run it in the office?
An office or function room may work after its usable space, tables, access and noise rules are checked. Cohesion confirms the station kits and layout in the event plan.
Can we add food?
Yes. The most common pattern is light bites or a buffet at the end. Food should be scheduled before or after the rotation, not during it.
Is it better than Telematch?
Compare the task mix, venue and rotation plan. Both use hosted stations and cumulative completion times, and they can be combined for some larger events. Ask Cohesion to check the fit for your group and time window.
