Bazooka

Do you call yourself a strategist?

A slice of Activity

Do you call yourself a strategist? Do you feel like you’re always up for a challenge? Try the Bazooka at Discovery Village!

The objective of the game is to remove plastic balls from the top of a barrel by filling it up with pails of water. The barrel only hangs 12 ft above the ground and is full of holes! Of course, you are not allowed to invert the barrel, or turn it to any side, so you need to figure out a strategy and do it soon!

The only way the task can be completed is if the whole team is physically involved otherwise there’s just no way the task can be achieved. Of course, the bigger the team the better, but good luck fitting them all in!

Get Everybody Involved

Bazooka is physically intriguing and requires a lot of cooperation and strategic planning during a corporate day outing or family outing in Bangalore. Most of the team has to be involved in one job, which may be a boring job, but it is one of the most essential tasks to get the job done. It will be interesting to see how many people will volunteer and who needs to be told to make the sacrifice for the team. How many people and who will be involved in hoisting the person up to the top of the barrel to fill the water. How will your team decide to achieve this in the quickest and easiest way? How will they fill the barrel and with what?
