Blind Retriever Team Building Exercise

In this fun and challenging blindfold activity, groups are split into smaller sub-teams and must compete against each other to try and retrieve an object. One person is blindfolded in each team and directed by a team mate to try and find the object before the other team do.

One person in each team will be blindfolded and will be given instructions by a team mate to try and find an object. The team that finds the object first, scores a point. The team with the most points at the end of the activity wins the challenge. Only one person from each team is allowed to give commands and no running is allowed. Only blindfolded participants may cross the start line. You cannot try to sabotage the other teams by giving direction to a blindfolded participant not on your team.
