What is Puzzled in the Woods?

The team has a strict time limit to attempt to complete Puzzled in the Woods. There are a number of puzzles to complete, each one requiring a different skill.  Some are physical, some are more cognitive challenges.  They all require team work to succeed. Outdoor Elements instructors will ensure the rules of the game are followed and the team will have to start the task again if the rules have been broken. To help in their mission, the team may pass, simplify or ‘ask the instructor’.

These lifelines may only be used once however and it’s a smart team that plays these at the right time. As the clock counts down the excitement builds. Can your team do it? There’s only one way to find out!
