Description
Looking for an original team building near Evian and Thonon-les-Bains?
🏎️ Push Car, the soapbox car race, challenges teams of 8 to build their own car from the kit provided, decorate it, then race it down the track.
🎨 With a costume shop, an elegance contest and a final race, creativity counts as much as speed.
🤝 A team-bonding challenge full of laughs, in Haute-Savoie.
- 2h30 to 3h00
- 10 to 300 participants
📍 The location adapts to your accommodation: we run Push Car close to where you’re staying.
⏱️ Allow 2 to 2.5 hours.
👥 The activity welcomes groups of 10 to 300 people, split into teams of 8 who build their car together.
📅 It runs all year round, outdoors.
🔧 You build with cardboard, tape, tubes and paint, then decorate with no limits.
🛍️ Mario and Luigi’s shop lets you haggle for upgrades to your vehicle: horns, costumes, stickers…
🏁 The challenge ends with an elegance contest, then the race: prizes go to the fastest, but also to the most original. Your car will need to balance style and efficiency, and survive the bumps against the others.
🧠 You mostly need patience and ingenuity, and it’s a great way to unwind as a team.
