Rube Goldberg

Creative and fun mechanical engineering, which does not lack a competitive moment.

The goal is to create a machine that performs a simple task in the most complex way possible within a precisely given time.

All teams receive a certain number of selected tools and materials from the game leader, from which they must build a balloon-busting machine that complies with the rules. During the game, you communicate effectively with your teammates, plan and try to reach the most complex solutions. To be successful, you have to be creative and think outside the box.

As a result, the built machines are presented to everyone else. Excitement and emotion abound as this is a game where participants can rediscover their inner engineer and challenge their creativity.

Where does Rube Goldberg fit in?

Rube Goldberg machine building works best as an extra activity for a large event. Also combined with an adventure game or as the main activity for a smaller event. Rube Goldberg goes especially well with disc golf or an escape room. Then the teams rotate between games.
