BOMS Challenge

Know The Activity

BOMS stands for Body, Mind, and Sole. Not soul. Sole, as in running shoes, as in getting up, getting out, and getting moving. The BOMS Challenge is a virtual team activity that refuses to let a screen be an excuse for sitting still. Teams are broken into smaller groups and handed a list of physical tasks, mental puzzles, and running challenges that they complete in their own space and share back with the group through photos and videos. The result is a rolling, laughter-filled stream of teammates doing ridiculous, impressive, and surprisingly creative things, all while competing for points and genuinely showing up for each other.

Why should you choose it?

Breaks the mould of passive virtual participation by getting people physically moving from wherever they are

Covers all three dimensions of a person, body, mind, and running endurance, so every type of participant has a moment to shine

The photo and video sharing format creates real, spontaneous, and often hilarious team moments

Pre-event challenges build momentum and team bonding before the main activity even begins

Works seamlessly across cities, time zones, and living room sizes

Result

BOMS does something most virtual activities cannot: it gets people out of their chairs. By the time the final scores are tallied and the best moments are shared back with the group, teams will have moved their bodies, stretched their minds, and laughed harder than they expected to on a regular workday. The shared experience of seeing colleagues complete challenges in their own environments, with all the spontaneity and imperfection that comes with it, creates a warmth and closeness that polished virtual formats rarely achieve.

Learning Outcome

Holistic Engagement: Participate as a whole person, physically, mentally, and energetically, not just as a face on a screen

Creative Thinking: Interpret and complete challenges in ways that reflect your personality and resourcefulness

Team Spirit: Rally behind teammates, celebrate their efforts, and compete with genuine enthusiasm from a distance

Communication: Share, document, and present challenge completions in ways that keep the whole group connected and entertained

Resilience and Adaptability: Push through physical and mental challenges in an uncontrolled, real-world environment where nothing is perfectly set up

Expect a mix of physical challenges that get the body moving, mental puzzles that demand focus and creativity, and running or movement-based tasks that test endurance and determination. Every category has something for every kind of participant.

Teams can be broken into groups and given warm-up challenges in the days leading up to the main event. This builds team identity, friendly rivalry, and genuine anticipation before the BOMS Challenge officially kicks off.

No special equipment is needed. The challenges are designed to be completed using whatever is available in and around a participant’s everyday environment, which is exactly what makes the results so entertaining.

That it was the first virtual team activity that actually made them move. Seeing colleagues complete challenges in their homes, gardens, and neighbourhoods strips away the professional veneer and shows people as they really are. That kind of authenticity does more for team connection than almost anything else.
