The Pushpin Challenge

Know The Activity

The Pushpin Challenge is a visually captivating team building experience where participants collaborate to create a large mural using nothing but pushpins. Each person contributes a piece of the design, making this activity a powerful metaphor for unity, inclusion, and shared ownership. As the mural takes shape, teams must communicate clearly, plan meticulously, and align their creative efforts to ensure every pin lands with purpose. The process reveals how diverse perspectives, when coordinated effectively, can produce something truly extraordinary. It’s not just about art, it’s about building empathy, breaking silos, and executing a common vision together.
