Two Tribes
Teams dress up in tribal regalia and compete in an indigenous games Olympiad
About
To begin, your entire group forms two opposing tribes, one red and one blue. Each tribe then creates an equal number of smaller sub teams. The action kicks off with a ‘warm up’ where teams create their own bespoke tribal regalia. Dressed to impress, each team then rotates through a circuit of ‘quests’, competing head to head with teams from the opposing tribe. Points accumulated by the teams contribute to their tribe’s total score. Strategy is key to success - the rules enable teams to play to their strengths, resting chosen players during some challenges in order to reserve strength for their preferred quests.
In the closing ceremony the red and blue tribes face off for a final Haka showdown. The highest performing team from each quest and the overall winning tribe are announced. The Two Tribes are united and celebrate their many achievements.
