Mouse Trap
Mouse Traps: Building Trust in Systems, Peers, and Ourselves
Mouse Traps is a progressive team building activity that explores one of the most critical yet fragile elements of high-performing teams — trust. Through a series of increasingly complex challenges, participants experience firsthand what it means to trust a system, place confidence in a partner, and work in harmony with a larger group, even when the stakes feel high.
At each stage, participants confront their own beliefs about risk, control, and support. Whether guiding someone without physical touch or collaborating with teammates to build a delicate structure under pressure, the activity reflects the real-world dynamics of system adaptation, communication under stress, and mutual accountability.
Mouse Traps is ideal for organizations navigating change, rebuilding team alignment, or exploring the connection between emotional safety and performance.
