How Operation Windfall Works
Team Get Their Brief
You start in small teams with one goal - build a wind-powered machine that can lift weight off the ground. You’ll get a clear design challenge, a time limit, and a limited budget to work with. It’s fast-paced from the start.
Win Budget Through Problem Solving
Before you build anything, you’ll need to earn your budget. That means solving a series of logic and physical challenges against the clock. The better your team works together, the more currency you’ll earn for materials.
Buy Your Materials
You’ll use your winnings at the on-site supply station. Every team has the same options, so it comes down to your decision-making. Pick smart. Overspend and you’ll run short. Underspend and your design might not hold up.
Build and Test Your Design
Once you’ve got your parts, you start building. Some teams go straight in. Others sketch first. It doesn’t matter how you work, as long as your machine can catch wind and lift. You’ll test and adjust as you go - under pressure.
Compete for the Win
All machines go head-to-head in the final test. We measure lift, stability, and design approach. You’ll get a quick debrief too, looking at what worked and what didn’t. Great for team building if you want to highlight communication, planning, or decision-making under pressure.
