What is Dragon Dash !?

Dragon Dash ! is an adventure activity designed for educational institutions, easily implemented in various settings like gymnasiums or accommodations. Its primary feature is the flexibility for teams to engage in exciting challenges effectively.
Each team takes on the role of dragons racing to retrieve treasures scattered across different locations. Participants will work together to navigate various “traps” set in the “castle” area of the venue on their quest for treasure. The traps include brain-teasing puzzles and physical activities, ensuring that every member can contribute actively. This experience allows participants to discover new facets of their teammates, enriching their connections through various puzzles and activities, thus fostering deeper interactions.
