Puppet Masters

About

In Puppet Masters teams collect kits and props and then examine and discuss construction instructions. They divide into sub-teams to complete the various parts of the puppet. The puppet is assembled, controls affixed and the puppet decorated. Then the team stand the puppet up with the 9 controllers and work to perform simple human actions.

Teams must intelligently break down each seemingly basic task into achievable steps. To succeed, each team becomes a ‘nerve centre’ controlling a myriad of movements to wow colleagues with an effortless performance.
