What Was Our Project?
Our project for the Zawadi Bazaar was to create a telematch-style obstacle course, inspired by the old West German television series Spiel ohne Grenzen. A telematch is a fun, team-based event made up of different physical challenges, designed to encourage teamwork, communication, and friendly competition. We wanted to bring this idea to life in a way that was suitable for everyone — students, parents, even grandparents — making it an inclusive event for all ages.
The obstacle course featured nine mini-challenges, each requiring participants to work together as pairs. Some examples included bouncing ping pong balls into cups, eating donuts tied to strings without using hands, and finding hidden candies in flour using only their faces. Other obstacles involved physical tasks like sponge relays and enduring a 30-second ice water dip. These games were designed to be messy, funny, and energetic, providing entertainment for both participants and spectators.
Participants competed in even-numbered groups, with each pair timed individually. The pair with the fastest time won the challenge and got to put whipped cream on the faces of the losing pair, adding a lighthearted and humorous twist to the competition. The event also allowed for one rematch per group, encouraging perseverance and friendly rivalry.
Overall, the project was designed to entertain, build community spirit, and teach important skills like collaboration and communication, all while giving participants a chance to escape their daily routines and simply have fun.
