You have a marble and a bunch of objects. Can you create a chain reaction?

The expression, Rube Goldberg machine, is named after the American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, whose cartoons often depicted devices that performed simple tasks in indirect convoluted ways.
Teams of contestants construct elaborate Rube Goldberg-style chain-reaction machines on tables arranged around a large room. They use what's given from strings to dominoes, to sticks to create it.
Each apparatus is linked to its predecessor and successor machine. The initial string is ceremonially pulled or an item is pushed, and it creates a chain reaction. After the entire cascade of events has finished, prizes are then awarded in various categories for the team.
It's simple and hard at the same time, making it great for the teams.

"Teamland provided a great virtual team building experience for my colleagues. Bingo with a side of trivia was fun for everyone, and Najeeb was a very engaging host. It was great to have the experience contained within a single platform. Looking forward to booking another event with Teamland in the near future!"

"We were looking for options to host a team social party and didn't know what to do. Teamland not only had several options, but they took to the care to respond to me directly and find out what's best for my company. I really appreciate how quickly Teamland got this event planned and running. They took care of all the details and our team simply showed up and played. The team loved the experience and I'd highly recommend Teamland to others!"
