Solar Quest : Decipher the future and illuminate the world !

In the near future, a mysterious scientist has designed a revolutionary Artificial Intelligence to find the ultimate solution to climate change and energy poverty. After years of calculations and analyses, this AI holds the key to providing clean and sustainable energy to the most vulnerable populations. But a problem remains: its ultra-sophisticated security system prevents access to this precious discovery…

Your mission : as a team, you have 1 hour to decipher the data of the IPCC report and solve a series of puzzles. Logic, cooperation and speed will be essential to unlock the AI and reveal its secret.

But that’s not all! By taking on this challenge, you’re not just proving your skills: you are actually doing something for a better world. At the end of your quest, you will assemble solar lamps that will be sent to children living without electricity in developing countries. These lamps will allow them to study after dark, without the use of dangerous and expensive petrol lamps.

Will you be able to unleash the knowledge of AI and offer a light of hope to those who need it ? The future of the world is in your hands !

Offer your teams a team building with high human value, combining cohesion and commitment. Through puzzles inspired by the IPCC report and the assembly of solar lamps, your employees will live a meaningful and enriching experience. Each lamp will be accompanied by a personalized letter, given to a child in need through the Solar Buddy association, reinforcing the solidarity impact of this activity.

This solidarity and commitment initiative for CSR offers a unique experience, combining concrete action with significant social impact.

After the editing and writing workshop, participants will be able to deepen their reflection through a quiz on the issues of energy poverty, followed by collaborative brainstorming. This time of exchange will result in a video report highlighting ideas for environmental and societal actions adapted to your company.

A memorable activity that will spark discussions well beyond its duration and help to feed your CSR approach!

• Game launch

15 mins

Stage 2: Investigation of the IPCC report

- A mystery box to be opened by completing the riddles on the IPCC report
- The tablet guides the teams through the game
- The winning team is the one that opens the box first and discovers the solar lamps to be assembled.

60 min approx.

Stage 4: Assembling the lamps and writing the letters

- Assembling the lamps, which will then be sent to children living without electricity in developing countries.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the practical benefits of a solar lamp ?

    By assembling solar lamps, your employees are actively helping to improve the daily lives of children and families in developing countries. Each lamp has a lasting impact over 10 years:
    +60% improvement in the overall health of women and children,
    +78% increase in time spent on homework after school,
    1.3 tonnes of CO₂ avoided,
    – 80% reduction in kerosene consumption per family.
    To calculate the impact of your lamps over 10 years in more detail: www.solarbuddy.org/energy-poverty/impact-calculator/

    Team building with a concrete and meaningful impact.

    Can we organise this solidarity team-building activity at a location of our choice ?

    Absolutely, our team will travel to organise your team building event at the location of your choice (reception venue, company premises, etc.), ensuring optimal flexibility for your company.

    How are the assembled lamps distributed to the children ?

    The solar lamps are distributed to children directly through their schools, thanks to members of the NGO Solar Buddy and volunteers involved in humanitarian missions in the field.

    To which countries are solar lamps sent ?

    The solar lamps are sent to countries in Africa, East Asia, Central America, India and Australia.

    What is the environmental impact of manufacturing and shipping solar lamps?

    The solar lamps are transported by ship and road to schools in the beneficiary countries, where they are distributed directly to children by the Solar Buddy association. For example, transporting six lamps (1 kg of goods) from Rotterdam to Singapore generates only 0.001 tonnes of CO₂. In comparison, each lamp saves an average of 1.3 tonnes of CO₂ over 10 years, or 7.8 tonnes for 6 lamps, which is an environmental impact almost 8,000 times greater than that of their transport.

    Does the team-building activity require internet access ?

    For an optimal gaming experience and awareness, a Wi-Fi or 4G connection is ideal. If your team event venue does not have internet access, we can adapt the team building activity, which can also be played offline.
