What the Giant Tangram is
Giant Tangram hire brings an oversized version of the traditional tangram: seven basic geometric pieces that combine into a huge variety of shapes.
The pieces are big enough for several people to handle at once, turning a tabletop classic into a playful, educational and creative group activity.
Team building activities with a giant Tangram for work teams
Seven pieces sounds like very few, until you have to agree on where to put them. A giant Tangram is a really useful tool for team building activities: it forces people to communicate, listen and share out roles, and it does so in a fun, pressure-free way.
- Blind build: only one person on the team sees the model and has to guide the others with words so they can build it. A direct exercise in communication.
- Team race: several groups get the same shape and the first to complete it wins, following a pattern or a teammate's idea.
- No talking: the team builds the shape using only gestures, a challenge that brings out leadership and patience.
- Free creation: each team invents a shape that represents its department or a company value and presents it to the others.
As it needs no technical installation or electricity, the giant wooden tangram can be set up in any room, terrace or garden. It works very well as one challenge in a circuit with other giant games, or as a warm-up activity before a meeting. It is a logic game for companies that shows the result depends on the whole team.

Giant Tangram for museums, cultural centres and shopping centres
Some spaces need an activity that invites people to join in without spoiling the atmosphere: museums, libraries, cultural centres or a shopping centre floor. The giant Tangram fits all of them because it is quiet, educational and highly visual, and needs neither screens nor plugs.
- Museums and cultural centres: an ideal complement to exhibitions on art, design, maths or Eastern culture, bringing the content closer to families.
- Shopping centres: it creates a calm play area where parents and children stop to build shapes together.
- Libraries and open days: an option that blends play and learning, suitable for all ages.
- Parks and community events: as it is suitable for outdoor use, it works in squares and gardens with a flat, stable surface.
Participants can follow patterns or invent their own designs, alone, in pairs or in teams, so the space comes alive without the need for a fixed programme. We bring the giant tangram for museums and public spaces in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain. It is an educational wooden game that boosts creativity and logic almost without anyone noticing.
