The Galactic Games
Strength, mind and spirit: an interplanetary sports day played on your team's phones.
About
The Galactic Council has summoned the planets to the Interplanetary Games. Each team is a planet, and only those that win all three medals, Strength, Mind and Spirit, will be written into the Galactic Hall of Fame.
The games run on GoQuest, TeamTika’s team game app, with each planet on a phone or tablet. Three venues host the contest: the Arena of Strength on Mars, the Academy of Minds on Saturn’s rings and the Stage of Spirit in the middle of the Milky Way. The 12 tasks mix a relay of light and a push-up record with space quizzes and number sequences, then finish with a planet anthem, an epic cheer and a star formation photo.
Points land live on the big screen, and the cheers recorded in the last round make a perfect closing reel.
It brings the energy of a sports day without needing a sports field.
Learning outcomes
The Arena of Strength counts everyone's effort, not just the fittest person's, so teams quickly see that the team total is what wins.
The Academy of Minds rewards teams that pool knowledge on planets, light and patterns, then agree before answering once.
Writing an anthem and staging a cheer gives every planet an identity, which is a fast route to team pride.
The final thank-you to teammates ends the games on recognition rather than just results.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can take part?
We run up to 30 teams per event, each playing on its own phone or tablet. Players join in the phone browser with a game code, so there is nothing to install. Tell us your headcount and we will suggest team sizes.
How long does the program take?
About 90 minutes of play, plus a short briefing at the start and the leaderboard reveal at the end.
Is it very physical?
Only a little. The Strength round has a relay and a push-up or squat record, but the Mind and Spirit rounds balance it out so everyone can take part.
Can this be run indoors or outdoors?
Both. The tasks only need the app and things found nearby, so it works in a meeting room, a hotel ballroom, a resort or a garden.
Is the game available in Vietnamese?
Yes. The Galactic Games has full English and Vietnamese versions, and we set the language for each event.
