Step back into the sweet days of childhood with The Lemonade Stand Challenge—a refreshing blend of creativity, entrepreneurship, and friendly competition! Inspired by the spirit of young dreamers turned neighborhood legends, this event invites teams to reclaim their inner innovators and build the ultimate lemonade stand empire. Guided by BridgeTheApp™, teams complete fun, interactive trivia, photo, and video challenges to earn the supplies they need to design, market, and sell their own signature lemonade creations. Equal parts nostalgic and energizing, this experience stirs up teamwork, imagination, and plenty of laughter—plus a splash of friendly rivalry.
Event Flow:
- Welcome & Kickoff
• The facilitator sets the scene with upbeat music and a playful throwback to the days of neighborhood lemonade stands.
• Participants are divided into teams, each representing their own budding lemonade business.

- BridgeTheApp™ Challenge Launch
• Teams receive iPads® loaded with BridgeTheApp™, our award-winning gamification platform.
• Through a mix of trivia, video, and photo challenges, teams compete to earn virtual currency.
• The higher their score, the more “money” they can spend at the Lemonade Store to buy creative supplies for their stand.
- Build Your Lemonade Brand
• Teams use their earnings to shop for items like tri-fold boards, balloons, streamers, and markers.
• Each group crafts a lemonade stand façade that reflects their unique brand identity—complete with logos, slogans, and eye-catching décor.
• Optional twist: Teams can add a grown-up spin by crafting spiked lemonade varieties using tequila or vodka (depending on venue and preferences).
- Marketing & Mixology Challenge
• Creativity flows as teams develop a clever marketing campaign—commercial jingles, social media pitches, or over-the-top product launches.
• Judges and other teams circulate to sample the lemonades and admire each stand’s presentation.
• Bonus BridgeTheApp™ challenges may pop up, keeping the energy high and competition fierce.
