Looking for field trip ideas that get students up, moving, and thinking together? BRKTHROUGH turns an outing into a hands-on challenge: teams solve 40+ immersive rooms that reward teamwork, problem solving, and creative thinking. For school groups, clubs, and teen programs with older students, it is a memorable way to learn by doing.
What makes BRKTHROUGH a great field trip idea?
BRKTHROUGH is a hands-on field trip where students learn by doing. Teams of 2 to 4 tackle 40+ challenge rooms that blend physical, mental, and skill-based tasks, so communication, problem solving, and collaboration happen naturally. The energy stays high, and every student contributes, which makes the day both fun and meaningful.
What does a field trip include?
Field trips include an event coordinator and 2 hours of gameplay, and the events team can share current package details. Groups start at 20 guests and visit on weekday mornings, with start times no later than 11:00 AM. Your coordinator helps you plan the visit, so teachers and group leaders can focus on their students.
Which groups are a good fit?
BRKTHROUGH is designed with teens and adults in mind, and its supervision rules make field trips simplest for older students: players 10 and under need an adult on their team, and players 11 to 14 need an adult present in the building. High school classes, clubs, athletic teams, teen programs, college groups, and adult learning cohorts all enjoy the teamwork and problem solving the rooms demand, and each room rewards a different mix of strengths.
Ask your event coordinator to confirm the best fit for your group’s ages.
What skills do students practice?
Each room asks teams to figure out a new challenge together. Students practice communication, problem solving, creative thinking, and cooperation, all under a friendly countdown. Because rooms are short and replayable, teams learn from a miss and try again right away. That quick feedback loop turns the field trip into a real lesson in teamwork.
How do teams and scoring work?
Students form teams of 2 to 4 and collect RFID wristbands, then tap into any room with a green light. Each room offers up to 100 points, and screens around the venue show how teams are doing. Groups are divided into teams that stay together, so students play alongside classmates they know.
How do you request a field trip?
Open the events page, choose your location, and select Field Trip as your event type. Share your preferred date, arrival time, and group size, and add any details that will help the team prepare. A BRKTHROUGH team member follows up within 24 hours, or you can email events@brkthrough.com.
Group leaders who like the format often return for other occasions, since BRKTHROUGH’s group events also include team building and private celebrations for teen and adult groups.
Have your preferred weekday, arrival time, and group size ready. Request field trip info for your location, or send your field trip inquiry to BRKTHROUGH to reserve a weekday morning.

What ages is the field trip experience designed for?
BRKTHROUGH welcomes teens and adults, so field trips are an excellent fit for high school groups, teen programs, clubs, teams, college groups, and adult learning groups. Every participant signs a waiver, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to complete theirs. Ask your event coordinator to confirm the best fit for your group and to share the current guidelines for waivers and supervision before your visit.
Are the challenge rooms physical?
Rooms mix physical, mental, and skill-based challenges, and the level of activity varies from room to room. Some reward quick movement, while others reward clear thinking and dexterity, so different students shine in different rooms. Comfortable athletic clothing and closed-toe shoes are recommended, and over half of the rooms are built to be wheelchair accessible. Every room can be replayed, so students can switch roles and try a different approach each time.
How do we book a field trip?
Use the inquiry form on the BRKTHROUGH events page, choose Field Trip as your event type, and share your location, date, arrival time, and group size. A team member follows up within 24 hours. You can also email events@brkthrough.com to reach the Event Sales Team directly. Early inquiries give you the most choices for weekday mornings. Have your school or program name ready, since the form asks for a group name.
