At Lilliput Play Homes, we believe imagination is not just for kids. It fuels our designs, our craftsmanship, and occasionally… our company meetings.
This winter, our team gathered for a spirited and slightly competitive Winter Olympics-themed showdown. Four teams entered. Only one would take home ultimate bragging rights, along with a coveted gold medal to relish.
From makeshift hockey arenas to rolling-caster curling lanes, the creativity did not disappoint.
🏒 Event 1: Shop Floor Hockey
The shop transformed into a high-stakes hockey shoot out – minus the ice and plus a lot of laughter.
Using a makeshift goal and home made sticks, teams went shot for shot in a fast-paced showdown that required precision to bring home the goal, and gold.
The scoring was tight, the defense intense, and the celebrations dramatic. There may not have been skates involved, but the competitive spirit was absolutely Olympic level.
🥌 Event 2: Dolly Curling
Next up – curling, Lilliput style.
Instead of stones gliding across ice, teams strategically rolled moving casters toward a carefully marked target. This event required steady hands and knowledge of the concrete floors.
Some teams mastered the gentle glide. Others discovered that momentum is a powerful thing.
The shop floor has never seen such focused gliding – or such dramatic reactions to a near-perfect shot.
⛸ Event 3: The Triple Toe Finale
Every great Winter Olympics needs a grand finale. Enter: The Triple Toe.
This figure skating-inspired finale challenged teams to impromptu perform their own routines. Style points were absolutely part of the scoring.
There were spins.
There were poses.
There were ambitious jumps that may or may not have defied physics.
Judging considered creativity, crowd engagement, and overall theatrical flair. It was equal parts athleticism and pure entertainment – and it brought the house down.
And the Gold Goes To…
With an impressive 33 points, Team Cotton Candy claimed the Lilliput-lympics championship title, and the custom made gold medals. Marsh Mallows followed closely behind with 28 points, making it a competitive race to the podium.
Sassafras and Raskals may not have topped the scoreboard this year, but their energy, creativity, and sportsmanship made every event unforgettable.
More Than Just Games
While the hockey goals and caster curling were unforgettable, what truly stood out was the reminder of who we are as a team.
At Lilliput, we build imaginative environments for children every day. Taking time to laugh, compete, and collaborate reminds us that imagination does not stop at the workshop door.
The Lilliput-lympics were more than a meeting activity. They were a celebration of creativity, teamwork, and the playful spirit that drives everything we do.
Until next winter… the training begins now. 🏆
