HQWS was challenged to develop a first-of-its-kind competition for Government Employees, that emphasised the importance of teamwork, and to be hosted under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai.

​

The grueling obstacle-based format that followed was a mix of physical and mental challenges known as “Gov Games”.

​

The inaugural event saw 90 men’s teams and 70 women’s from Dubai, the UAE and around the globe, descend upon Kite Beach for four days of incredible competition, to battle it out for the AED1million prize pool.
