Provide 2 "glues", one of which is just corn-starch in water. Allow extra time for a spike to determine the best course of action if asked for.
Give them more paper than they need and other resources than they need. Knowing what the winning criteria are, see if they are tempted to take on too much. Don't award points for extra boxes.
Insist the lid of the box be manufactured by a different team member to the rest. They must come together flush. See if they can 'merge' their work, agree on a good width, etc.
Write a deliberately ambiguous user story "as a box lover, I want a star shape drawn on the lid so that it makes me smile when I use it". Obviously, I mean a 6 sided Star of David? See if they have the initiative to questions the user stories with the PO
Deduct one point for everyone who doesn't speak in the meetings
Throw in an obviously badly written story, "the box should be rounded" and nothing else. Make sure they challenge the PO and not take it into their sprint.
