Beehive Building

What if a corporate team building activity could stimulate employee teamwork while helping stimulate income generation for people in a developing country? Leave it to teambonding to find a way…in this fun and competitive team building activity, your teams test their wits as they embark a wild and wacky scavenger hunt. We at teambonding are famous for our creative, hilarious corporate scavenger hunts, having raised this pursuit to something of an art form.

Afterward, everyone settles in to the construction of beehive frames. These are donated to an enterprising women’s cooperative in Mexicali, Mexico that has embraced beekeeping as a way to generate family income. Your participation makes it possible for these women to produce and sell beeswax candles, honey-flavored baked goods, healing salves, bee pollen, hand and facial creams and more.

At the end of the day, you succeed in raising morale, stimulating cooperation and boosting motivation, all while making a meaningful contribution to a community in need. This really is one event where everybody wins.

“I learned that one must never underestimate the act of giving, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. Building 30 beehives seemed like such a minor contribution. However, my husband and I later met a local Jamaican who provided a guided tour of the island. We saw firsthand the poverty and how so many live. We shared our Citigroup’s beehive-building activity. Our guide was so touched by our generosity and idea of Citi’s activity while we were traveling and he hoped we understood the impact and kindness of our contribution. However little it may have seemed to us, it was an appreciated gift. We wished we could have had the materials to build 100 hives!”

Build-a-Boat

It’s sink or swim time – will your team come out high and dry, or end up all wet? In this wildly wacky event, participants divide into small project teams. Teams are charged with the challenge of building a useable raft from a limited supply of resources (barrels, boards, and rope.) One key factor – all members of your crew need to coordinate their efforts to brainstorm, create and build the raft.

Once afloat, each vessel must be capable of transporting several team members, along with a team flag. Everyone will navigate through an obstacle course, out to a dock or buoy, then (hopefully) all the way back to shore. Here’s your chance to be Huckleberry Finn, except that in our version everyone wears a lifejacket!

We’ve also had tremendous success augmenting this program with an orienteering exercise in which teams must locate find the materials to build their raft. Think of it as the corporate scavenger hunt variation. Either way, our boat building extravaganza is a prime example of nurturing team spirit using levity and laughter in a safe but unfamiliar context.

BYOG (Build Your Own Golf Course)

Whether or not you’re at home on the fairway, this is a great team building event that lets everyone get involved in a meaningful way. Your group is divided into teams, each of which will be responsible for designing and building several golf holes.

The idea here is to make each hole fun, challenging and conceptual – in many ways the overall approach is closer to miniature golf. We provide a rich assortment of tubes, pipes, boxes, lumber and other whimsical building supplies to put success within everybody’s reach. Once the final course has been constructed, teams select representatives to actually play the course. Other team members serve as official scorers and course marshals. Throughout the program, your Teambonding Master of Ceremonies and event staff keep everything moving smoothly, with sound and music adding yet another dimension.

The beauty of this program is that the entire course, as well as individual holes, can be customized to dovetail with your meeting/convention theme, company product line, etc. Customization also provides a nice opportunity to segue BYOG into a training session or group discussion.

Catapult to Success

Catapult your team to success with this highly involving design and build program. Participants are challenged to dream up and create their own fully functioning catapults, then fine-tune their ideas for maximum impact. Here, everybody needs to work together to get an idea off the ground. Your teambonding facilitators provide each team with a unique set of materials, plus a budget for buying additional items from competing teams.

Winning requires shrewd negotiation, effective brainstorming, prototyping, testing and fine-tuning. Above all, it requires teamwork! After teams compete with one another, we shift to an all-for-one mentality where everyone works together to create the most effective and efficient catapult.

Catapult to Success is a great choice when you desire an event that effectively incorporates cooperation, team problem solving, strategizing, decision making and team awareness. We offer an optional post-game facilitated discussion covering these essential topics, which of course can be customized to underscore your event theme, company positioning, etc.

Get ready to let the fun fly!

Corporate Crime Scene Investigation -the Scaventure

Here’s your chance to be just like Grissom, Willows, Stokes and Captain Brass as you take on your own Crime Scene Investigation, just like those forensic experts do on a very popular TV show.

New this season:

We’ve taken our immensely popular CORPORATE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION TEAM GAME and now made it into an intensely fun COPORATE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION: SCAVENTURE!!!

In this unique, hands-on, action packed SCAVENGER HUNT your co-workers, guests, clients and friends will set out on a race against time to seek out the suspects that are hiding out in various locations throughout the designated CRIME SCENE AREA. The suspects locations will be revealed by deciphering a series of CRIME SCENE CLUES AND DECODER PUZZLES. Then through questioning, fingerprint lifting, suspect ID’ing and investigative speculation you will begin to determine the who’s, what’s, when’s and why’s of this specially designed CORPORATE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION: SCAVENTURE. An actual CRIME SCENE will be created for you and your guests right on the premises of the place that you’re having your meeting, dinner or special event. Your groups then break up into several smaller CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION TEAMS and take to the streets to retrieve as much information to solve the crime.

Each team will get to examine the crime scene, dust for prints, sift for clues, and find evidence to aid them in the CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION. They will receive information via suspect, investigation and other reports. They will also get an opportunity to grill the suspects if they can locate them. Each team then meets back at the original location to put the pieces of their investigation together and then they will get the chance to offer their conclusions and timeline of the events leading up to, during and after the crime was committed. The team that has the most correct information and the best presentation is the game’s winner. This event is scored on a subjective judging basis.

CORPORATE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION: SCAVENTURE is part murder mystery, part board game, and part scavenger hunt all rolled into one only with this fun game your guests do all the sleuthing in this excellent team building event!

Charity Bike Build – Together We Care

We all want to make a difference in this world. Here’s a team building activity that offers a rare opportunity to actually make a difference, with immediate, tangible results built into the process. In a recent event for 1,100 people in Phoenix, our client came up with the perfect slogan, “Together We Care!”.

Armed with wrenches and enthusiasm, your teams race to construct the ultimate human-powered, no-gasoline-needed rocket – children’s bicycles. Meanwhile, other teammates are navigating fun, innovative puzzles and challenges to earn enough “money” for purchasing that last crucial part needed to make their team’s bike the first off the line.

The final bell rings. You wheel your mechanical marvels to the presentation/start line. Everyone is poised to present their bike and accompanying TV commercial when a door at the end of the room bursts open. Suddenly, you see the excited faces of underserved children from your own community! Imagine the delight and surprise that fill the room when everybody learns these kids actually get to take your new bicycles home with them. For most of the children involved, typically ages 8-12, this will be their first bicycle!

This is an extraordinary way to infuse a conference with energy, create a feeling of immense good will and a sense of meaning larger than day-to-day work challenges. We partner with charities such as Boys and Girls Club and Bikes for Tykes. Or we’re happy to partner with a local charity of your choice.

In typical teambonding style, we take care of all the logistics, making you look good while making the whole event simple and painless. Remember, keep this one a surprise for the participants – don’t spill the beans! The surprise value of the big finale cannot be overstated.

Hot-Cha-Cha Chili Cook-Off

The searing flavors of this fiery festival guarantee that our Hot-Cha-Cha Chili Cook-Off brings the five-alarm fun. Does your team have a fire in the belly when it comes to their chili recipe? Think they can bring red-hot heat and be crowned chili champion? Then step on up, partners! Show off that chili machismo as you vie for succulent spicy success!

Teams will start out with the basic chili necessities (the meat and tomatoes, if you will). Ye Olde General Store is open for teams to purchase more ingredients. But teams had better leave their inner-bandito at home. The sheriff keeps a watchful eye and doesn’t take too kindly to sneak-thievin’. Teams can also negotiate with the hombres from other teams for those last minute needs. But no tusslin’. Sheriff’ll ride you right out of town for that.

If your chili recipe is definitely blue ribbon material bring it on! Us judges have certainly polished our belt-buckles around a few pots of Texas Red in the past. Shucks, even got some stuck in our cookie dusters. We know good chuck. So make sure your chili is a true hot tamale! The Hot-Cha-Cha Chili Cook-Off is both hot and chili con cool!

Negotiation, team building skills and good communication – not to mention singing ability – are all essential ingredients for success in this fun and engaging program.

Wicked Good Chowda Cook Off

Attention chowder aficionados: you’re in for a seriously enjoyable team experience. Yes, it’s another incomparable teambonding competitive cooking event! This time, get ready for chowder: fish, clam, or corn. teambonding will bring all the groceries you need for a taste-filled teambuilding event. Working in happy, hilarious teamwork, participants turn cartons of cream, butter, onions, corn, potatoes, raw eggs, fish or clams into cauldrons of prizeworthy chowder.

Forget about calories, fat and cholesterol! We’re creating chowderous works of art here, attempting to bring rapture to the lips of each and every judge…oh, did we mention there will be judges? This is, after all, a competition. What team will capture the highest accolades? Who gets the best marks for working as a team? Answer these questions and more as you give your group an uplifting break from the day-to-day grind.

Whether you’re from South Boston, East Boston, Dorchester, Roslindale, Medford, Cambridge or anywhere else on the planet, engage your inner Bostonian and get cooking!

Clue: Live!

Clue, the classic board game, takes on a whole new dimension in this hilarious and intriguing Scaventure scavenger hunt adaptation. The mysterious Mr. X has been murdered! You have a pretty good idea when – after all, the body is still warm. But as a team of top detectives, your group still has to piece together the rest of the puzzle. Who? Where? How?

Get ready for a rollicking adventure as teams cover ten city blocks in search of all-important clues. You’ll uncover them in unlikely places like newspapers, answering machines, footprints and more. All the while, six costumed CharActors armed with even more clues are roaming the hunt area. Only by combining and comparing their cryptic statements will anyone be able to solve the crime.

Teams have to work together to succeed, but also have to cooperate with competing teams to identify the murder weapon. The first team to complete this final phase wins, basking in the glory that comes with solving a tough case.

Clue: Live! always goes over well, but for best results let us customize your event by incorporating company info, product info, conference themes and other educational topics into your program. Team building has never been more mysterious – or exciting!

Corporate Survivors

Fashioned after the smash hit reality show, Corporate Survivors challenges your group not only to survive the game, but too survive one another. Through a series of fun and challenging tasks ranging from the silly to the intense, each team works to match their skills against those of the other groups. Challenges run the gamut from physical to cerebral, with teams competing to rack up the highest scores in all categories.

As the leader in corporate team building, we have a deep grab bag to pull from when selecting the perfect balance of team building games for your specific needs. A typical program includes assorted relay races, lateral thinking puzzles, map reading, mystery food tasting plus a hilarious obstacle course. The team with the highest score at the end of the final round is crowned the true “Survivors.”

Your event can be easily customized for all ages. We take great care to insure that physical challenges aren’t overly demanding, but this program can also be enjoyable with purely mental challenges. Works well either with or without a meal.

Fear Factored!

How clever, creative and courageous are your employees? Can they face their fears and still get their work done? Time to push some boundaries! Teams will be scared and scored on everything they do. We’ll get them to conquer their demons in everything from lower invertebrates to higher mathematics in this outrageous team building activity.

Divided into teams, participants compete in tabletop and light physical tasks designed to bug them in ways they’ve never experienced – sometimes using real bugs. This one-of-a-kind event is yummier than slug pudding. Harder than a Tarantula’s exoskeleton. More disgusting than a jalapeno-flavored cricket. It’s hilariously involving, and a great way to foster teamwork and thinking outside the box.

All participants interact with one another in this energetic, fun-filled and sometimes downright icky activity. Like all teambonding team building exercises, Fear Factored! is highly involving, highly motivating and highly customizable. For full details, please give us a call.

Note: This event is often played with live bugs, which can only be used if the venue allows. For some reason, many hotels and restaurants prefer that we don’t bring cockroaches into their facilities.

GPS Powered Teambonding

Presenting a uniquely high-tech team building event and scavenger hunt that makes an extremely effective team building activity. Our teambonding GPS Scaventure is an innovative adventure based on the hot new sport of geocaching. It’s a Scaventure gone high tech!

Using handheld GPS (Global Positioning System) units, your teams crack codes, solve riddles and complete mini missions. Success requires a blend of participants’ innate abilities and individual skills along with the high tech capabilities of GPS, cell phones, digital cameras, maps, and hidden clues. Customized to support and accomplish your specific goals, your GPS Scaventure will challenge creativity, intelligence and communication skills, reinforcing essential teamwork skills every step of the way.

To give you a sense of how far we’ll go, the “Build-a-Robot” GPS hunt, featured robot parts hidden throughout a conference center. Teams had to determine which parts were needed to develop a product ready for sale, create a marketing plan and more. Seriously – the sky’s the limit.

The Great Limousine Scaventure Hunt

Ready to ride in style while fostering employee morale and teamwork? Hop in! Your group is divided into teams of six to eight. Armed with digital cameras and a custom-designed scavenger list, each team navigates their personal stretch limo as they set out to capture themselves on film with as many items from their list as the three-hour time limit allows. Will your team choose the easy finds, or those that are worth more points? Will you go the extra mile and create an item of your own?

At the end of the adventure, your whole group comes back laughing, ready to share great stories and great morale. A team-building module can be added to the hunt as a way to incorporate additional team challenges, custom corporate information and/or conference themes. A trained facilitator can tie it all together in an optional debrief. As an added bonus, you’ll have fun photos to post in the office or on a company web site.

This popular team building exercise is cleverly disguised as pure fun, but there are countless lasting benefits your team will bring back to the workplace. No wonder the Ringling Bros circus clowns chose this freewheeling event when they decided it was their turn to laugh!

Habitat For Humanity

Teambonding offers an innovative and exciting activity that allows corporate groups to give back to Habitat for Humanity and its new home beneficiaries. This is for companies that cannot travel or do not have a full day to donate to Habitat to build a home. This task-oriented activity calls on teams to use financial management, time management, and skills analysis to complete their tasks and earn the most money, while simultaneously designing and constructing home décor items for new Habitat homeowners that will soon move into their first homes. These gifts will be the first housewarming gifts families will receive, and will go a long way toward turning a beneficiary’s new house into a home!

This is a fun, competitive team building activity, involving a series of team-oriented challenges that result in the construction of mailboxes and birdhouses for donation to Habitat for Humanity. Teams of 10 will arrive at their tables to find a picture (if available) and last name of a family that will be benefiting from a Habitat home in the coming year.

teambonding is delighted to help support Habitat for Humanity with this innovative program and a cash donation per team. Your employee involvement also supports via a financial investment in its operations, ensuring that it can continue to provide homes to those in greatest need.

*If you’d like to contribute to a local Habitat affiliate in your community, ask about how this activity can be adapted for you.

Hair Razing Race

Inspired by the popular TV show “Amazing Race,” this fast-paced team building event challenges team to navigate a series of ‘detours’ and ‘roadblocks’ as they race to complete the circuit. This involves solving clues, collecting bonus items and completing humorous team tasks along the way, all with healthy doses of laughter thrown in.

Highly customizable, the Hair Razing Race works well with forms of transportation ranging from public transport, trolley, or chauffeured limousine to participants’ own feet. Whatever you end up choosing, your fun-filled program will effectively encourage team planning, communication, problem solving, strategic thinking and observation skills. The routes can be themed to include historic sites, major landmarks, and other places on of interest. Or let us design it in your company’s own backyard.

The Race is set up so that teams can choose those best suited to perform each task. This means nobody is forced to do anything they’re not comfortable with, yet everyone gets the opportunity to try something new and challenging. Teams really have to pull together, communicate and rely on each other’s strengths to emerge victorious. But teamwork has never been so fun and easy!

Indianapolis Jones and The Golden Idol

Based loosely on the Indiana Jones story, The Golden Idol is a fun, high-energy team building adventure that sends your group scurrying for specific items and clues, all of which eventually reveal the location of a priceless stolen treasure. A true team activity in every sense of the word, participants are called upon to use their deductive skills, clear communication and effective teamwork in order to succeed.

This program is hosted by two professional corporate comedians (playing Indianapolis and the evil Baron) who also act as facilitators. Their animation and interactive comedy bring this to life and make it yet another one-of-a-kind teambonding event.

Challenges include interpreting cryptic clues, gathering key information and locating specific destinations. The comedic format is driven by the threatening arrival of Baron Otto Matic, the villain who has stolen and hidden The Golden Idol. The first team back with the correct location will be celebrated as the winners. A fitting reward awaits, once Indiana Jones has neatly dispatched Baron Von Otto Matic once and for all.

This event has been developed to fit into a specific urban area, although it can be customized to meet specific client requirements. We can also tailor this event to highlight key product information, or to dovetail with marketing or sales initiatives.

It’s Not Rocket Science

Astronauts and Ground Control work together on this white-knuckle mission to rescue the stranded astronauts and safely bring them back to Earth. Remember – in deep space, failure is not an option!

We begin by dividing everybody into teams. Everybody tackles a quick series of problem solving games and communications training exercises. Next, teams are further divided into Ground Control and Space Capsule Crew, with walkie-talkies providing the only means of communication. Each team must complete a series of mind-boggling missions, earning points based on their performance in each event.

Brainstorming and problem-solving skills are required throughout, as teams work their way through hilarious challenges like Team Juggling, T-2 Tower, The Electric Fence, and The Great Escape. The big finale, “Houston, We Have A Problem,” requires teams to draw upon everything they’ve learned together thus far in order to deliver six fragile astronauts (okay, actually they’re raw eggs) back to Earth unharmed.

Teambonding provides everything needed to make your program a memorable success – all materials, supplies and staff, plus video, sound and music to really bring the event to life. Cosmic danger has never been this much fun!

Keys to Success

This high-spirited, one-of-a-kind hunt challenges teams to locate and open several special lock boxes hidden throughout the event area. Each box contains an essential clue needed to solve the big puzzle and locate the final treasure. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, there’s one slight catch: each box is secured with a different lock, and each team begins the event with only a couple of keys.

So exactly how do you collect all the keys necessary for victory? If you’re alert and have an eye for detail, you’ll discover some on your own. Others can only be secured through shrewd trading with other teams. You’ll have chances to win still more keys in a wild and wacky series of physical challenges. Past events have included rock-paper-scissors, three-legged races, even paper airplane throwing contests – as far as we’re concerned, the sky’s the limit.

This popular team building event helps bring out participants’ sense of humor and spirit of adventure, but you’ll also find yourselves drawing on important skills like organization, negotiation, and teamwork. It’s an extremely effective way to foster esprit de corps while challenging your people to rely on their brains – and their teammates – in a non-threatening, fun and funny context. In short, it’s a change of pace with a purpose.

There’s plenty of room for customization with this event, so we can easily include optional training or debriefing which focuses on whatever subject you choose.

“Make-a-Movie” Film Festival

There’s nothing quite like a camera to bring out peoples’ expressive side. And nothing like movie making to bring your team together and get them working as a team.

In this highly involving cinematic adventure, participants are divided into groups representing competing film production companies. The challenge: create the next Hollywood blockbuster. In some ways, making movies with teambonding is a lot like doing it in the real world – each team has cameras, a budget and a deadline. After a short briefing, everybody gets down to business. Teams need to allocate themselves to the many roles required to produce a hit movie. Who will be the actors? Who’s going to direct? And what about a camera operator, props and costumes, even a movie-house marketing group? Clearly, serious teamwork will be essential for success in this anything-but-serious event.

The excitement is contagious as each team screens their masterpiece for the rest of the group. It’s fun. It’s funny. And you can literally stand back and watch people loosen up, genuine smiles bubbling to the surface. It all comes to a delightful climax with a glitzy award ceremony, hosted by none other than Bill Colons, esteemed head of the Canned Academy Committee.

And the winner is…

Outrageous Olympics

Welcome to the quintessential corporate Olympic program currently available on the East Coast with full sets in Boston, New York/New Jersey and Richmond, VA. We’ve staged literally thousands of these events over 18 years. No wonder we’re considered the Zen masters of fun. Simply provide the playing field, and let teambonding take care of everything else, down to details like optional customized t-shirts.

From the opening ceremony (complete with nine-foot Olympic torch) to the presentation of coveted Bronze, Silver and Gold medals, teambonding delivers continuous high-energy fun. Teams compete head-to-head in ten wacky, wild, non-athletic relay races. All games are designed to build team strength, facilitate communication and develop problem-solving skills.

We conduct these team building games as a highly polished interactive production like something you might see on ESPN. The event is hosted by an Experienced Emcee who provides hilarious play-by-play commentary throughout. We also provide a Head Coach who will meet and train members of your team before the event to be coach/officials. We will provide them with shirts as well.

We can also provide professional Outrageous Olympics coach/officials who come dressed ready to assist your teams and judge the results on the field. Every event also features music provided by an on-field DJ.

Ask about our New “Indoor Winter Olympics” available with new games including: Balloon Blizzard, Ski Team, Locked Snowman, Luge, Win, Lose or Draw, and the ever popular ‘Sled Dogs’. Looking for that hot fun in the cool of the winter? You’ve found it!

Play to Win!

Here’s a comprehensive half-day program featuring a customized combination of highly effective team building activities—teambonding’s famous Ice Breakers, Energizers and Team Challenges. After we conduct a needs analysis based on your team building goals, corporate culture and other key specifics, teambonding will present you a detailed recommendation.

Icebreakers and Energizers feature humorous, non-competitive games designed to create an atmosphere where healthy risk-taking is fun. Team skills like communication and unity are emphasized. These are great for generating excitement and alleviating classroom brain-drain. Our Team Challenges help develop critical team performance competencies as participants work together to succeed.

Whatever we come up with together, our hilariously engaging events are guaranteed to have everybody on your team moving, though none of the activities require anyone’s feet to leave the ground. All exercises include mental challenges carefully designed to help participants achieve desired outcomes regardless of physical ability.

This is a perfect choice for creating team spirit and excitement while helping participants get to know each other better. A debrief led by our facilitator uncovers group dynamics, team strengths and communication issues. The group then brainstorms ways to formalize and maximize your communication and total team potential. A proven winner!

Prison Break!

In this rollicking scavenger hunt, a group of dangerous convicts has broken out of the penitentiary. It’s up to your group to locate the villains and uncover the millions they’ve stashed away, with each team representing a separate branch of law enforcement. Piecing together clues, tips, inmate profiles and other bits of information, teams search feverishly to find the escapees.

But just as in the business world, all is not as it seems – some leads will prove helpful in catching up with the crooks, while others inevitably turn out to be completely bogus. It quickly becomes apparent that the only way to win is through teamwork. More clues are revealed as the clock runs down, and each capture provides clues to find the hidden loot. When your chase draws to a close, the team with the most captures and money is declared the winner.

This is a fabulous program for encouraging cooperation, critical thinking and problem solving within a group context. A very successful event whether you choose to present it with or without a meal.

Pub Crawl Scaventure

First, there was the pub crawl. Then came the scavenger hunt. Now, for corporate groups in search of treasure on and off the rocks, teambonding has morphed these two popular concepts into the only and one Pub Crawl Scaventure. Unlike other pub crawls, which focus mainly on imbibing, our journey includes mind games, scavenger hunting, plus delectable trivia.

Your teams visit up to five bars, learning fascinating facts about spirits (did you know that in Fairbanks, Alaska, it is illegal to serve beer to a moose?) and unique drink recipes. Teams will also be on the hunt for treasures like mermaid-shaped swizzle sticks and other bar memorabilia. After completing hilarious challenges at each pub, teams race to the next venue, where progress is rewarded with spirits and other prizes. At the final destination, each team creates and names its own signature cocktail, with samples of the winning drink provided for the entire group.

Pub Crawl Scaventure can be tailored to your city of choice, and further fine-tuned to fit any other specific needs or requests. We also offer a non-alcoholic version of the game, Grub Crawl Scaventure, which incorporates most of the same elements as the Pub Crawl Scaventure. Either way, you’re in for some serious team building fun!

Quest for the Holy Grail

Even after all these years, the search for the fabled Holy Grail continues. Give your teams a chance to find this elusive cup once and for all. This event does a fabulous job combining riddle solving, negotiation, scavenger hunting and strategy into one highly involving quest.

It seems King George has a problem. The Holy Grail, which is of both sentimental and financial significance, has been stolen and hidden by the evil Lord Kinsale. King George must protect the Grail and the secrets it contains, so he has requested assistance from your company. Naturally, the team that finds the Grail earns a valuable reward.

The magical Grail Game Board has 21 mysterious doors. Behind one lies the Grail. Using a variety of clues, teams work together using the process of elimination to guess which is the correct door. The catch? Choose the wrong door, and your team is out of the competition. Clue categories include The Written Word, Foreign Languages, Multimedia and Potpourri. Some involve trivia questions, while other pose mind-bending riddles. True to its name, the Multimedia category even requires careful listening to audio clues.

The whole event is challenging on many levels, loads of fun, and a great way to engage the minds of everyone present. This works well to create friendly bonds within diverse groups, and in the end everyone comes away a winner.

Let the Quest begin!

Rickey Rackety Car Derby

This event is the ultimate in teamwork, skill development, use of resources and trust as teams build various styles of cars.

PVC CAR DERBY

NASCAR has nothing to compare with these racers! Your teams will build and decorate a car that will race against time and other entries to see who will get to the Winner’s Circle.

Teams are provided tires, axles, limited lumber and some tools. Teams develop a blueprint, build a car complete with chassis and body, pass a safety inspection and then “Let the Race Begin.” For the less physical folks, there is also a racing suit to be designed, as well as a team chant.

After the construction is complete, people-powered car race for the gold. Ingenuity and teamwork are the focus of this fast-paced event that puts the “T” in Teamwork!

PIMP YOUR RIDE

Everyone has a dream car: that one special automobile that is fashioned for style, comfort and speed. Just like on the television series, you’ll get a chance to “pimp” someone else’s ride. Your group will be divided into teams made up of planners, supervisors and builders. The goal: to build a model car to the “owner’s” specifications.

Each team receives a unique owner profile which outlines the car’s look, speed and budget. Planners will develop the construction budget, timeline and materials list for purchase. Supervisors will insure the team follows the timeline and budget guidelines, as well as assign various tasks and supervise the project. Builders will pimp the ride (perform the actual hands-on labor).

Teams will be judged not only on their teamwork, but meeting budget and building within specification. The final challenge will be a series of races on a downhill plywood track. Do you want to build consensus in your group? Do you want to strengthen communication skills while promoting a sense of camaraderie? Then ‘Pimp Your Ride’ – it’s the best deal on wheels!

Your program comes complete with sound, music, decorations and awards for the top two teams, plus all necessary car building supplies and tools. We also provide an engaging Master of Ceremonies, and enough courteous event staff to ensure that all goes smoothly.

Spy Hunt – Mission Accomplished

Spy Hunt is a high-energy team building event that encourages teamwork while boosting morale and camaraderie. Divided into teams, your group moves between a series of destinations by finding and following wacky clues, deciphering challenging puzzles and receiving information via tape, fax and voice mail. Each team is also armed with a top-secret attaché filled with maps, clues, schedules and crucial information. They’ll need to take photos, purchase merchandise, beg or borrow other required items and more.

But life as a spy is never easy – scattered throughout the route teams will encounter assorted secret agents, spies, hit men and informants (all teambonding CharActors) who may help or hinder their progress.

We begin and end your event in private area large enough to accommodate your full group. Teams can set off on foot in a wooded area, on bicycles, skates, rafts or even canoes helping them fulfill their missions. Spy Hunt is also great fun in a city environment, where public transportation can be incorporated into the challenges. Or choose to do it with cars, vans or limousines – the variations are nearly limitless.

Danger and intrigue have never been so much fun!

Treasure Hunt Adventure

This exciting new team building activity fosters group effectiveness in a fun, unique way. We’ve based it on the Scandinavian sport of orienteering (now an Olympic event), where participants use a detailed map to find flags in the forest. The teambonding version is built around a custom-made map of your conference center, and includes an industrial-strength dose of fun. This program can be skewed to be more physical or more cerebral per your direction.

The object is to find the key to the treasure chest. Your full group is divided into sub-groups, each with its own set of clues to find. Individual teams soon realize that the only way to locate the treasure is by working together. Some clues can only be acquired when the group completes a fun challenge. These clues can be presented as either Trivial Pursuit or Jeopardy-style questions. We can also add customized questions about your company. Each sub-group’s immediate goal is assembling their part of the riddle. When combined, these add up to reveal a final riddle. The excitement builds to a crescendo as all sub-groups now join forces to find the key.

Since everyone contributes to the success of this search, all get to share in the treasure. This can be a token or memento of your seminar, a T-shirt emblazoned with your company or event slogan, or whatever you desire.

Urban Scaventure

There’s almost nothing more fun than a really good scavenger hunt, and this one’s brought to you by the Zen masters of fun. The experience is highly entertaining on so many different levels. It makes for a powerful team building event, encouraging strategy, communication, navigation and the ability to follow instructions.

Your group is divided into teams. Each is supplied with a Safari Kit including a highly original scavenger hunt list, digital camera, a map of the area and even a team mascot. We set your group loose on the streets of the city of your choice, completely customizing the whole wild adventure to your specific location and agenda. Throw in history, trivia and other customized corporate information, and you have all the makings of an engaging and memorable event.

Far from a garden-variety corporate scavenger hunt, Urban Scaventure features a liberal sprinkling of clues, trivia and hilarious team challenges. Based on your direction, teambonding provides a selection of fun and appropriate prizes for the winners, losers, or everyone involved. Bring it all to a wonderful close with an optional post-hunt *debrief by experienced teambonding facilitators or entertaining comedic performers.

This is a perfect way to see for yourself why teambonding is considered the acknowledged leader in the crazy world of corporate team building.

You’re In The Game

Presenting fast paced, high-energy fun where it’s actually okay to feel like a pawn in the game of life. Imagine a giant, colorful game board – one that’s actually large enough to accommodate your entire group! Now imagine the music kicking in. The size XXXL dice start to roll, and game play begins. Your teams work their way around the game board, furiously trying to answer trivia questions as they complete a wild and wacky series of “team challenges”. But there’s more to life than being right – they’ll also earn points for team spirit, creativity, even enthusiasm.

It’s important to remember that You’re In The Game is completely customizable. We’ll work with you to incorporate any company trivia or other specific information you provide. Or simply let teambonding provide all the questions (and answers). We offer a number of specific themes, for example: You’re In The Game Of Chocolate, You’re In The Game Of Wine, or spice up a wedding with You’re In The Game Of Love. Or hit us with something totally new (we can take challenges just as well as we dish them out).

If you’re interested in helping your group soar to new heights of fun, frantic energy, this is your chance. This memorable team building event makes a perfect choice to kick off an off-site, celebrate a recent success or break up a long series of meetings. Get ready to roll!

X Marks the Spot

It is now an undisputed scientific fact: everybody everywhere loves a good scavenger hunt. Each of our own highly original Scaventures is completely customized to mesh with a specific conference, meeting or management agenda. This is a competitive event that always goes over extremely well, regardless of the theme.

We typically begin with a briefing by your teambonding facilitator. This person often appears in character, helping to set a fun tone right from the very beginning. Generally we warm everybody up with one of our popular Ice-Breaker activities, an effective way to get everyone in the mood for play and competition. Next we divide everybody up into teams, supplying each team with the essential tools of the scavenger trade: official rules, answer sheets, maps, Polaroid or digital cameras and more.

Depending upon the theme of your conference, the group can search for trivia, clues, photo opportunities and more. We can also arrange for your teams to encounter hilarious CharActors along the way – anything from pirates to astronauts to archaeologists.

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of tailoring your scavenger hunt to help underscore your own goals. In fact, the fee for this event covers a full scouting day to custom-write the event for your specific location and theme.
