CSI: Crime Investigators Corporate Team Building Event in Regina



Hi, this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It is March 20th and we’re here in Regina, Saskatchewan. We’ve just completed a CSI – Crime Investigators event for a local power company. These guys have never done a team building event with us before, so they’re really excited to do something different, outside the norm of what normal team building is. We thought the CSI would be a perfect fit, they have a group that’s high intellectuals, loved the small detail oriented tasks, so the CSI was such a great event for them to be able to complete as their first team building event. We were able to utilize a lot of space in the hotel they were doing their meetings at, which is a beautiful hotel Regina, Saskatchewan, beautiful, old hotel that had a lot of great character to it, so it really enhanced the crime scenes that teams are going around to. It was snowing today, which added for an extra element. The crime scene, the main crime scene with the blood, really stuck out with our car crime scene with the white snow and the deep red blood, which was kind of an extra visual element that teams really loved, made it extra authentic which everyone really thought was super neat. There’s lots of good comments coming back after that challenge with all the different “oohs” and “ahhs” about the crime scene and how bloody it was. These guys had a really fantastic closing speech for their different media briefings that they completed as one of their challenges. It was really fun to see how, throughout an entire group, each team always comes up with something different to have and present. So it’s really awesome for, both myself and my team, to be able to see just the different dynamics of the group coming together and how they all approached the event and solving the crime scene in different ways, so a big highlight there for me. The client was extremely happy with the event, we’ve already talked about doing potentially an Apprentice or Cake Creators for them in the future. They really loved those indoor creative events so, hopefully we’ll be doing those again with them soon and looking forward to another great event.

Wild Goose Chase Corporate Team Building Event in Whistler



Hi, this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It is March 12 and we are up here in beautiful Whistler, BC. We’ve just completed a Wild Goose Chase event for a local tech company that had brought in all of their sales managers from across North America to Whistler for a retreat. They wanted to do the Wild Goose Chase event because they really love the tech aspect of it, as well as the different highlighted areas that we could send them to different tourist locations with this activity. They really enjoyed the ability for people to play at their leisure, wander around the Whistler village area, do some fun challenges and get some really great photos out of it. So we came up with a couple of custom challenges and landmarks for this group so they were able to really hit some of the key highlights of the Whistler village area and some of the fantastic tourist attractions that the area has to offer, and there are just some really great photos that came out of this group’s event. They really enjoyed to themselves and there are some fantastic creativity and some really good team play between the different teams. There’s some competitive team sabotage going on which was really fun to see. Everyone came back with great spirits and had some really fantastic and entertaining stories to share with the entire group. Share those stories over a couple of cold beer afterwards, which everyone really enjoyed at one of the local pubs here in Whistler and there was just a great spirit, everyone had a fantastic time and really enjoyed themselves. The client was really pleased how the event turned out. So it’s always great for us to see that and have those high energy people on our events to really make it memorable for everyone.

Urban Fear Factor - Latest High Technology Corporate Team Building Activity in Quebec City



Hi, this is Alexis from Canadian Outback Adventures and Events with another corporate event update.

This week we were at the incredible UNESCO world heritage site of old town Quebec City for an Urban Fear Factor event.  This exciting app based event engage participants in a series of entertaining team challenges throughout the historic streets of the beautiful old town. The participants were a group of lawyers from a prominent Montreal firm who wanted to bond and have fun outside of their typically high stress work environment. They had a fantastic time strategizing, collaborating and thinking outside of the box, while they completed as many Fear Factor challenges as possible. Some of their favourite challenges involved dressing up in dainty costumes, interacting with locals to find clues to solve puzzles and ice skating in a chorus line with a group of tourists.

Amazing Chase Corporate Team Building Event in Edmonton, Alberta



Hi, this is Jill with another corporate event update.

We are here at Edmonton, Alberta, it’s March 18th and we have just completed an Amazing Chase for a local construction company. So these guys really wanted something that would kick off their first team building event with us with a bang, so they chose the Amazing Chase, one of our classics, they were really excited to have different challenges to take them around the city. They are all locals but they are interested in finding some of those hidden gems of the city that people may not always know about, so we made sure to highlight some of those for them throughout the event course. There is a lot of really great team competitiveness with this group. There is some subtle sabotage at some point which was fun to see, all in the good spirit of competition though, everyone still had a great time. There was good energy amongst all of the teams. Probably the highlight of this event was our Tai Chi challenge. There is just some really great photos that came out of this event, people really took it to a whole new level with the different routines we gave them and they got very in to the challenge, which we loved to see, people taking what we give them and putting it out to the next level. There’s lots of smiles and laughs coming back to the finish of the event and everyone seem to have such a great time which we really enjoy and our staff just loved interacting with this group while out on course. Client was really happy with the event and met all of their expectations and they’re looking forward to do some different events with us in the future as they are really trying to incorporate team building into their new business model, which is really exciting to see and looking forward to doing some more events with them in the future.
