Minute to Win It Corporate Team Building Activity in Salt Lake City



Hi this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It’s November 21st and we’re here in beautiful Salt Lake City, and we’ve just completed a fantastic Minute to Win It teambuilding event for a local law firm group. They were completing a series of meetings throughout the day and we were the final activity and hoorah for them after a long day’s worth of meetings. The client was really excited to kick off the evening with something fun and exciting for their group and this really fit the bill for both of their participant level and for what their goals for the evening were. The group went headlong into the challenges and really loved every aspect of the Minute to Win It event. The highlight was the final challenge where teams headed off against each other and, like, very competitive final challenge, and I think everyone enjoyed this event, including myself and my team. The client was really happy with how everything turned out and how much energy came out of the event from all of her colleagues. They were really looking forward to hopefully doing something similar in the future and we are very excited to do that with them as well.

If you want to plan an awesome corporate team building event, contact my sales team and they would be happy to help.

Crime Investigators Corporate Team Building Activity in Cleveland



Hi there! Shannon here with another corporate event update from American Outback Adventures & Events.

Today we had a Crime Investigators in Cleveland, Ohio. Snow is falling all around us today, but luckily, at today’s crime investigators we had full access to inside the Q Arena downtown. The contact we worked with at the Q was accommodating and excited for the event and we were able to utilize some very cool spaces. The participants today were this particular company’s leadership team, 24 men and 1 woman. Teams loved that the event was hands-on and required an in-depth analysis of the evidence. They kept saying it was the coolest thing they’ve ever done - A very happy client and a very proud coordinator here in Cleveland, Ohio tonight.

Cake Creators Corporate Team Building Activity in Houston



Hey everyone, it’s Michelle with American Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update for you.

We are just wrapping up a Cake Creators event in Houston. The event itself was taking place for a group of pipeline workers, ranging in departments. We had the admin team, we have some managers in there, some installers, some account reps, it was really a mixed bag of people from multiple areas of the business. They had a great time, one of the highlighting features of this event was that the groups don’t necessarily work closely together on a daily basis, so our client would like us to separate the groups into a mixed teams - mixed, being from different departments. They had a great time, they really got into the cake decorating aspect of things, quite creative in their designs and they really though outside the box with the cakes that they did create. They had a great time; the cakes themselves were donated to the Gospel Mission, downtown Houston after our activity, so there was a bit of a philanthropic element to this event. Everyone had, like I said, a good time, it was fun and their cakes look fantastic.

Minute to Win It Corporate Team Building Activity in Boston



Hi there! Shannon here with another corporate event update from American Outback Adventures & Events.

Today we had a Minute to Win It in my hometown of Boston, Massachusetts. Our group today was international; people came from all over the US, Russia, parts of the UK for a weeklong conference. Our Minute to Win It took place mid week for them, right after their meetings for the day and right before dinner. We started off with low energy levels, understandable for a 5pm on hump day, but once teams get together; it began goofing off to create their team names and cheers, things really started to pick up. The winning teams advised the rest of the group today was that they took time before every challenge to strategize and determine everyone’s strengths for that challenge. I saw them implement in some very interesting strategies for games such as “Elephant trunk”, “Stick Fingers”, and “Head Banger” and they all paid off. Overall it was a great night here at the Marriot Copley in Boston.

The Apprentice Corporate Team Building Activity in Atlanta



Hi there! Shannon here with another corporate event update from American Outback Adventures & Events.

Today we had a 50 person Apprentice in Atlanta, Georgia. This international, multi-million dollar company meets twice a year in various cities to reconnect and foster personal connections within their teams. Today we hosted the sales and operations team for our Apprentice. Prior to the event beginning, a 30 minute presentation from the VP of Community Outreach from the Boys and Girls Club of America spoke about the fantastic work they do in the community and the change they make in children’s lives. Then, the recipient of the annual Boys and Girls club of America Outstanding Youth Awards spoke about her experience with the club. It was a great and very touching way to start the event. These teams were ready to go, and I had barely finished the instructions before they were ripping open the bike boxes to begin building. Today’s apprentice was a shorter one, in total lasting around 2 hours, but we had still had 8 teams present their marketing campaigns, including an appearance by Taylor Swift, a human bicycle and even some original songs. Overall, it was a fantastic Apprentice here in Atlanta today.
