Amazing Chase Corporate Team Building Activity in Philadelphia

Hi there everyone! It’s Emma here with another American Outback Adventures & Events update.

I want to share a great event with you, it’s our AmazingChase. It’s a customized race and scavenger hunt, and this September I ran one in Philly for a group of high energy professionals. Some of their favourite challenges were creating their own flag outside of the Betsy Ross House where the original American flag hangs or visiting the Liberty Bell to come up with their own team jingles. This was a great city for the teams to get out and explore, plus, the finish line was at National Mechanics Bar and Restaurant, teams were really motivated to finish the course in record time to get there and have some of their delicious food.

The Apprentice Corporate Team Building Activity in Boston

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

Today we had The Apprentice in Boston, Massachusetts. Today’s group was a bunch of computer savvy introverts that took over their campus’ cafeteria for a few hours of out of their comfort team building. Each team got a children’s bicycle that they needed to build, customize with decorations and create an innovative marketing campaign for.

This team took a little warming up at first but all had completely unique presentations of their own. Bikes were donated to the boys and girls club of Boston and a representative from the organization was able to come out and talk to the group about the great things that they do in the community and what was next for the bikes.

The client was very happy with how the event brought their team out of their shells and got everyone mingling with people they don’t necessarily interact with on a day to day basis. It was a great successful Apprentice here in Boston today.

Amazing Chase Corporate Team Building Activity in New Jersey

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

Today we had an Amazing Chase in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. There’s a large park in Cherry Hill called Cooper Mill Park. It is 4 miles around with walking trails, soft ball fields, memorials, yacht clubs and other attractions. Our client decided to add a team building aspect to their annual sales rep conference and that this park placed was the place to hold it. Typically our Amazing Chases are on urban areas with multiple routes available to take from one station to the next. This park provided a round, singular trail from one station to the next. To compensate for the time not being used to figure out how to get to the next location, we added longer challenges at the stations and several road blocks that were provided during the beginning of chase, but not due until the end. This was an energetic, very enthusiastic group of sales reps, all in from all over the country and they loved their Amazing Chase.

Iron Chef Corporate Team Building Activity in Raleigh

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

We had just finished an Iron Chef in lovely Raleigh, North Carolina for a group of IT solutions workers from all over the world, so it was a really good event to get everybody together on a nice sunny day outside Raleigh, cooking up some delicious food and came up with some amazing creations and things that I’ve never even seen before. They all really enjoyed it and had a fantastic time. I saw, like I said, things that I’ve never even seen on an event before. They were extremely creative and really thought outside the box and brought flavours from all over the world to the table.

The Apprentice Corporate Team Building Activity in Austin

Hey everyone! It’s Michelle with American Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

We just completed an Apprentice Bike Build activity in Austin, Texas for a group of engineers. They had a fantastic time, they got to build 4 children’s bicycles that we donated to the Boys and Girls club of greater Austin. They’re a mixture of boys and girls bikes for about 6 – 8 years old and they had a great time theming the bikes, coming up with props and accessories for the bikes, and presentations to describe what customized features their bikes had. They’re a group of mostly men and had never done anything like this before and they all worked together and did a fantastic job.

Iron Chef Challenge Corporate Team Building Activity in Napa Valley



Hi everyone! It’s Emma with another American Outback Adventures & Events update.

What could be better than spending a day at Napa at a beautiful golf resort? How about having super energized teams cooking up a culinary masterpiece for you? Our Iron Chef event is chock-full of delicious moments. I love how the teams get creative with the ingredients, their plating ideas, and of course, they have over the top sales pitches when they delivered their finished items. Being in Napa for this one, I decided to make the secret ingredient grapes. So the appetizer, main course, beverage and dessert all had to have at least some grape aspect. While the judges did score all the teams a little bit differently, there was no denying who the winning team was. We ate their entire entrée, it was so good! Everyone had such a great time and they were treated to their own barbecue dinner afterwards at the resort.

If you and your company could benefit from an exciting team building event like this, please don’t hesitate to call American Outback salesteam. We are ready to help you create the perfect event.

Corporate Castaways / Iron Chef - Corporate Team Building Activity in Seattle



Hi, this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It is July 24th and we’re here in Seattle and we have just completed a double event, back to back event, for a local tech company. They completed a Corporate Castaways event for us in the morning and an Iron Chef event for us in the afternoon. It was just a phenomenal day’s worth of activities for this group. Unfortunately, the rain didn’t really cooperate with us, but it all added to the Outback Survivor-esque theme that we had going throughout the day. In the morning, the Corporate Castaways showed a lot of team communication and some great competitive spirit between all of the different participants. I think the highlight was the jumbled search challenge, where teams have to go off and search for different clues in the woods. They really love being able to just get out and stretch their legs and hunt for the different clues. And then in the afternoon, this is where these guys really shined. There was a lot of different participants from different cultural backgrounds, places from Cameroon, Dubai, all over the world. It was really great to see all of those different nationalities have different influences on the cuisine that they created. They got really creative with the different ideas and, sort of, meals that they presented to us, which was really awesome to see them taking it to the next level, and also communicating in a group to have that different influence come out from each of the different cultures to create some really wow factor items to present to the judges. Overall this group had a fantastic time, they really enjoyed themselves, loved being able to get outside, have some communication with their colleagues and more fun environment. They have been in meetings really up to that point for the past 3 days, so getting something and different out there, to be able to get to know their co-workers who work across the globe together in a bit of a different environment, they loved that, and the client was really happy with the event.

And if you want to plan an awesome corporate event with us, please contact my sales team and they’ll be happy to help.
