Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Fort Worth

Hi, this is Heather from American Outback Adventures & Events.

Today, we are in Fort Worth, Texas, racing through down town in The Amazing Chase. These banking professionals were faced with road blocks and detours at some of Fort Worth’s most notable places. They stopped by the Sid Richardson museum where they were challenged in a road block that required a steady eye and even steadier brain. They got physical and made new friends at the water gardens, and they tested their powers of persuasion in market square. When the race ended at Frankie’s bar, food and drinks were waiting for the energized teams.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Delray Beach

On early December, we hosted our Amazing Chase for a sales team from a national tire company in Delray Beach, Florida.

The weather was sunny, warm and beautiful. It was the perfect day for a chase. The 11 teams raced throughout Delray beach, solving clues, and using GPS to navigate stops along the route. Then, they completed roadblocks and detour challenges. The challenges tested the team’s mental and physical strengths, their adaptability, and their ability to work together as a cohesive unit. In this game of speed and accuracy, it was a battle for first and second place. Ultimately, the winners were the team who completed the most challenges correctly in the best time.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Syracuse

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

Today we did an Amazing Chase in Syracuse, New York. This highly competitive team showed up ready to run, literally. Between their last board meeting and our team building event, every participant went back to their rooms to pack up the ties and high heels and sport their runners and sweat pants. They were ready to rock. Teams visited some fun, historic locations in Syracuse, like a home once known for its involvement in the Underground Railroad, an American art museum, and at the end, of course, the world famous dinosaur barbecue. This group aced their race today, coming in some of the quickest times this coordinator has ever seen.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Washington, DC

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

Today we did an Amazing Chase in the country’s capital, Washington, DC. It was a hot one out there, but that didn’t stop our superstars. Teams participated in a particularly challenging course that brought them by the Smithsonian, the Washington Monument, and even the African Art Museum. These driven teams danced the traditional New Zealand dances, climbed and created the ancient Pyramids, and truly bonded and supported one another on their three mile course around the city.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in San Francisco

Hi, this is Emma from American Outback Adventures & Events.

And I have just returned from doing our new Amazing Chase in San Francisco. This is a great city to get out and explore, there’s so much to see, do and just have a good time with your co-workers. This group got to visit Chinatown, the famous gate with the lion head, and then they headed down to the waterfront visiting the Embarcadero, Fisherman’s wharf, the Ghirardelli station where they got to do some chocolate sampling. That was an amazing challenge, we brought all the extras to the finish and everyone loved the chocolate. Towards the end of the event, when all the teams made it back, they were able to share stories and experiences and, of course, all the photos and videos were shared around after the event and I’m sure they had a good time looking back at the memories.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Boston

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

Today we had an Amazing Chase in Boston. It was a beautiful day for a race around the city as teams travelled to New Zealand, known by locals as Frog Pond, to re-enact the infamous “Haka” dance. Then off to England, also known as the Boston Tea Party Museum, and then, even Ireland, which is basically all of Boston. Teams were driven and very competitive today. They were all in it to win it – it was a close race. But there can be only one Amazing Chase champion, and these chasers found out who was theirs at the Hard Rock CafĂ© in Faneuil Hall. It was a fantastic Amazing Chase here today in Boston.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Boston

Hi everyone, this is Emma from American Outback Adventures & Events.

And I wanted to let you all know about our new Boston Amazing Chase course. This is a newly created course that highlights some of the city’s great sites. They get to see the frog pond, the swan boats, and some other downtown attractions. Not only is this course new and exciting, it really challenges participants to get creative and think of how to do new things, think outside the box and get things done. They have to figure out logistics, their time management, their resource management and they really get to rely on their teammates in order to make it back to the finish, beat all the other teams and earn the most points in the shortest amount of time. Since this was the first time running this course with this client, there were no challenges, the teams made it through smoothly and felt challenged the entire time.


If you think that your company would love to experience the Amazing Chase course in Boston or in any other city, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re here and happy to help you create your perfect event.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Boston

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

Today we had a custom scavenger hunt in Boston, Massachusetts. The group today were about 130 people coming in from all over the world – Belgium, Germany, France and various areas in the UK. Some of those people did not speak or read English very well We designed sightseeing scavenger hunt for them to come in, visit two major Boston scenes – Boston commons and Faneuil Hall marketplace and complete five challenges at each location to earn points with their team. We worked with the events company bringing them in to translate our documents into various languages per document. So no team had a disadvantage. Teams spent the afternoon playing leap frog with the Make Way for Ducklings statue, counting swan boats, saying hello to the seals at the aquarium and singing Aerosmith at the Hard Rock CafĂ©.

Amazing Chase - Corproate Team Building Activity in New Orleans



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

We have just finished an Amazing Chase in downtown New Orleans, in the French Quarter, for a group of distribution and mechanical workers. They were coming in for their first time to New Orleans, had never been there before, the majority of them. Had a fantastic time seeing the sights in the French Quarter and completing challenges leading to the locations. It was a fantastic event to them because they had never been to New Orleans, they got to get out and see the city while exploring and testing their team’s ability to follow very simple instructions, to test their limits, to get them problem solving and strategy, also their navigational skills are put to the test. They had a great time, as mentioned, we finished up at a local restaurant and they were all able to experience the fine cuisine that New Orleans has to offer. The guys, mostly men, that participated had a fantastic time, as mentioned, they were sure to use us again in the future, and couldn’t stop talking about what a great time they had.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Fort Worth

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

We’ve just finished an Amazing Chase in downtown Fort Worth for a group of bank employees. Our course was condensed with 2 hour program which took participants throughout the downtown Fort Worth area. Many of which, actually most of them, were not from Fort Worth. That was a great opportunity for them to see the sites and get a good understanding of the downtown area. They got to complete a variety of challenges, both road blocks and detours. They had a fantastic time, completed a variety of cerebral and physical challenges and were smiling throughout the entire event. For them it was a great opportunity to meet their co-workers, these were new group of employees from the company, so most of them had not met before, so they were able to meet each other, learn their strengths and potential weaknesses and really pulled together as a team.

It’s a fantastic event and if you would like to plan a great activity like this for your corporate group, contact us online at americanoutback.net.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in San Diego

Hey guys, this is James with American Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

Today we were in sunny San Diego, California, specifically in the Gaslamp district which is a gorgeous area for one of our Amazing Chase events. We had a sales team from a chemical company and we put them on our course and we watched them as they were high-fiving and laughing all the way to the finish line. These guys had to use communication, they were running around finding clues, answering questions, thinking outside the box and they made it back to our finish line in time for happy hour at the Solamar.


Ladies and gentlemen, it was a great time and if you would like to plan a fantastic event for your corporate team, check us out online – americanoutback.net and contact my awesome team.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Washington, DC



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

Today we did an Amazing Chase in our nation’s capital, Washington, DC. Even though we had just received fresh snow and it was on the 30’s, this group was chomping at the bit to get their first clue and run out the door. Today’s group was a highly competitive, very A-type personality bunch. Although they were few, just 8 people, they were mighty. It was one of the most neck to neck, nail biting chases yet. These teams were constantly passing each other then falling behind, then finding short cuts past the Lincoln memorial, the Washington monument, and even the National Museum of History. It was, it was exhausting just to watch. In the end, one team rose to victory and all participants had on tired smiles. It was a fantastic day here in DC.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Atlanta


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

Today we did an Amazing Chase in Atlanta, Georgia. The weather was less than ideal today but the rain held off. With 18 participants running around the Peach Tree, downtown area, solving clues, finding locations and completing challenges. Today’s participants were this Fortune 500 company’s best of the best of their sales department and the competition had some pretty steep stakes. To bolster the competition, we customized the chase to be particularly difficult for this group. The organizers of this meeting used our chase to watch their employees in how they reacted to different levels of stress and opposition. The results were very interesting.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Kansas City



Hi there everyone, this is Emma, I’m here with another update from American Outback Adventures & Events.

Just got finished running a great event in Kansas city. This company decided to brave the cold weather and do a partially outdoor event. We started with a little trivia and code breaking challenge to get their brains warmed up, and start indoors at their headquarters. After that, all the teams got ranked by how well they did in the questions. This gave them their starting position of when they would get to get out on the Amazing Chase course. The teams left in different heats, out on the course they were all bundled up, but I think that their competitive and high energy really did keep them warm out there. They had some really great fun challenges. Besides doing the Tai Chi at the Liberty memorial, they also got to taste some artisanal chocolates and guess the flavors. They had a great time. When they met at Union Station for the finish, dinner and drinks were waiting.

If you think that your company would benefit from an exciting and fun team building event like this, please don’t hesitate to contact American Outback Adventures sales team. We would love to help you create your perfect event.
