Minute To Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Woodlands

Howdy! This is Heather with American Outback Adventures & Events, and today in Texas, we completed two events, back to back.

Interns and mentors teamed up in the morning to complete our Team Pursuit – a high energy indoor team building activity that has teams working against the clock to earn points by completing different types of challenges. After lunch, these teams lined up to use their brains and brawn in head to head competition of seemingly simple 60 second challenges in our Minute To Win It activity. This activity focuses on resource management, communication and team interaction, all during a fun and fast paced morale building experience.

The Apprentice / Minute To Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Orange County

This is James from American Outback Adventures with another event update.

Today we are in beautiful, sunny southern California at the St. Regis hotel, the 5 star resort down here. We’ve been contracted by a biotech company to provide a full day of team building. Now, in the morning they chose our Apprentice program which is a beautiful, wonderful program. It involves creativity, planning, group problem solving, but ultimately, the end goal is that each team gets to put together a bike, and that bike gets to be donated to a child here in Orange County, or if we did it in your town, it would be donated to a child in your area. So it’s a great way to support the community, it’s a great way to explore team concepts with your team. Our charity came in, explained to the group the impact that that bike was gonna make on the demographic that they serve, and it was a touching moment, lots of heartfelt high fives, hugs, and the team definitely, definitely got a sense of what their donation was gonna do.

Now in the afternoon, after we broke for lunch, the team opted for something a little bit, I’m gonna go goofier, silly-er. These guys chose our Minute to Win It program, and let me tell you folks, the Minute to Win It program is the perfect way to just relax and let loose for an afternoon of fun team activities. If you have ever seen the TV show, you know you compete in a series of 1 minute seemingly simple challenges but you compete as an individual. With our version, we’ve taken those seemingly simple challenges and created team activities out of each one. So if your team is the team that completes the most challenges with the most number of points, you’re gonna win the Minute to Win It challenge. We had a winner today, it was a great time. Everybody left with smiles, lots of laughter.

Minute To Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Chicago

Hi! This is Emma with American Outback Adventures and Events, here to talk a little about Chicago.

This is one of our major city, there’s so many trade shows and conventions and big business here, this one, who’s done at a huge convention center at the McCormick Place Hyatt. There was a lot of different things going on and events, but this was just one group that decided to throw a team building event during three day of conference. We came in and run our MinuteTo Win It, set everything up quickly so they could get straight to the fun. We did round robin games, competing relay style against head to head teammates. The game seem simple but once they get going, teams find out they’re a little more complicated than they originally thought. Communication is key here, also being able to adjust quickly and come up with new plans.

If you think your company, employees or co-worker would benefit from an exciting event like this, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

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

Today we had a Minute To Win It in Little Rock, Arkansas. This company meant business. Every year their 11 districts compete head to head for their ultimate district trophy.

They offered team members as tribute in challenges like “Face the Cookie” and “Backflip”, and to wrap up their Minute To Win It, the 11 district managers competed head to head in a fierce game of “Chip Flip”.

Minute To Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Austin

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

I just wanted to take a moment to share with you my latest adventure with Minute To Win It. In this challenge, the teams competed head to head in over 12 different Minute To Win It style challenges. The room was decked to the nines, we had great music during each challenge, a projected buzzer the participants could watch and interact with and, as a bonus, in between the challenges we would toss around the mic and hear how the competition was going, what their favorite parts were, how their strategies were working out and a little bit about what they thought they could do better in their teams. So, it was a great learning experience as the event went on. They got better and better, earned more and more points, and of course at the end, we crowned the Minute To Win It champions. This event was great for breaking down the barriers, this team had a lot of fun together and I know that moving forward, they’re going to be comfortable talking to each other about anything.

If you think that your company could benefit from an exciting team building event like this, give us a call. We’re here and happy to help you create the perfect event.

We have just finished a Minute to Win It program for a group of nurses from a nursing union across the US, Canada and Europe. This is the second of 2 events back to back we did with this specific group. The day before we did a CI program and the second day we did a Minute to Win It. The group had a fantastic time, we had 6 teams of about 8 on a team. They competed head to head in a series of challenges, testing their cerebral and physical limits. We had a variety of challenges as mentioned. The group had a fantastic time, they were all a loud bunch, very energetic and encouraging, they had a fantastic time. The couldn’t stop talking about how much fun it was and that they never did anything quite like this, so there was no hesitation from the group leader that they be using us again in the future, so great news and a great event all around.

Minute to Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in New York

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

Today we had a Minute To Win It in Brooklyn, New York. Today’s group were the administrative teams from a bunch of New York state schools. They were ready to rock this morning with a bright and early 8:00 a.m. start time. We were outdoors today, which typically poses a few different roadblocks for us. But it was nothing we couldn’t handle. Teams flipped poker chips, stacked pyramids, and passed marshmallows in the ocean air, and did it all with a smile.

Minute to Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Texas

Hi! This is Emma from American Outback Adventures & Events.

I just finished running one of our amazing Minute to Win It style game show events. This was in Texas and this was a group from a company that needed to have a networking event. A chance for everybody to meet and greet and learn things about each other, get comfortable, and really have a good time. So they started off with a cocktail social hour and then moved in to the room, the ballroom, at the convention center for the Minute to Win It challenges. We had 15 teams and 12 challenges, and the teams got to compete head to head against everybody. I think what really struck me most after this event was when I was talking with the coordinator and she said that she looked around the room and couldn’t tell who the managers were, who the CEO was, who the receptionist was, everybody was on the same playing field and doing the exact same challenges all together. It was such a great bonding experience for everyone and they had a great time.

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

We have just finished a Minute to Win It activity in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a group of automation specialists. We had about 25 people, all high end VPs for the company. They got together and did a variety of really fun and exciting challenges. The group had a great time, high energy bunch, mostly men, they had a cocktail hour at the same time, so it was a great social activity to wrap up a day’s worth of conferences and meetings.

Minute to Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Somerset, New Jersey

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

Today we did a Minute to Win It in Somerset, New Jersey. It was a later event, starting around 7 o’clock at night and the participants showed up a little late. There was only 20 of them, so with the group size and the time of day, we are a little concerned about enthusiasm. But boy, did they prove us wrong. They were loud and enthusiastic and all about the team spirit. Some of the fan favorites today were Stack Attack, Chip Flip, and of course, Elephant March. It was a fantastic Minute to Win It in Somerset, New Jersey today and I’m sure the group will come back for many more.

Minute to Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Seattle

Hi again everyone! This is Emma from American Outback Adventures & Events.

I’m here to tell you a little bit about an event I just ran in Seattle. This event was our Minute to Win It event and it also had a custom element at the end of the event of a Lego challenge, which I’ll get to in just a minute. The first part of the event entail our Minute to Win It challenges. These challenges were run one of two ways: either it is group all-in challenges, where the entire team in the room was participating at the same time in the same challenge to earn points, or, the team had to send up pairs and they had to figure out who in their team was best suited to win the points for that challenge. As you can see from the photos, we had a lot of great challenges. Some of the highlights involved stacking snack cakes on each other, that one’s called Chocolate Unicorn. Another great challenge that the teams really loved was Balloon Racing, this one involves a lot of skills, communication and moving quickly. One that they really enjoyed and discovered some co-worker talents was the “Johnny Apple stack”. They tried to stack apples on top of each other. There was one man in particular in the group who is amazing at this. Everyone really had a good time cheering him on. All in all, they loved the Minute to Win It events, they had a great as you can tell from the photos. All the challenges led to earning points so that they could get their Legos, and since they were in Seattle, all the teams had to build their interpretation of the Seattle Space Needle. Everyone’s came out a little bit differently. There was some group voting before the winning Space Needle was selected and medals were awarded. The team had a great time getting to know each other, having a lot of fun, learning about each other, working together and ultimately, just having a great experience in Seattle.

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

Hi this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It’s November 21^st 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.

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.
