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.

Crime Investigators - Corporate team Building Activity in Michigan

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

Today we did a Crime Investigators in Southfield, Michigan, just 20 minutes north of Detroit. We setup crime scenes today inside the lab building of our client’s company campus. We had teams collecting DNA, negotiating with the very needy confidential informant and analyzing and comparing imprints in the lab. It was a very detailed oriented group today and many teams actually did solve the crime. But of course, their creativity and their crime scene sketches and media briefings are what brought one team to victory to become our Crime Investigator champions today. It was a great CI with American Outback today.

Going Live - Corporate Team Building Activity in Seattle

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

I’m here with an update of an event that we just launched, this one is called Going Live. We ran this event in Seattle. It was a small group, there were only 2 teams, but that didn’t stop them from having a great time. Not only did they take it seriously, have fun, but they got to know each other in a whole new way. The first part of this event is competing in challenges. They have to earn points, challenge the other team, and figure out a lot of news related trivia. While doing this, they also have to be writing their news scripts. This part is the most fun and creative, I think, for the teams. Not only are they writing about the company but they’re getting to know each other during this time as well. So they write the news scripts about what’s going on currently within their team, and they also do a weather report, predicting what was gonna happen in their team’s future. Then they have 3 minutes to film this recording. At the end of the event, the teams get to watch each others' news recordings and we all vote on what recording wins. This event is a lot of fun and it ties in to your company’s goals for that quarter, year or whatever the meeting might be entailing.

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.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity

Hey everyone, it’s Emma with another American Outback Adventures & Events update.

So I just ran an Apprentice for 16 teams, there were 90 participants and these were creative people. They work in a creative field, even though might be doing marketing and sales, these people all had a lot of energy. Every one of them had great ideas for how to decorate these bikes and come up with really winning, creative advertising campaigns. Because we had so many teams, first we narrowed it down to the top 8, and then those teams presented their commercials and were eligible for the group voting. Of course, everyone’s favorite part of this event is always the charity that gets involved. This group was no different. They worked with a charity that was local, reached out to them and started building a connection to the community. This charity works with families of domestic violence, so they have kids from all walks of life that really could love and benefit from a bike. The group got to learn all about the charity at the event and figured out ways that they could help them in the future. It was a perfect day. Afterwards they could all head out to dinner and talk more about how it had gone for them.

Iron Chef - Corporate Team Building Activity in Hopkinsville

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

We have just finished Iron Chef for a group of steel workers in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. We completed the activity outside, it was a nice day, a little chilly, it was only about 50 degrees out but they powered through and had a great time grilling all sorts of creations. We had beef as our main protein so we had some good steaks and some creative desserts that came out of the group. They had a great time, like I said, outside at their warehouse, and the activity itself went off great. They had a, like I said, a fantastic time and really creative with their food items and their drinks and I saw some things that I have never seen on events before so I was pleasantly surprised by the creativity from the group.

Crime Investigators - Corporate Team Building Activity in Atlanta



American Outback Adventures & Events hosted a Crime Investigators team building event for an international client in Atlanta, Georgia.

This event brought together a team of people who worked together each day in different countries around the world, many of whom had never met in person before. Their goals were to build camaraderie among the team and focus on root cause analysis. This event required teams to locate five different crime scenes, collect evidence, document the scenes and ultimately solve the crime. There were five specific roles on each team and the participants each chose a role that best highlighted their skills. Working together in teams, the participants used close observation, creativity and critical thinking to determine who committed the crime. Real police officers happened to be having lunch at the hotel café and one team even interrogated them, thinking they were part of the event. Another team interacted with hotel guests, asked if they had committed a murder recently. Overall, the teams were successful in digging down to specific details, finding the motive and culprit, and solving the crime. And they had a blast along the way.
