The “Art” of Giving
Here’s a wonderful philanthropic team building program that enables your group to create beautiful multi-panel murals for placement in local childrens’ hospitals, nursing homes, family shelters, etc. It’s an opportunity to foster important team building skills among your own employees, while brightening the lives of others in your own community. We manage to instill a great sense of accomplishment while making the final artwork itself pretty much foolproof (this in itself is something of an art).
We have created a series of graphics specifically to look great on six- or eight-panel murals. Each framed canvas panel measures 24” square. Once completed, these designs never fail to bring smiles to every face in the room. Your group can choose from a variety of nature-inspired scenes. You may also want to assign one team a teamwork-themed mural for your own workplace. Or let us custom-design something using your company logo.
Once teams and images are selected, we project outlines onto a wall. Teams trace the outlines, then paint them, checking with other teams to insure good alignment. Next, they choose a color scheme, another step that encourages cooperation between groups. Naturally, we provide all materials and are happy to help with any and all steps of the process.
While completed panels dry, all team members participate in a series of fun and exciting team builder challenges. Don’t let the laughter fool you – the powerful skills and tools learned here will go a long way toward increasing productivity and communication back at the office. At your request, we’ll try to arrange for a representative of the facility to accept your mural donation and thank your group.
When done right, corporate citizenship is a beautiful thing indeed.

Beehive Building
What if a corporate team building activity could stimulate employee teamwork while helping stimulate income generation for people in a developing country? Leave it to us to find a way…in this fun and competitive team building activity, your teams test their wits as they embark a wild and wacky scavenger hunt. We at teambonding are famous for our creative, hilarious corporate scavenger hunts, having raised this pursuit to something of an art form.
Afterward, everyone settles in to the construction of beehive frames. These are donated to an enterprising women’s cooperative in Mexicali, Mexico that has embraced beekeeping as a way to generate family income. Your participation makes it possible for these women to produce and sell beeswax candles, honey-flavored baked goods, healing salves, bee pollen, hand and facial creams and more.

At the end of the day, you succeed in raising morale, stimulating cooperation and boosting motivation, all while making a meaningful contribution to a community in need. This really is one event where everybody wins.
“I learned that one must never underestimate the act of giving, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. Building 30 beehives seemed like such a minor contribution. However, my husband and I later met a local Jamaican who provided a guided tour of the island. We saw firsthand the poverty and how so many live. We shared our Citigroup’s beehive-building activity. Our guide was so touched by our generosity and idea of Citi’s activity while we were traveling and he hoped we understood the impact and kindness of our contribution. However little it may have seemed to us, it was an appreciated gift. We wished we could have had the materials to build 100 hives!”

Build Your Own Mini Golf Course
Whether or not you’re at home on the fairway, this is a great team building event that lets everyone get involved in a meaningful way. Your group is divided into teams, each of which will be responsible for designing and building several golf holes.
The idea here is to make each hole fun, challenging and conceptual – in many ways the overall approach is closer to miniature golf. We provide a rich assortment of tubes, pipes, boxes, lumber and other whimsical building supplies to put success within everybody’s reach. Once the final course has been constructed, teams select representatives to actually play the course. Other team members serve as official scorers and course marshals. Throughout the program, your Master of Ceremonies and event staff keep everything moving smoothly, with sound and music adding yet another dimension.

The beauty of this program is that the entire course, as well as individual holes, can be customized to dovetail with your meeting/convention theme, company product line, etc. Customization also provides a nice opportunity to segue into a training session or group discussion.

Catapult to Success
Catapult your team to success with this highly involving design and build program. Participants are challenged to dream up and create their own fully functioning catapults, then fine-tune their ideas for maximum impact. Here, everybody needs to work together to get an idea off the ground. Your facilitators provide each team with a unique set of materials, plus a budget for buying additional items from competing teams.
Winning requires shrewd negotiation, effective brainstorming, prototyping, testing and fine-tuning. Above all, it requires teamwork! After teams compete with one another, we shift to an all-for-one mentality where everyone works together to create the most effective and efficient catapult.
Catapult to Success is a great choice when you desire an event that effectively incorporates cooperation, team problem solving, strategizing, decision making and team awareness.

CCSI – Corporate Crime Scene Investigation
The Game: Here’s your chance to be just like Grissom, Willows, Stokes and Captain Brass as you take on your own specially designed CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, just like the forensic experts do on that very popular TV show.
An actual CRIME SCENE will be created for you and your guests – yes, right on the premises of your meeting, dinner or special corporate event. Your group then breaks up into several smaller CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION TEAMS. Each sets out in a feverish effort to be the first team to get to the bottom of crime.
Each team will get to examine the crime scene, dust for prints, sift for clues, and scout out evidence to aid in the CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION. They’ll receive information via investigation, autopsy, ballistics, and trace reports. They’ll also get opportunities to grill actual murder suspects (played by acclaimed CharActors).
CORPORATE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION is part murder mystery, part board game, and part scavenger hunt all rolled into one. But with this wildly fun event, your guests do all the sleuthing. What an excellent team builder!
As with all our events, we do all the planning, creating and legwork. It’s the best way to guarantee you a fun, engaging and wrinkle-free experience.
Features
- CCSI is a perfect combination of fun and challenging team building AND an interactive, engaging exploration into the exciting and ever popular world of forensic science.
Group Size:
- We can make CCSI work well for groups ranging from six to 250. But because this event requires lots of careful observation and detail, it’s ideally suited for moderately sized groups of 30 to 100.
Time
- 2 – 3 hours
Space
- Large ballroom
Outcomes
- Solidify newly-formed teams
- Creative problem solving

Ideal Usage

- Retreats and symposiums
Experience

Charity Bike Build – Together We Care
We all want to make a difference in this world. Here’s a team building activity that offers a rare opportunity to actually make a difference, with immediate, tangible results built into the process. In a recent event for 1,100 people in Phoenix, our client came up with the perfect slogan, “Together We Care!”.
Armed with wrenches and enthusiasm, your teams race to construct the ultimate human-powered, no-gasoline-needed rocket – children’s bicycles. Meanwhile, other teammates are navigating fun, innovative puzzles and challenges to earn enough “money” for purchasing that last crucial part needed to make their team’s bike the first off the line.
The final bell rings. You wheel your mechanical marvels to the presentation/start line. Everyone is poised to present their bike and accompanying TV commercial when a door at the end of the room bursts open. Suddenly, you see the excited faces of underserved children from your own community! Imagine the delight and surprise that fill the room when everybody learns these kids actually get to take your new bicycles home with them. For most of the children involved, typically ages 8-12, this will be their first bicycle!
This is an extraordinary way to infuse a conference with energy, create a feeling of immense good will and a sense of meaning larger than day-to-day work challenges. We partner with charities such as Boys and Girls Club and Bikes for Tykes. Or we’re happy to partner with a local charity of your choice.
In our typical style, we take care of all the logistics, making you look good while making the whole event simple and painless. Remember, keep this one a surprise for the participants – don’t spill the beans! The surprise value of the big finale cannot be overstated.
Outcomes
- Foster teamwork and cooperation

- Give back to the community
Features

The Teambonding team was wonderful to work with and provided a very rewarding and entertaining evening for our group.
- Thank you for once again for providing a top notch event. We look forward to working with you again next year.”

Hot-Cha-Cha Chili Cook-Off
The searing flavors of this fiery festival guarantee that our Hot-Cha-Cha Chili Cook-Off brings the five-alarm fun. Does your team have a fire in the belly when it comes to their chili recipe? Think they can bring red-hot heat and be crowned chili champion? Then step on up, partners! Show off that chili machismo as you vie for succulent spicy success!
Teams will start out with the basic chili necessities (the meat and tomatoes, if you will). Ye Olde General Store is open for teams to purchase more ingredients. But teams had better leave their inner-bandito at home. The sheriff keeps a watchful eye and doesn’t take too kindly to sneak-thievin’. Teams can also negotiate with the hombres from other teams for those last minute needs. But no tusslin’. Sheriff’ll ride you right out of town for that.
If your chili recipe is definitely blue ribbon material bring it on! Us judges have certainly polished our belt-buckles around a few pots of Texas Red in the past. Shucks, even got some stuck in our cookie dusters. We know good chuck. So make sure your chili is a true hot tamale! The Hot-Cha-Cha Chili Cook-Off is both hot and chili con cool!

We get everybody started with the manic fun of Full Contact Chocolate Bingo.

Our grand finale – a wild building event that involves everyone. Defy laws of physics and gravity as you help Wonka, Inc. build a Bridge Over Chocolate Waters.

Tasty options include You’re in the Game of Chocolate, a fast-paced trivia game played either seated at team tables or moving around a giant game board.

The chocolate events were wonderful, too – I think we all loved the competitive edge.
- I can’t say enough about what a great day it was. I was pleased with the outcome from the moment it was over, but I didn’t expect staff to be as excited and appreciative of it as they have been. I will definitely be doing this again!”

DaVinci’s Museum Adventure
Now your company can experience the thrill of the search for the ancient Grail, complete with all the excitement of the best seller. This is typically staged in an art museum in your city (The Met, Getty, the National Museum of Art, etc.). Teams use detailed maps while interacting with the artwork searching for clues that will help them break the mysterious Cryptex Code. A great team building exercise that incorporates appreciation, intrigue and adventure.
Teams use maps of the museum which indicate where clues can be found. Your sleuths must first navigate to the right piece of artwork, then detect the correct answer within each piece. Once assembled, the full collection of clues helps teams find the key to the treasure chest hidden somewhere in the museum.
The climax occurs when a team finally gets to open the chest itself. This grand opening can take place within the museum, at a nearby restaurant, or at your meeting. You supply the treasure…we’ll supply the excitement.
Outcomes
- Promote team problem solving
- Foster creative thinking
- Give teams a sense of adventure
- Great morale booster

Corporate America’s Idol
Presenting karaoke with a twist – your group, divided into teams, will actually rewrite the lyrics to familiar hits, then lead the entire group in an uproarious sing-along.
Each team receives a CD player and CD, markers and flip chart. The groups move to a secluded area, pop in their CDs and proceed to write their own lyrics to the songs they’ve been given. These lyrics will be transferred onto the flip chart for use as cue cards during the sing-along. But don’t expect love songs – as part of the challenge, the new lyrics must address specific corporate issues. Thus, teambonding can cleverly customize your event to position key product information, underscore marketing or sales initiatives, or create a highly motivational call to action.
The big evening performance features a professional Master of Ceremonies, plus all the trappings of a real concert. This can include a draped stage area, stage lights, smoke machine, etc. We also provide a large prop box filled with fun and funky performance-enhancing accessories. No wonder so many clients arrange to have their event videotaped!

Cooking for a Cause
Cooking for a Cause is an exhilarating team building experience that ends in a meaningful and worthwhile donation of food to people in need. The program includes food prepared and consumed by the participants during the event and a three-part donation to area food banks.
To help your group better comprehend the issues of hunger and homelessness in the US, the program begins with a brief quiz on the subject. Participants will work in teams to answer questions which the facilitators will review and then discuss as a group.
Coking for aCause has three components, with competitions and winners from each!
The Cooking Competition includes appetizers consumed by participants, as well as the hot food preparation that will be donated to a local soup kitchen. Teams will compete to see who prepares the “best” dish in the eyes of our culinary judges.
The Great PB & J Challenge involves teams working together to make and package up to 20 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches per team. After being bagged with other nutritional snacks, they will be ready to be distributed at a local soup kitchen or street food distribution program. Part of the challenge is that the participants will be making their own peanut butter from scratch!
Food Bag Donation has participants completing three challenges to earn the supplies needed to assemble a bag of household food items for area families. Teams will need to earn a reusable tote bag to put the food in, materials to decorate the bag, and the food to place in the bag. The teams will also write a personal letter that will accompany the food bag, which is given to a local family in need.

Go GREEN Racing
The environment and global warming have become much-publicized topics over the last several years. Given this increased focus, TeamBonding has raced to create an activity that showcases the importance of recycling and energy conservation.
READY…SET…GOOOOOO GREEN!!! Within the two-hour activity, teams will be tasked with creating solar cars from kits provided, and also building cars from materials used and thrown away everyday by millions of Americans. The solar cars will be put to the test and judged for performance, while the recycled cars will be built for speed! The event concludes with a round robin drag race tournament to determine which car is the fastest! Teams are racing against the clock to complete both cars and take home the checkered flag. The real winning team, however, is unveiled after the competition.

Team Building partners with local schools to donate both the solar cars created during the event, as well as new solar car kits and a solar classroom curriculum to area students. These cars and new car kits will be used by the schools to further emphasize the importance of energy conservation and alternative methods of transportation as well as foster creativity and innovation within the classroom.

The Great Appetizer Challenge
If you are looking for an event that is similar to our other great culinary programs, but a bit shorter in duration, we’ll love our Great Appetizer Challenge. Your group will tour the world by preparing hors d’oeuvres from every corner of the globe.
As with all our culinary events, there will be many challenges to meet along the way that will require a high level of communication and collaboration to successfully complete your tasks. Through the use of food preparation, your team will realize their high potentials and understand themselves better collectively as a team.
The group is divided into teams. Each team is challenged to create appetizers that look great and taste even great (no pigs in a blanket here). We provide all of the necessary ingredients, utensils, and recipes.
Once completed, all of the tempting creations will be showcased on a Grand Buffet for all participants to share and enjoy. In the events finale, the judges will select a champion based on taste, presentation, team work, and leadership.
Outcomes
- Enhanced teamwork, problem solving and communication
- Fun interaction and innovation in a delicious environment
- Great appetizers!
Features

Space
- Our approach allows us to come to your favorite hotel, conference center, winery or auditorium, allowing for easy planning.
Experience
*“We had a wonderful time! Facing a set of challenges that were very different than what we do 50-60 hours a week, we all learned different and surprising things about each other and I think everyone appreciated the new perspectives we now have on our colleagues. I think we’ll be a closer, better team for it. You were an excellent, low-key, firm, helpful leader with a great sense of humor. Thanks so much. Everyone wants to do it again – so we’ll be in touch!” L. S. – Public Broadcasting Systems

Habitat For Humanity
This innovative and exciting activity allows corporate groups to give back to Habitat for Humanity and its new home beneficiaries. This is for companies that cannot travel or do not have a full day to donate to Habitat to build a home. This task-oriented activity calls on teams to use financial management, time management, and skills analysis to complete their tasks and earn the most money, while simultaneously designing and constructing home décor items for new Habitat homeowners that will soon move into their first homes. These gifts will be the first housewarming gifts families will receive, and will go a long way toward turning a beneficiary’s new house into a home!

This is a fun, competitive team building activity, involving a series of team-oriented challenges that result in the construction of mailboxes and birdhouses for donation to Habitat for Humanity. Teams of 10 will arrive at their tables to find a picture (if available) and last name of a family that will be benefiting from a Habitat home in the coming year.
We are delighted to help support Habitat for Humanity with this innovative program and a cash donation per team. Your employee involvement also supports via a financial investment in its operations, ensuring that it can continue to provide homes to those in greatest need.
*If you’d like to contribute to a local Habitat affiliate in your community, ask about how this activity can be adapted for you.

Hooray for Hollywood!
Presenting a hilarious, highly customized murder mystery served with a Hollywood twist. The plot: famous director Rudy Von Hessel (actually a CharActor) arrives with his entourage of filmmaking talent. His leading lady, the gorgeous, talented and fully self-absorbed Angela Thorne, accompanies him. Von Hessel’s much married and harried producer, Barbara “Babs” Moneybaggs, spends all her time trying to keep Angela happy, but fails miserably. Rudy announces to your group that with the help of his talented staff, he’s ready to be holding auditions for roles in a film about your company.
Based on prearranged information about your organization and group, our CharActors will have the room howling with laughter as various people are called up to audition for the roles of fellow employees, or even to play themselves. The event takes a dark and mysterious turn as the cast of the film is announced –Babs makes a toast to their success, and suddenly dies! Yes, it seems someone has poisoned Babs Moneybaggs.
A detective (yet another CharActor) arrives armed with plenty of clues. But it’s going to take personalized info from your organization to really fill in all the pieces. You’ll scream (with laughter). You’ll cry (for help). Murder has never been this stylish – or this much fun.
Hooray For Hollywood is a great team building event over a lunch or dinner function, and makes for a killer party. You’ll never look at Angela from Customer Service the same way again…

Ice Cream Making Challenge
Turning raw ingredients into sweet and delectable ice cream requires expertise, precision and creativity. It’s a fascinating process that will require all of your team and leadership skills to be put into action.
The Ice Cream Making Challenge combines the knowledge gained from various expert workshops with the unique experiential facilitation to produce an unforgettable and delicious team-building adventure.
The large group will be divided into competitive teams of 4 to 6 participants. Participants must leave their team to gain expertise in one specific ice cream making skill including recipe basics, waffle cone making, equipment instructions, and marketing fundamentals. Teams will then be challenged to bring together their new skills and develop a brand new ice cream flavor. Teams must present their new flavor to our panel of judges and one team will be recognized as the “Ice Cream Making Champions.” All participants will be “winners” as they enjoy their ice cream and homemade waffle cones during the awards ceremony

Ice Sculpting
Let’s get this out of the way right up front: no, we don’t do ice sculpting with chain saws. We are known for stretching the boundaries of fun, but even we have our limits. What you do get is an interesting, out-of-the-ordinary team building experience that serves as a great…uh…icebreaker. Seriously, this is a cool thing most people have never done before, and everybody tends to really enjoy it.
So how does it work? Participants to split up into teams, their ultimate goal being to sculpt a big block of ice into a masterpiece, demonstrating just how powerful frozen water (and teamwork) can be. Once teams are assembled, everybody gets to watch an impressive demonstration by a genuine Mater Ice Sculptor. Your group will learn all about the tools and techniques required. Teams then get right to work. Each group is charged with the task of planning, designing, building, displaying and lighting their very own ice sculpture.
The results are fun, funny, and sometimes pretty impressive. As with all of our events, you get the famous teambonding touch – our facilitators are very good at engaging hearts and minds, and laughter is one of our secret weapons. For an additional fee, you can even have the Master Sculptor carve special sculptures like your company logo, a bust of the CEO, or whatever. Note: this event is surprisingly flexible and portable!

In the Company of Killers
A truly custom murder mystery is the most unique corporate entertainment you’ll ever see. Which helps explain why this is our most popular mystery. Leave it to teambonding to combine comedy, mystery, music (a strolling musician) and audience participation into one exciting event completely for and about your company.
You and your guests begin by meeting four of the most outlandish and interesting characters you’ve ever seen. Motives pop up. Clues are discovered. Then, suddenly, a murder occurs! Now the fun really begins. Who committed this terrible crime? You’ll get to question suspects as you work to solve the crime, and even get questionable help of our comic detective along the way!
This mystery is custom-scripted for your company – a simple three-page questionnaire gives us all the ammunition we need to make your event a rousing success. It’s helpful to know what your guests are like. Who may want to be more “involved” in the show? What will make this an event to remember for everyone involved? It all adds up to a personalized event that’s entertaining, funny and exciting.

It’s Not Rocket Science
Astronauts and Ground Control work together on this white-knuckle mission to rescue the stranded astronauts and safely bring them back to Earth. Remember – in deep space, failure is not an option!
We begin by dividing everybody into teams. Everybody tackles a quick series of problem solving games and communications training exercises. Next, teams are further divided into Ground Control and Space Capsule Crew, with walkie-talkies providing the only means of communication. Each team must complete a series of mind-boggling missions, earning points based on their performance in each event.

Brainstorming and problem-solving skills are required throughout, as teams work their way through hilarious challenges like Team Juggling, T-2 Tower, The Electric Fence, and The Great Escape. The big finale, “Houston, We Have A Problem,” requires teams to draw upon everything they’ve learned together thus far in order to deliver six fragile astronauts (okay, actually they’re raw eggs) back to Earth unharmed.
Teambonding provides everything needed to make your program a memorable success – all materials, supplies and staff, plus video, sound and music to really bring the event to life. Cosmic danger has never been this much fun!

Just Desserts
The newest addition to our acclaimed culinary series encompasses all of the proven team building components of our popular lunch/dinner events, but concentrates on everyone’s favorite part of the meal – dessert! Just Desserts is the perfect choice for an after lunch or dinner program, or as a refreshing way to break up a day of meetings. Preparing and sharing these delicious treats offers a fabulous opportunity for bonding.
Your group is first divided into teams. The fun begins right away as each team comes up with a team name, plus a unique team cheer or rallying cry. This in itself can be quite hilarious, and helps set a tone of excitement and friendly competition for the rest of the event.
Next, each team is challenged to create desserts that look every bit as delicious as they taste. Every team prepares one or more mouthwatering treats worthy of a top French patisserie. Teambonding makes your job easy by providing all necessary ingredients, utensils and recipes. Rest assured, every dish will be made from scratch. No slice n’ bake here – your group deserves the best!
Once complete, all of the tempting creations will be showcased on a Grand Buffet. Everyone can now sample each creation. Then in come the judges. The day’s champions are chosen based on product taste and presentation, with points also awarded for the leadership and teamwork that went into each team’s effort. We can also customize additional judging categories to help underscore a conference or event theme, company goals, or anything else you’d like to emphasize.
A short debrief follows, giving teams the opportunity to share their team names and cheers, plus discuss what they’ve learned about working as a team. We find there are always important lessons that any group can implement immediately once they’re back in the workplace. How sweet it is!
Outcomes
- Fun and camaraderie

“Make-a-Movie” Film Festival
There’s nothing quite like a camera to bring out peoples’ expressive side. And nothing like movie making to bring your team together and get them working as a team.
In this highly involving cinematic adventure, participants are divided into groups representing competing film production companies. The challenge: create the next Hollywood blockbuster. In some ways, making movies with us is a lot like doing it in the real world – each team has cameras, a budget and a deadline. After a short briefing, everybody gets down to business. Teams need to allocate themselves to the many roles required to produce a hit movie. Who will be the actors? Who’s going to direct? And what about a camera operator, props and costumes, even a movie-house marketing group? Clearly, serious teamwork will be essential for success in this anything-but-serious event.

The excitement is contagious as each team screens their masterpiece for the rest of the group. It’s fun. It’s funny. And you can literally stand back and watch people loosen up, genuine smiles bubbling to the surface. It all comes to a delightful climax with a glitzy award ceremony, hosted by none other than Bill Colons, esteemed head of the Canned Academy Committee.
And the winner is…
Outcomes

Mission Possible
This fun interactive team building program is loosely based on the legendary 60s TV favorite Mission Impossible. The event begins with arrival of Agent Phelps, who enters with news of a top-secret conspiracy to undermine the group’s success. He conducts a witty “security screening,” asking participants to answer unusually probing security clearance questions. The group is next divided into Mission Possible task forces. Each is presented with a series of top-secret directives, along with all equipment required to complete their mission.
After a short but crucial planning session, everyone embarks on the missions. These involve a series of funny challenges such as clothing exchanges, jingle and slogan writing, fanciful logo design and providing superior “customer service” to strangers (documented on Polaroid film). Although the premise suggests a competitive event, these missions are designed to be group supportive, and the various task forces develop a sense of interdependency early in the activity.
Once the missions are complete, everyone returns for a chance to present their successes to the group. This is followed by a summary talk by Phelps, who draws appropriate analogies and lessons from the mission achievements. The key message: working as a team ensures that your group will never again face a Mission Impossible. Loads of fun, and right on target.
Outcomes
- Small-team focus with broad cross-team goals
- Fun adventure with a wide range of challenges
- Morale booster
- Friendly competition
Features
- A fast and fun secret agent challenge that highlights teamwork!
Ideal Usage

Space
- Flexible to the environment.

Openers, Energizers & Initiatives
Start up your meeting with a rocket booster of good group energy, and keep it going with our Ice Breakers, Openers and Energizers.
Openers are high energy, brief exercises that get everyone pumped up, mingling around the room, and quickly connected in ways that might take days to accomplish otherwise. Openers also set a positive tone immediately, and let people know that this meeting will be nothing like the traditional meetings of days past. Depending on the meeting’s key themes and audience dynamics, there are scores of Openers that are sure-fire successes for kicking off your meeting right.
Energizers are brief, interactive exercises and surprising games that you can Plug n’ Play at key points throughout your agenda, and keep everyone guessing about “What the heck is going to happen next?”
Energizers work best when they are pre-planned, and thematically linked to meeting topics or principles, and get people actively involved in expressing that topic through fun and upbeat sounds, voice, movement, and interpersonal contact. Also, Energizers give people a needed physiological boost, and a mental break from the usual meeting format.
Initiatives
- These activities tend to require teamwork, trust, open communication, and creative problem solving. Individual roles and group dynamics are discussed after each activity. As play continues, teams acquire new information that rewards flexibility and inter-team communication. Unexpected events occur causing teams to improvise, adapt and collaborate with other teams to accomplish the objectives.
*No meeting is complete without some well placed Openers, Energizers & Initiatives like Secret Agent, Personal Best, Group Juggle,, Human Bingo, Hero and Villain, Incorporations, Two Truths and a Lie, Ball Toss Patterns, and many others.
Experience

Operation Military Care
Operation Military Care is an impactful program that will put your group through an engaging, team-building activity leading up to the final challenge – the care package assembly for our military heroes!
It all begins with the entire group broken up into sub-teams and placed in different starting locations. From the start, these teams are required to gather items and materials that will comprise the care packages. These items are spread over a large area. Travel is difficult as the team must use “stepping stones” (walking pads) during the journey. From competition to collaboration, teams realize that only a shared, concerted effort will allow the project task to be completed on time.
You’ll be amazed at how energizing and uplifting this event can be for everyone involved, and what your team can accomplish back at work after an event that pulls everyone together for such a rewarding cause. We offer an optional post-activity facilitated discussion, which of course can be customized to underscore your event theme, company positioning, etc. This is one project that will be talked about for months in the workplace!

Product Pipeline
This spirited interactive business simulation encourages participants to work together within their small teams, as well as within the larger “company.” Each small team or “department” of 4 to 8 people works in an 8’x8’ area that is connected to the working areas of other teams.
Groups must use limited supplies (PVC, balloons, bamboo stakes, rubber bands, etc.) to construct a device that will safely transport the maximum number of marbles. The real clincher: each team’s section of the pipeline must interface with those before and after it. Your pipeline has minimum marble “revenue” requirement to meet. Pipeline departments also have a budget that they can spend on additional materials. Your designated marketing department presents a wonderfully creative pitch for the pipeline product before the final moment of truth. This diversity of roles gives everyone a chance to be included.
This is a great way to emphasize big-picture thinking, and clearly demonstrates how individual contributions add up to overall group success. Product pipeline includes a customizable debrief focusing on team effectiveness, communication, seeing the big picture, and time and resource management. Come on, let’s get the ball rolling!
Outcomes
- Resource Management
- Problem Solving
- Team-based innovation
- Leadership

The group was skeptical at first but, by the end, everyone was involved in something. Not an easy task with 200 people. It was very fun to see the meeting chair sitting on the floor in front of Rob, listening to him present the wrap up to the group. From start to finish we were pleased.”

The Progressive ‘Networking’ Dinner
Tired of boring business dinners? Would you like your group to meet each other in a fun, non-threatening way on the first night of a conference, or get to know each other better while enjoying a fabulous meal? The Progressive Dinner is just the recipe: a unique combination of fun, fine dining and team building.
Our “Cocktail Party” game starts the evening off right with a fun and energetic Ice Breaker for the entire group. Then, it’s fast-paced fun as you share a different table with different people for each course: appetizer, salad, main course and dessert. Each course features a table top game or exercise for everyone to do together. It’s all carefully designed to encourage team interaction and fun while improving team skills. Depending upon your group size, each participant will dine, laugh and play with over 40 new people!

Pub Crawl Scavenger Hunt
First, there was the pub crawl. Then came the scavenger hunt. Now, for corporate groups in search of treasure on and off the rocks, we have morphed these two popular concepts into the only and one Pub Crawl Scavenger Hunt. Unlike other pub crawls, which focus mainly on imbibing, our journey includes mind games, scavenger hunting, plus delectable trivia.
Your teams visit up to five bars, learning fascinating facts about spirits (did you know that in Fairbanks, Alaska, it is illegal to serve beer to a moose?) and unique drink recipes. Teams will also be on the hunt for treasures like mermaid-shaped swizzle sticks and other bar memorabilia. After completing hilarious challenges at each pub, teams race to the next venue, where progress is rewarded with spirits and other prizes. At the final destination, each team creates and names its own signature cocktail, with samples of the winning drink provided for the entire group.
Our Pub Crawl Scavenger Hunt can be tailored to your city of choice, and further fine-tuned to fit any other specific needs or requests. We also offer a non-alcoholic version of the game, Grub Crawl Scavenger Hunt, which incorporates most of the same elements as the Pub Crawl Scavenger Hunt. Either way, you’re in for some serious team building fun!
Outcomes
- Increase communication
- Break down barriers
- Boost morale
- Prove that learning can be fun
Features

Rickey Rackety Car Derby
This event is the ultimate in teamwork, skill development, use of resources and trust as teams build various styles of cars.
PVC CAR DERBY
NASCAR has nothing to compare with these racers! Your teams will build and decorate a car that will race against time and other entries to see who will get to the Winner’s Circle.
Teams are provided tires, axles, limited lumber and some tools. Teams develop a blueprint, build a car complete with chassis and body, pass a safety inspection and then “Let the Race Begin.” For the less physical folks, there is also a racing suit to be designed, as well as a team chant.
After the construction is complete, people-powered car race for the gold. Ingenuity and teamwork are the focus of this fast-paced event that puts the “T” in Teamwork!
PIMP YOUR RIDE
Everyone has a dream car: that one special automobile that is fashioned for style, comfort and speed. Just like on the television series, you’ll get a chance to “pimp” someone else’s ride. Your group will be divided into teams made up of planners, supervisors and builders. The goal: to build a model car to the “owner’s” specifications.
Each team receives a unique owner profile which outlines the car’s look, speed and budget. Planners will develop the construction budget, timeline and materials list for purchase. Supervisors will insure the team follows the timeline and budget guidelines, as well as assign various tasks and supervise the project. Builders will pimp the ride (perform the actual hands-on labor).
Teams will be judged not only on their teamwork, but meeting budget and building within specification. The final challenge will be a series of races on a downhill plywood track. Do you want to build consensus in your group? Do you want to strengthen communication skills while promoting a sense of camaraderie? Then ‘Pimp Your Ride’ – it’s the best deal on wheels!
Your program comes complete with sound, music, decorations and awards for the top two teams, plus all necessary car building supplies and tools. We also provide an engaging Master of Ceremonies, and enough courteous event staff to ensure that all goes smoothly.
Outcomes
- Increase team communication
- Strategic planning

Space
- An empty parking lot or large paved area is ideal. We’re also happy to stage this event in a large indoor space. Contact us for full details.
Experience
- “We couldn’t be more satisfied with our Rickety Rackety Car Derby experience. We contacted you on very short notice (at the end of December) for a series of meetings in January in 4 different locations around the country. Your team responded quickly and were able to scale up or down based upon the meeting size. This tied in directly to the theme of our meetings. At one location, we were asked to quiet down by a meeting going on next door…we were having too much fun!
Harry and Pat and all of the crews worked with our meeting planning groups to ensure that everything went smoothly. We changed the activity around a little bit to allow for some structured debriefing which Pat and Harry seamlessly worked in to the program.
The teambuilding event tied our whole meeting together and really left a positive message with everyone who attended. Several people told me afterward that this was the most fun and informative meeting they have attended in several years with Shell. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.”

School for Spies is our enhanced, totally up-to-date evolution of our original “Spy” program. This hilarious new version features more spies, super high-quality production values, plus improved spy exercises with the kind of innovations you’ve come to expect from our upgrades.
The nation’s most prestigious espionage training academy, the School for Spies, is about to hold its annual graduation. Everyone attending has invested years of grueling effort to become part of the elite group that gets all the glamorous assignments. These lucky few are also the spies who get all the cool new gadgets.
The problem is, there’s only room at the top for a few outstanding spies. So think of this as your final exam – the chance to prove once and for all who really deserves those international assignments, flying cars and big expense accounts..
Your group is divided into teams representing high-level intelligence organizations from around the world. Each team is armed with a briefing package including coded messages, top-secret passwords, audio tapes, electronic bugging devices and things too highly classified to mention here. Participants must break codes, follow clues, and retrieve sensitive information, all while pushing their mental acuity (and their scruples) to the limit. Some challenges require stealth and cunning. Others call on creativity and imagination. At least one features guns loaded with genuine rubber suction darts. Almost all require that you leave honesty and integrity at home.
We know of no better way to help your team get to know one another. This event is a wildly exciting step away from the day-to-day routine, and always filled with surprises. It’s also really effective at pushing out-of-the-box thinking. Let’s face it, success as a high level international spy these days requires a lot of right-brain ingenuity.
There’s a reason we are widely acknowledged as the absolute leader in corporate team building (lots of reasons, really). After just one School for Spies encounter, you’ll see for yourself why we’re considered the best at what we do.
The Story behind School for Spies
Back in 1998, we introduced Spy School, a radically innovative concept in corporate team building. In almost no time, the event became wildly popular. We found ourselves staging programs throughout the U.S., as well as in Europe, Australia and Canada.
Believe it or not, our client list soon grew to include the U.S. military, along with several real U.S. government intelligence agencies. We admit it – we were shocked too. Insurance companies wanted in. Credit card companies. Defense contractors.
In late 2004, our writer left and while he created the original program, we’re happy to report that we have continued, to grow, enhance, and fine-tune this highly effective concept. As a result, today’s School for Spies client roster includes the National Reconnaissance Office, Goldman Sachs, Verizon, ThermoFisher and dozens of other teams representing many of the world’s largest and most successful companies.

Secret Agent Man
Imagine that behind your company’s carefully crafted facade, your team is actually a fabulous international network…of spies! One of your informants has learned that 007 himself, James Bond, is finally planning to retire into a well-deserved life of leisure. Q and Moneypenny are now actively engaged in the search for the next Bond.
Does someone on your team have what it takes to lead a life of international intrigue? Can your people maintain cool heads in the face of unspeakable dangers? Are they willing to risk everything? You’re about to find out.
Things get shaken and stirred when the evil Dr. Maybe and his equally evil henchman (teambonding CharActors all) arrive to break up the fun. A full fight breaks out in front of your astounded guests. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a murder takes place right before your eyes. Now it’s up to your group to figure out who’s behind it. And who’s that new Bond girl? Expect the unexpected as the mysterious Ivana Luvvayou and her accomplices compete to assist Bond – or die trying.

Survey Says
How well do you know your co-workers, company and company culture? You’ll have a great time finding out with Survey Says, our hilarious adaptation of the classic long-running game show. Highly interactive, team-focused, unexpectedly gripping and hysterically funny, match your team’s minds to popular opinion in this corporate take on a timeless TV favorite.
Survey Says provides high-energy, wildly interactive team building. It’s invariably a unique learning experience for every participant.

It all begins when you organize your group into teams (families) of five to 10 contestants. Divide them up by departments, or any other way you like – we are happy to help with this if you choose. Remember, the more diverse your teams, the funnier the guesses – and the greater the benefit in terms of improved relationships.

Game questions can be unique to your organization (ESPN customized all their questions based on an actual company survey), or let us mix company-specific questions with other fun general-knowledge categories.

Tabletop NASCAR
You might remember the famous Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. Now teambonding offers the same car kits, plus a four lanes racetrack with all the fanfare and regalia of a NASCAR event. Tabletop NASCAR is a competitive team building event that gets the entire crowd involved as teams design and build model cars to race against one another.
First, teams participate in challenges that earn them “money” to spend at the Auto Parts Store. They purchase the basic car kit, and can rent woodworking tools by the minute. Together, they must design a car, shape and customize it, and paint it. But the highlight of the day’s activities is the actual racing: heats which fold teams into three finals, so even losing cars have a chance at glory. The suspense builds as cars screech down the track in a series of heats, Semi-Finals and Final Championships.

Action throughout is narrated by our Track Announcer, backed with exciting music. Once final victory is claimed, trophies you’ve chosen and provided are handed out at a hilarious Awards Ceremony. In the end, everyone is a winner.
For team building at its best…ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!

Team Cuisine
If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we like to eat. The Team Cuisine team building experience is a fun and effective way to bring diverse team members together, bond as a group and learn more about each other through food preparation, cooking and dining together.
Working as a team, you get to prepare, enjoy and celebrate a serious multi-course gourmet meal. The idea here is to combine ingredients, dishes and styles of food from around the world onto one mouthwatering menu, to represent the diverse cultures, ethnic backgrounds and tastes of your participants. We focus on your group’s experience first, and then match the food to your specific event.
Team Cuisine is teambonding’s flagship team building experience. Through the use of food preparation, your team will experience itself realizing their high potentials and understand themselves better collectively as a team. This program makes an especially great choice for getting everyone on board quickly on the first day of a company conference, or as a celebratory event after a successful project completion.

TeamProv – Improvising for Success
“A course in Improvisation is the closest thing there is to a class in how to collaborate.” Ed Catmull, Pixar co-founder and president
TeamProv uses improvisational theater games for Team Building. Your group will play with your collective imagination through activities that involve creating simulated circumstances and relationships, throwing in some high stakes and making strong, detailed choices – as a whole group, in pairs, in teams, and solo within teams. You’ll support one another to achieve the goal of each game, cheer each other on, and succeed in a more creative way than you ever could have imagined.

Team Teddy Rescue Bear
This is the original teddy bear team building event! Each team has puzzles to solve, codes to decipher, and secrets to unlock in order to acquire the resources that they need (part by part) to build a series of custom teddy bears.
Team Teddy Bear is a unique way to bring your own team together while providing priceless comfort to children who experience a car accident, house fire or injury. More than 11 million children are transported for medical care each year. A Rescue Bear given by a police officer or firefighter can be a powerful way to help ease pain and worries, calming a child significantly at a potentially frightening time.
Participants divide into small work teams. Each group must complete a series of games/challenges to earn team points. For the final thirty minutes or so, teams use their accumulated points to “purchase” all parts and accessories necessary to build a high-quality Rescue Bears. Teams choose shoes, clothing and props to add life and personality to their furry new creations. Even the bear assembly itself is served up as friendly competition, with groups racing to complete yet another novel but highly engaging task. Each group also makes a cape, handbag, or some other piece of clothing, which will be personally signed by each team member.
Once the bears are completed, they are presented to your local police or fire department. To maximize the event’s positive emotional impact, you can even arrange for a fire truck and/or police car to show up. The stories these local heroes tell can really bring your newly created bears to life.
Participants in this fun, challenging program exercise critical thinking and problem solving skills while taking part in a wonderfully altruistic event. For everyone involved, the benefits are truly priceless.

Players will be moved periodically during the tournament to create new team pairs and to change the mix of players at each table. Players will also be issued Pro Cards they can use to get help from our poker expert during the tournament.

Trumped: You’re Hired!
Donald Trumped himself has cooked up this exciting team building competition for your company. Are you up to the challenge?
The Donald apparently has acquired a controlling an interest in your company, and wants to see how smart, fast and competitive his new employees are.

Winery Team Challenge
The Winery Team Challenge begins with a fun, informative Wine Tasting and ends with a highly entertaining and competitive Sangria Making & Marketing Challenge. Our sommelier starts the program with a brief history of wine, followed by a tasting that incorporates aroma sticks to help identify key ingredients in each wine.
Your group is then formed into teams that will become different wineries. Their assignment is to come up with a name and develop their own brand of Sangria. A brief history and definition of Sangria is explained, followed by a fun Trivia Contest which helps further educate your group about this wonderful beverage.
Each team then picks a leader and heads to the marketplace to find the ingredients they want to make their own Sangria. They will also create a name for their product, design a logo for their label and aprons – and decorate their tables for their final presentation which includes a song or jingle they write and perform about their great new Sangria.
Lastly, we organize a taste test contest to decide which team has created the best tasting Sangria. Prizes are then awarded in three different categories; the winner of the Sangria Trivia Contest, the team with the Best Marketing Campaign and the team with the Best Tasting Sangria.

You’re In The Game
Presenting fast paced, high-energy fun where it’s actually okay to feel like a pawn in the game of life. Imagine a giant, colorful game board – one that’s actually large enough to accommodate your entire group! Now imagine the music kicking in. The size XXXL dice start to roll, and game play begins. Your teams work their way around the game board, furiously trying to answer trivia questions as they complete a wild and wacky series of “team challenges”. But there’s more to life than being right – they’ll also earn points for team spirit, creativity, even enthusiasm.
It’s important to remember that You’re In The Game is completely customizable. We’ll work with you to incorporate any company trivia or other specific information you provide. Or simply let teambonding provide all the questions (and answers). We offer a number of specific themes, for example: You’re In The Game Of Chocolate, You’re In The Game Of Wine, or spice up a wedding with You’re In The Game Of Love. Or hit us with something totally new (we can take challenges just as well as we dish them out).

Experience
- “The feedback was OVERWHELMINGLY positive.. I still have bruises where the VP ran me over trying to catch a ball. We can be a bit of a stiff crowd at times… and Michael did an amazing job warming us up and getting us ‘into’ the game. One of the best off sites we have ever had! Honestly.. We will use you guys again. Please give your team this feedback. Thanks!”
