Spec me an event

Loki · 5 Oct 2006 at 11:44

Guys I need some help.

My boss has asked me to come up with some ideas for a team event prior to a sales conference. Its going to be for around 20 - 30 People and the venue is going to be in the North West. Cost inst going to be that much of an issue nor will the time. However the age and the fitness of the group will be varied so extreme sports maybe out.

I was looking at something like an indoor Crystal Maze event or something like Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Has anyone done anything unusual that has worked really well and been a good laugh for everyone ?

All help really appreciated as its supposed to be on the 31st October :eek:

went to a crystal maze when I was at school. actually it was quite good.

not sure how it gears towards adults though, but the hand held things fo the team are programmed IIRC. so I am sure there is a below and above 14yrold setting

Hmm not sure how that will fit into the ethos of learning and colaborating in a team and fun environment. I will canvas opinion though

Put 2 grand behind the bar at your local. It will be more appreciated than a corporate team building exercise.

another for paintballing,

or a team visit to the local brothel and pub afterwards

Im thinking that Paintball would be good for the day, some carpola quiz for the night time and then copious ammounts of beer in a four star hotel. Yes, I see a perfect plan coming together

If our team went paintballing I'd end up pinning down the ones who constantly send me junk email and offload an entire clip of ammunition at their faces.

I agree with the 2k behind the bar suggestion. Unless there are some tee-total people at your place. Our team always has a riot on nights out and it is definitely preferred to being forced into some random activity for the sake of team building.

Loki · 5 Oct 2006 at 13:57

Money behind the bar wont be an issue really. We all just get a round in one after the other and charge it to our cards.
