- Description: "In this fun departure from day-to-day reality, teams must rely on collaboration, creativity and resourcefulness to successfully navigate the urban jungle in search of escaped wild animals. Augmented reality provides the perfect platform for this exotic fantasy adventure.
Just as in real life, players must know their specific roles, special strengths and how they fit into the larger picture. As scientists, some will gather ingredients to make sedative potions. Operators provide clues from large maps showing animal locations. Rangers gather equipment needed to catch and transport animals. Regardless of their roles, every player will need to actively listen, weigh different opinions and make decisions quickly.
This format encourages all team members to participate. It’s great for socializing and having fun, but also allows participants to discover the talents of others as they work together in new ways. Safari is easily scalable, so it’s well suited to groups large and small in a variety of outdoor locations.

On the big day, they’ll open their kits and transform the high-quality ingredients into mouthwatering fresh cheese.
With over 10 years’ experience, our cheesemakers really know their stuff. They also know just what it takes to engage remote teams while bringing fun to the table. Seriously, these engaging chefs provide the secret sauce you simply won’t find elsewhere.
You’ll learn the real (and surprisingly funny) history of cheesemaking through the ages. A cheese trivia game show adds even more delicious comic relief. And this is about as close as you can get to instant gratification – your team will be able to enjoy their new gourmet creations right away, or use them in salads, on pizza or crackers. Just add WiFi, and maybe a glass or two of vino."

- Description: Imagine getting your group together to design and build actual working catapults. Now imagine turning the whole thing into a hilarious competitive team building event. That’s exactly what you get with Catapult to Success.
As you’ll find with all of our favorite team building activities, Catapult to Success is a hit because it inspires teams to work together toward a common goal. In this case, achieving that goal also means you get to fling stuff through the air. We provide all necessary building materials, along with the top-flight professional facilitation TeamBonding is known for.
You get two separate rounds of high-energy competition. First is a distance-only launch event, followed by a distance + accuracy segment that involves catching various improbable objects (no bowling balls or live kittens, we promise). Winning requires a mix of shrewd inter-team negotiation, effective brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and fine-tuning.
This challenge is designed to combine mental agility with collaboration, hands-on construction, and commercial prowess. While the catapults themselves are always the central feature, the overall framing can be adapted to suit your specific objectives. For example, some of our clients want the big takeaway to be “continuous improvement” or “fine-tuning team dynamics.”
