Team Building

Team building is starting to take off in a big way this year. Finally, after a long period where teams were being taken apart, the mood is changing and teams are being built again. It's great to see the large corporates coming back and investing in their people. For a while they were concerned that they should not be seen to be doing anything which could be viewed as frivolous.

It's a shame that words like 'frivolous' and 'jolly' are used around activity based team building. We always say that fun is not a four letter word in business, in fact it's an essential factor in increasing productivity and retention in a business. It would be intolerable if everything had to be serious after all.

Hustle - Learn to card count

Hustle is our latest event in which participants learn how to card count and master other techniques to improve the odds at a casino. They then get into teams to take on our real casino with trained croupiers. This can be set up in an hotel or venue in the UK.

Card counting is not as hard as it might sound. People usually think of Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man remembering the order of four decks of cards. Actually the technique is much more straightforward and it's interesting knowledge to get to grips with.

This is an interesting new event, and learning how to play Black Jack and Roulette is good fun.
