The Generation Game


Our Generation Game evening team building event is as good as it has ever been. There are four different activities and the audience gets really involved, with some hilarious results. The challenges include:-


Catwalk Capers - A volunteer steps forward and the rest of the team create an elaborate costume using a variety of materials. We then have display the results on the catwalk with all the style and sophistication of a real designer show but with two significant differences; the style and sophistication.


We also have The Hakka or Morris Dancing and the evergreen Cake Decorating. The Generation Game is great fun and getting excellent feedback.

DaVinci's Designs

If ever there was a visionary and a genius in our midst it was Leonardo DaVinci. Although his ideas were legendary by all accounts he was not much of a team player, preferring to work alone.

In tribute to DaVinci's genius we created an event called DaVinci's Designs in which teams solve problems based on his work to earn materials with which to paint a picture, using our mosaic format. So teams build a crane and costruct a bridge using Davinci's ideas. Then they finish up by each contributing to a canvas which eventually joins other canvasses to make up one big picture.

It's a great event and a fitting tribute to the great man.

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.
