Getting the Most from Your Team Event: NY

Dear Team Events:

I have been charged with the arduous task of planning my company team building activity this year. BUT... they could not have chosen the a worse person for this task! I hate these kinds of things and I am dreading planning the event...


I have talked to my supervisor and she has approved working with a professional team building company. So I am in the process of finding a good match. What ideas do you have? ANd what can you tell me about your company?

Dear "Not"


Clearly you have been one of the unlucky suckers to be forced by the powers-that-be to go on a corporate retreat in the past. You're fed bad food, forced to listen to inane chatter about team building, and often forced into ridiculous exercises on “trust building”. Every time I’ve succumbed to my bosses wishes, I’ve needed another whole retreat to reboot my personality. Or how about the “fun” stuff you’re forced to do at company picnics? The embarrassment never ends there either…

Team Events, of Bayshore NY, features some unique and (Shock! Shock!) actually fun group events that help develop communication and collaboration skills while keeping your coworkers from sinking into comas. Suitable for the hole gamut of company shindigs, Team Events works with the organizers to develop tasteful, friendly, and enriching experiences that leave you invigorated not eviscerated. Programs are specifically developed and modified to be able to happen anywhere: your offices, a hotel ballroom, or conference space, the company parking lot, the subbasement – you name it! Each “adventure” is different and deliberate. The Team Building Olympics has specifically designed tasks given to participants that are both intellectually taxing and exciting. The levels of difficulty and fun is up to you, so don’t worry the Team Events experts will throw you into the gauntlet. The staff is there to always ensure a safe and exciting time. Nobody wants to lose an eye at a corporate retreat….Although, it would give us all something to talk about over lunch the next day…..

Is your organization suffering from a lack of “out-of-the-box” problem solving? Run the troops through Team Event’s 60ft long Obstacle Course. Nothing drums up some creativity like climbing over and under obstacles, including a 12ft inflatable rock wall. Help your surly band of underlings learn how to work together with a Scavenger Hunt using GPS receivers and mysterious clues, or eliminate office competition and backstabbing with a Survival of the Fittest challenge. My personal favorite is Foosball, every old jock’s dream! Round up your staff in a 30'x30' Human Foosball arena where they get attached to harnesses, which only allow the combatants to move within their own area. Played like regular fooseball, players pass the ball and try to score goals. Trust us, it’s hysterical and actually helps you develop a closer relationship with that weird guy who sits in the next cubicle.

Team Events also can spice up the action with blowguns, crossbows, spears, bolas and any other items you’d find on an episode of “Lost”. The sky’s the limit! Team events prides itself on working with their customers to create specifically styled events that work with your corporate culture. You won’t have egg on your face after a Team Events Team Event, but you might get more money in your paycheck.

Give us a call at 1-800-BEST-PARTY to schedule your event today. I promise you that this year's Team Building event will be one that DOES make you a "Team Player."
