Wild Goose Chase ... our new ridiculous Smartphone Event!

Take a smartphone-powered scavenger hunt. Mix in some Fear Factor. What do you have? A Wild Goose Chase. Get out of your comfort zone, take on daring challenges, hilarious missions, fun times, and friendly competition!
Reward your team with a Wild Goose Chase

The Wild Goose Chase Event can be modified for a variety of environments and locations. The game can be played in a few hours, or over several days during a conference. We can provide custom challenges and tasks to match your location, theme, company or objectives of your meeting. All you need is a few smartphones and a group of willing participants! 

We recently ran this event for the 20,000 delegates at the Pacific Dental Conference in Vancouver. It is a great networking and conference activity for large groups, plus it allows delegates to visit local attractions and see the city sights. 

Participants can easily download the mobile app and play the game as an ice-breaker or networking activity, during breaks or as part of evening social functions. It is a great way to interact with colleagues and collaborate on fun team challenges. Teams collect points and can monitor their progress and see the live leaderboard throughout the game. Plus, this event also works for those on a budget, for large groups it can be as little as $5-$10 per person! 

We also offer a city version open to the public! Do you want to experience your own Wild Goose Chase? Check out our Urban Goose Chase! We will be bringing the fun and excitement to a city near you this summer!

Crime Investigators in Action!

Crime Investigators Team Building Activity
from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events
Hi, this is an event post from Marybeth in our Canadian Outback Adventures & Events Toronto Office with another corporate event update. 

We recently ran a Crime Investigators event for a security company up in North York, Toronto. It was great to have a few ex-police officers as the participants because they brought great expertise to the table. Teams had to go around to the various crime scenes that were setup, collect the evidence, document the scene and ultimately help our CSI team solve the crime. 

It was an awesome event, people were super excited to get out of their usual work environment and interact with co-workers. There was great enthusiasm, friendly competition and really good sense of humor, which made the afternoon a lot of fun. It was great to see everyone working together in their teams and really coming together to get the best out of everyone. 

See photos and listen to the post-event wrap up here!
