Absolutely Amazing!!!! There is no other way to describe our team activity. It exceeded every expectation I could have had. The picture portion brought me to tears when doing the scoring, I couldn't believe the things our teams came up with. I knew it would be fun, but I had no idea how much. This was truly a "Team" building exercise, watching the men (who are only usually interested in a golf outing), roar with excitement when their teams photo or unusual item was chosen and displayed for all to see. We had a dinner that evening to present awards and the winners, this is a must in bringing things to an end. We had a projector and showed the highlights of the day on screen. The room was "electric"!!!!!!!! Thank you so much the all the tools to make this day a huge success. The only problem I have is what to do for next year, the bar has been set so high, I don't think anything could top this. Fondly, Desiree Clisura, Princeton, NJ

We had our department outing and used your Operation When Nature Calls scavenger hunt. I got really great feedback afterward. Everyone agreed it is much more fun to go to an outing like this with some specific activities and things to do rather than just show up and socialize. Lots of kudos to you for thinking this up. Even the people who thought it was a "fluff" event they would be wasting their time going to (as in we should be working rather than playing) got it afterward and understood that it is work to get a group of 75 people organized to do things together and work together so that when they have to work together in the daily work, there's some comaradie and good feelings which fuel cooperation and better communication. Again, really well done on your part. I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but figured spending a small amount of money on a downloaded, canned event was way better than spending months planning and dry running something we came up with (which we did a couple years ago in another department, we did a "road rally" kind of thing in canoes -- LOTS of work, lots of complaints afterward that it was too hard, etc.). - Cindy Parsons, General Motors, Rochester Hills, MI

You offer a fabulous tool and creative spirit that is invaluable! Monica Russo, MHA, Director of Operations, PracticePartners, Portland, ME

Our Team had our play (Murder at the Midnight Hour) yesterday and had an absolute blast. I can't tell you if we had more fun rehearsing or performing. It was a great team bonding activity and loads of fun. Phemie Wilson-Barrow, HCTC, Houston, TX

Thanks for your excellent customer service. I am impressed with your availability at the time of purchase as well as the followup about a week later. Fortunately, the directions for use of all the documents provided was thorough and I did not encounter anything that was not clear. Using the "When Nature Calls" scavenger hunt was easy and even better, easily adaptable for my needs. Having a very short period of time to prepare an activity for a company retreat, I truly appreciate how well organized your hunt is and the many alternative designs that are built in. I was able to quickly adapt the nature hunt to a shorter time limit and to the public park that we were using. More important than my satisfaction with the program design and ease of use, my staff totally enjoyed the challenges and the final presentation. This was a fun, educational and bonding experience that they are still talking about. Thank you for creating your product and for providing such good support service. I am sure that I will be back for additional hunt material in the future. Feel free to use all or part of my comments as a testimonial. Your future customers will not be disappointed. Keith L. Honeywell, Executive Director, BELL - Building Educated Leaders for Life, Ossining NY

We held the hunt yesterday afternoon and it couldn't have been better. We had six teams doing some crazy stuff and having a great time. The interaction between the members was fun to watch and they really came together to work out problems/situations and help out one another. The level of creativity was beyond what I ever expected. Thanks so much for you're assistance and guidance with the event. I didn't have much time and what you proposed was perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend you to others and look to you for our own upcoming events. Thanks again and take care, William P. Loving, Regional Manager, Molnlycke Health Care.

Most Unusual Item Challenge: Deer poop made into a "snowman"

The team work activity is great!  We held our offsite a few weeks ago and our management staff performed "A Deadly Incentive". Your instructions were thorough, complete and easy to follow. Everyone really got into their role and had a great time being someone else for a moment. The audience was completely drawn into solving the mystery, questioning the suspects, looking for clues, etc. The best feedback I received was that this was the best offsite ever, and from a TEAM-BUILDING standpoint it was a huge success. We couldn't have done it without you...I'm sure this will be a teambuilding workshop that won't soon be forgotten. Thank you again and take care. Mary Ann Skudnik, Key Bank, Buffalo, NY

We're really impressed with the completeness and amount of detail included in the packet. You've anticipated all my questions!! Cylde Rector, Greenville, SC

Hint: Donna has GREAT ideas here > Just to let you know the scavenger hunt was very successful. I tweaked it a bit to add some Amazing Race stuff, a detour and a roadblock, plus they were all video taped doing 3-5 minutes, each 4 ( 7 members) teams with a different movie to perform, costumes all supplied. The participation was phenomenal! The teams watched the video tape while I added up the scores. I was amazed at how resourceful people were from getting the YMCA construction workers along with getting a police officer to pose with a team member. My favorite was the team that took a picture of themselves and put in on the phone to have them all "in" the phone booth!!! We had 2 beautiful "cranes" made out of TP seat covers. Their roadblock was to go to the Sales Office of my town home, sing a Christmas song to the sales person, take a pic with her and have her sign their album page!! I surely wish I had a video tape of that, but the pics were great. Your package was great as starting from scratch would have taken forever. The small investment was well worth it. Thanks, I love your product!! Donna M. Tom, Hewlett-Packard Company, San Jose, CA

We had an absolute blast with your your "Our Town Scavenger Hunt". We learned a lot about each other and had such a fun and memorable time in the process. I'm glad I found your service online. Several other companies were charging thousands of dollars to come out and organize and staff a scavenger hunt. Personally, I think yours was just as good if not better, and certainly less costly. Thanks again. Carrie B. Price, Senior Professional Sales Representative, GlaxoSmithKline, Westminster CA

Just a quick note to let you know how successful our scavenger hunt was and what an asset your plan was. I'm happy to say it was more successful and fun than any of us had anticipated. Worth the price to download the info! Thank you for providing such useful information, ideas, suggestions and such wonderful guidance! I definitely will remember you for any future team activity needs. Regards, Sue McClaflin, Wakeman, OH

The Murder on Maui script was easy to follow and the mystery itself was cute. The company I work for did the Murder Mystery as a fun break from a training retreat conducted away from the office for all the Information System department employees. After the presentation, every one commented on how fun the event was and that it was much better than the Murder Mystery performed last year (by a professional acting group). Thanks for following up on our event and thanks for providing such a wonderful product. Neil Danzig, Columbia, MD

We had a great team-building day! I used your scavenger hunt on the town idea and took pictures in advance of different areas in Uppsala. The teams had fun exploring the town together. I gave bonus points for every stranger they could get to pose for the picture with them. That turned out to be fun. I think you have developed a very good idea with your website and downloads. The price was right (ie, not too high). And getting the material was instant. Paying via paypal was easy and ideal. Overall, it was a great success. Thank you! Best wishes, Ang Nordqvist, Uppsala, Sweden

The hunt was a big success and everyone had a good time. It's a great way to get to know each other and promote teamwork.  We are in Shanghai, China, and this activity was totally new to the participants.  They had no idea what to expect. Thanks for offering this.  I was so happy to get a "do it yourself kit", instead of having to create a hunt of my own, or pay hundreds of dollars for a consultant (which was not an option!). Best Regards, Mary Milan, Ericsson Corporation, Shanghai, China

Thanks for your follow up. We did our Murder Mystery at our company's conference on Tuesday evening and we had an absolute hoot. Everything that we needed was there, and the scripts were first rate (however I don't think my acting skills did them justice, there is definitely no Oscar in the pipeline for me). Thanks again for taking the time out to reply to my order, and I would definitely recommend your firm to any one looking to do a team building murder mystery. Andy Beaton, Inverness, Scotland

I have gotten tons of positive feedback that universally stated it was the best team activity we have done in awhile.  I formed the teams by pairing up people who normally don't get to work together, and that really paid off in teambuilding and should set the stage for future cross-functional cooperation. The only advice I didn't take was to have a co-facilitator.  This would have helped most during the scoring, but next time I'll be sure to get some help with that.  It's nice to hear people say that they are looking forward to the next time we can do something like that. Thank you for setting up such a great event. The instructions were very easy to follow, and everything I needed was included. Thanks again - it was well worth it. Jay Schumacher, Fritolay, Binghamton, NY

What a great experience. My staff participated in the hunt on Friday and absolutely loved it. We have never laughed harder and it sure did help our team "bond." Interestingly enough, several people had to work together that have had difficulty in the past and would you believe, they had a great time together!!!! Thanks a million - I will definitely recommend you hunts to the other managers I work with!!! Shannon Burroughs Campbell, Portland, OR

I wanted to let you know how our team hunt challenge went. I work at a public school and was in charge of a teambuilding activity during our annual retreat. I got at least 5 phone calls today from people just to say thank you. One person even told me that her face was sore from laughing and smiling. Everyone had a wonderful time. It was the perfect activity to end the evening. I also wanted to tell you how simple it was to edit the actual hunt to match our program. Everything tied together perfectly. Thanks again for a great time! Kim Hansen. Grand Rapids, MI

Our murder mystery party was a smashing success.  Not only was it good teambuilding but we found talent in areas we would have never known. Thank you for sharing your work! Charlotte W. Hummel Firm Administrator, Carneiro, Chumney & Co., L. C., San Antonio, TX

This is the only time that we heard comments like, "I was actually challenged by this hunt."  Most of the time they think this kind of stuff is a waste of time. It turned out really well. Lee Ann Moorman, Names and Numbers, Pittsburg, KS

My team and I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt. It was a great experience for my group, and we found such value in the discussion at the end of the activity. We learned a lot about each other, how we can function more effectively as a team, and about our individual leadership skills and styles. I have recommended it to other business partners as well. Thank you. Mickey Nole, Las Vegas, NV

Wow! An email from the owner. Now that's customer service! My initial thoughts about the materials are that they are very thorough and provide more than enough information to run a high-quality teambuilding exercise. This package will save me a lot of time in the planning stages and will allow me to focus more on the meeting itself. I am confident the exercise will go over very well with the team and I'm very excited for that day! Thanks, Megan Smalley, Campbell's Away From Home, Haverton, PA

We had tremendous success with your product. Our staff gave glowing reviews of the hunt and many people stopped me to tell me it was the best activity we had ever had at any of our retreats.  I was able to manipulate the hunt and tailor it to the location and to our company very easily.  The download was smooth and the directions were complete, accurate and simple to use. I was very pleased with literally every aspect of your product.  Just an FYI on some of the things that worked well for our group: I changed one of the projects to have each of the teams create and recite a love poem dedicated to our vice president (the hit of the day as the hidden Shakespeare appeared in several people), I also gave each team three pages of newsprint with instructions to build a paper airplane using all three sheets.  We then had a "fly-off"  in which each team flew their plane off the top of a small hill - the winner was the team whose plane went the farthest distance. The resort had two golf courses so teams had to find logo golf balls for their collections and the most unusual collections included a TV set (loaned by hotel maintenance) and the top hat of the head bellhop (also loaned). I will certainly keep your company in mind as I do planning for training workshops and future retreats - based on these results you do great work. Thank you! Dr. Corby A. Myers Ed.D., Director, Professional Development and Performance Improvement, Cornell Companies Eastern Region, South Mountain, PA

Thank you for the follow up offer of assistance. I was able to download The Mafia Murders mystery game and was able to follow the directions on modifying the script to fit our office event. And just to let you know, your script/product/service has been wonderful! I intend to recommend your company to anyone that mentions they are looking for some type of entertainment for their company event! Great job! Tina M. Bengs, HOEPPNER WAGNER & EVANS LLP, Merrillville, Indiana

We held the team building scavenger hunt this past Tuesday and it was great!! We had a sales kick-off meeting in one of out markets we are getting ready to work and it was a great way to have our reps explore the community and work with people they don't always get to work with. The pictures turned out awesome and everyone had a blast. This was by far one of the best team building activities our office has done! - Nicole Grooms, Columbus OH

Susan you made my day. I could only praise God when I found your website. I'm using your team building hunt for my management & marketing class mid-term. The students are having a lot of fun and are putting into practice the very components of their textbook. Your facilitators' guide was straight forward and I had no problems. I see about 90 students a week and they are all running around the campus with their balloon animals (some have put baby clothes on their mascot). For the challenges, I used the same concepts, but placed our campus in your challenges. Students have been emailing me about this experience it is awesome. This campus has not been so alive! I've even had to stop students from the hunt and make them go to their other classes which are giving mid-terms as well. The only thing my students are complaining about with this mid-term is the fact they are learning about themselves, behavioral issues that they need to address, how quick they dislike dynamics of change. I am also using your assessment tools the teamwork assessment & the grading criteria. Students have been required to keep their animals & bags with them at all times. Students from other classes can steal their bags if it is unattended. Every team has play money, so they are using their critical thinking skills, team building, decision-making, implementing strategic & tactical planning. It has really been great. Thank you very much for making this easy for me. Bowie State University is a Historical Black College with a lot of history and now my students know all about their campus. Thanks again! Dr. Petrina Shatteen, Bowie State University, Ft. Washington, MD

My accounting firm had a BLAST doing your team-building Our Town Hunt as our tax-season “kick-off” last January. To see a bunch of accountants running through a mall and taking photos of their teams acting silly was really cute...and we kept our collections books on display during tax season to lift us up when we were overworked, tired, and in bad moods – the books never failed to evoke laughter!
