Companies, organizations, and groups in New York City looking to train and develop their workforce using team building programs can take full advantage of the matchless diversity of New York.

The teams were great and did an amazing job with the various challenges of this fast-paced program. Each racecourse was unique well-planned. The 3D landscaping and decorations were very impressive. We'll post photos and videos soon.

We have begun running our latest fast-paced team building exercise, Slot Car Racing, as a special promotion for interested corporate groups. Our one-of-a-kind Slot Car Racing Team Building Game combines collaboration with competition (and some creativity). Teams design and build unique custom slot car racetracks and then race on each others' tracks in a fun-filled group environment. A perfect team building event for both analytical and creative personalities. The average program length is 2 hours (allowing space and setup/breakpown time).

The response to our popular MovieMaking Team Building Exercise has been very positive. The Lightning Fast Video Challenge has been successful with various size corporate groups and various department types. LFVC is a little bit creative, a little bit problem-solving, a little bit logistics and planning, and a lot of high-energy teamwork. Some of the clients recently have required even shorter timeframes than usual, and for this reason, we have developed an even faster version of this video making team building game.

We're excited to be debuting our new Philanthropic Team Building Program 'Blankets For The Wounded' on Saturday March 28 at the Portside Community Arts Center with a special one-day event, where teams will create custom emergency blankets that will be shipped overseas to soldiers in the battlefield. This is a unique opportunity for people to work together to create something of tremendous value in a fun, positive team environment.

In the city that never sleeps there are so many things to see and do. That is why a movie making exercise is perfect for a group looking for team building in New York. Think James Cameron, Peter Jackson or Steven Spielberg … a movie making activity will either reveal to the world (or at least to the group) a hidden celebrity or remind the participants to stick to their day job! Either way, teams will have a ball checking it out.

We took our popular Lightning Fast Video Challenge Team Building Exercise to the Philadelphia Science Leadership Academy this month and produced an extra high-speed version of the program for high school students. What a blast! The SUPER Lightning Fast Video Challenge was even faster and more exciting than ever before. Each of the six teams planned and directed their short videos within record time, and screened the work afterwards to an enthusiastic crowd. The teams scouted locations, used costumes, made props, and exceeded all expectations.
