Team Building
From experiential to extremely entertaining, we have a program to fit your goals. Our Team Building events help to increase morale and productivity at your company while your employees have fun in the process.
The Parallax Assignment scavenger hunt has been adapted for several locations in the Bay Area as well as Palm Springs and as far away as Pennsylvania. The Aeronauts “hot air” balloon challenge is compact and mobile and has toured from coast to coast. We also have Game Shows that can be fully customized with your company’s content. Our outdoor Team Games can be a part of your Company Picnic or just an afternoon away from the office for a little bonding and fun.
These are our most popular but we have designed and produced a number of different experiences depending on the needs of the client. Road Rallies, Rodeos, Film Making, Sand Castles, Battle Bots, instruction, construction, destruction … for any function.

The goal is to build a lighter-than-air craft using the materials provided, present it, and race it. Teams receive points for each of the three phases. The full programs lasts about half a day depending on the number of teams. It can be shortened by skipping the Presentation phase.
BUILD – The craft must be constructed within the allotted time and must adhere to certain design parameters. Points are awarded based on use of materials and creativity.
PRESENT – Points for this phase are based on creativity.
RACE – This is all about time. The faster the team can race, the more points they will receive.
A couple of caveats to this Team Building experience:
- This is suitable for indoor areas only. The air currents of the outdoors, no matter how slight, make it too difficult to control.
- The indoor space must have a ceiling height of at least 14’
For outdoor team programs that last a half day or more, we’ve created a number of Multi-Stage Challenges to add to our Team Games.
Through an Obstacle Course (several to choose from), across the field to a giant Connect 4 Basketball Game.
Find puzzle pieces while blindfolded then transport them to your puzzle team on Giant Trikes
We are creating custom team events for our clients every day. What can we create for you?
The Parallax Assignment relies on the varied interests and knowledge within a typical group. The goal is to complete a series of tasks within a finite area. To complete a task, the team must decipher the hidden meaning of a short statement which contains the location they seek and the task to be performed once they get there. Teams receive one task at a time and must successfully complete that task before receiving the next one. If a team is stumped they can come to the game facilitator for help. The amount of help they receive will depend on how much they need it and the general mood of the facilitator. Each team will complete the same tasks but in a different order. The game has been written so that the players will have as little impact as possible on the public and staff at the location. Most of the tasks require a written answer with a few requiring a photo. A couple of the tasks can be completed without going anywhere. Each team is given a map of the area used for the game. Using the map along with the task is essential. The task by itself will seem to be gibberish without looking at the map.
The Parallax Assignment is fun and oftentimes frustrating … kind of like life. In trying to resolve the cognitive dissonance inherent in the tasks the team will learn to see things in a whole new way.
Teams of 6-10 people compete in a series of games designed to both engage and entertain. This program can be modified but generally lasts about an hour and consists of 5-7 games.
