Your Team-Building Dilemma Solved with Five Essential Questions

Sharon Carter
July 12, 2016

With myriad offerings to ponder, choosing the right team-building activity can be a daunting challenge. Watson Adventures helps organizers avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. An 18-year industry leader, Watson Adventures has pioneered and perfected its signature scavenger hunts in museums, zoos, and historic neighborhoods, along with many subsequent innovations, like its newest creation, Unlock The Box.  Living up to its best-in-class reputation for truly game-changing concepts, Watson Adventures developed a menu of more than 500 corporate activities, available in more than 30 U.S. cities.

"What proves motivating and memorable for one group is often completely off-target for another,” said Julie Jacobs, chief development officer for Watson Adventures. “We devote tremendous thought and creative resources to determine what will unlock the magic for our clients. So we ask them a lot of questions."



These questions include:

Do your workers have a healthy dose of competition? If so, Jacobs counsels looking for an activity that delivers a true sense of victory to adrenaline junkies. Watson Adventures devises challenging scavenger hunts such as its Secrets of Greenwich Village hunt in New York City for hyper-competitive personalities so that quickly decoding tricky clues wins the day.

Is creativity king at your office? For a classically right-brained group, Watson Adventures counsels an off-the-wall activity such as the company's Team Photo Challenges, which are all about thinking differently with prompts designed to encourage creative results.


Designing an event for the "Brainy Bunch"? Would your group more happily tackle a heated debate than a game of football? Time to celebrate their cerebral side. This is where Watson Adventures' experts suggest a Brain Squeeze hunt or its highly popular Murder Mystery scavenger hunts. Like many of the company’s programs, these are available in all major markets.

Does the mere mention of refreshments get your team's attention? Some personalities think, and perform better, with challenges that stimulate the senses. Watson Adventures developed its delectable Munch Hunts for just such a cohort. These challenges rally the participants to decode food-related clues for the team while rewarding their individual appetites along the way.

Outside the box needs to go in-house? If staying within your hotel, building, or conference center is mandatory, in-house events will make a virtue out of necessity.  Jacobs steers her clients toward the Watson Adventures Trivia Slam game or Grab 'n' Go Office Hunt. An added plus is that events like these are never rained out. 


Finally, Jacobs suggests relying on the expertise of a trusted team-building company for sound advice on selecting the right option for your group. Watson Adventures’ years of experience will invariably steer you to success and options beyond your wildest imagination.
