Team Building Bonding in Boise
One of the most fun and unique team building activities for any size group, a live murder mystery event builds team member relationships in a way that’s both effective and entertaining for everybody involved. You can come to us, or we come to you
Using live trivia as a team building experience means providing your staff with an incredibly fun, competitive and challenging event, creating an environment which naturally fosters positive teamwork, collaboration and communication skills. We will help break down your entire group into perfectly balanced teams which will play in a contest, answering detailed questions about a wide variety of entertaining topics, your company, and each other. Or a family feud style game or other games available
We organize your group into teams who compete in this fast-paced event which has everyone laughing and cheering to become In It To Win It! champions.
We start the team building activity with simple but nerve-wracking games that increase in difficulty. With 60 seconds on the clock, the pressure builds, and team pride is on the line!
A sure-fire winner, In It To Win It works as both a complementary event to a company dinner or meeting, or as a stand-alone event for your employees or clients.
This is a mix of interaction, excitement, fast paced fun, and thought provoking trivia challenges. You will play rounds that include challenges you to find coworkers who have done specific things listed on your bingo card (someone who has been rescued by on-star, ran a marathon, loves ice cream).
Challenges make you work with your teammates to accomplish the challenges listed on your card (rap a nursery rhyme, spell team using all team members, sing out the song BINGO to your host). This challenge is great for companies that have different departments where employees aren't able to interact daily.
Our fun interactive Emcees will pay snip-its of different popular songs and will make you figure out the artist or title of the music being played.
This thrilling casino night team-building game takes the notion of fun and friendly competition to a whole new level. It’s a spirited corporate team bonding event, complete with high-quality roulette wheels, poker and craps tables, real chips and funny money. Our expert Vegas-style dealers really know their stuff, and they’re not afraid to unveil the tricks of the trade.
The Product Pipeline program includes fun and challenging interactive business simulation. The metaphor? Delivering the product to the customer. Each group works as a “department” in an area that is connected to the working areas of the other teams. The groups must use limited supplies to construct a marble delivery device that will transport a maximum number of marbles safely. The clincher is that each team’s section of the product pipeline must interface with those before and after it.
Watson's is available mornings, afternoons and evenings for team building.
