"Our group had a blast yesterday!! Even at this moment I’m hearing people talk about it to other colleagues who couldn’t attend, telling them how fun it was and how much they missed a great time! I’ve also heard teams talking to each other on what their strategies were and what places they went to! Team # 4 has displayed their trophy for all to see!!! I can’t wait to get the picture CD to show everyone!!
Thank you again for a great day!! We’ll keep you in mind for next time and I’ll be sure to tell other Admins on-site!!"

"It was interesting because the way the teams were split up we were in different roles than normally…so the junior person on the team was telling people what to do."

"I get the greatest joy just seeing co-workers unwind, get to know each other and have a good time outside their offices.
We have research that shows two attributes identifying good leadership- creating structure and taking care of people. The good leader had both sets of skills.
Having fun at work is like going to recess at school. You like it. It’s an emotional release and you come back to the workplace a little more energized, more relaxed.
In any case, you’re in a better frame of mind to do work.
FUN ACTIVITIES MAKE WORK SEEM LIKE RECESS, BOOST SATISFACTION!"

"Thanks! Everyone said they had a great time and really enjoyed the mix of questions. One person mentioned that it was the first time he had ever been on a scavenger hunt and he thought it was a great idea. We split the teams up to ensure no internal hires were on the same team and split up the international associates and they said they were so happy with how well they worked together."
Knapp, Schenck & Company Insurance
"This was a blast from start to finish. Eric was extremely upbeat and provided an atmosphere of fun and good-natured bantering. We had no idea what to expect….it was much fun and would recommend it to groups of any size. We had approx. 25 people, cut into teams, and are still displaying our trophies and blue ribbons. Do it – you won’t regret it"

"Hello Eric,
Yesterday’s Scavenger hunt was a big hit, so much so that people are interested in a bit more information about how the teams stacked up etc. As I mentioned yesterday was a great day and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about the experience and people were happy with the experience! Thank you for helping us facilitate a fun teambuilding day, I’m sure we’ll continue to remember the scavenger hunt for months & years to come.
Thank you,"

"Dear Boston Adventures,
Everyone here at ADQSR (Dunkin Donuts) had a blast during our scavenger hunt!! It was a good way to incorporate team building while having tons of fun. It was nice that you incorporated so many DD specific items on our list! If only we found more VW Bugs!! Yes, we are a competitive crew … but it’s all in good fun. I would definitely recommend this event to other departments and/or companies as a unique and fun experience and I know that my colleagues would as well! It was a tremendous day had by all!
Thanks for everything and I can’t wait to see those lovely candids you snapped!!"
