Forget those management books with cheesy inspirational quotes. The best teams are forged in the heat of woodland laser combat.
Gel your team. Spark creativity. Or just improve the chat over the watercooler. Whatever you need your team to do, we’ve got team building activities to make them better at it.
A quick afternoon activator, to stop everyone dropping off during the chief exec’s final speech. A morning boost of quad bike madness. A whole day of group games, puzzles, and hijinks – or half an hour of brainteasers.
Below is just a taster of some of the team building events we offer. Talk to our experts, and we can start planning the fun.
Bring out your inner Tarzan with our very own aerial assault course. Scamper over a kilometre of tightropes, zip lines, rope bridges, cargo nets and climbing walls; all 30 feet up in the canopy. It’s a great tool for teamwork, to learn encouragement and motivation. Once you’ve completed the course and taken in the views, we’ll fly you back to earth on our vines (i.e. our longest zip wire).

Yes, we’ve based this game on the big hit TV series fresh out the ’70s. And it’s that type of observation that you’ll need to be victorious. Make sure you also bring your competitive spirit along as well as quick thinking, sharp observation and teamwork. It’s both a physical and mental game, where teams need to work well and identify strengths and assist weaknesses in the group to achieve their goal.

Bubble Football or zorb-ball or zorb-football; whatever you want to call it is fine with us but we know you and your team will have the best time.
Everyone will wear a giant bubble and if you can stop yourself from laughing, you might be able to score some goals – that’s not if you haven’t already been taken out by your opponents. It is a physical game, it can get tiring from all the laughter and there will be a referee there to help get people back on their feet as well as to keep that vital score!

Kilts will swing, cabers will fly and bagpipes will sing to create the Scottish atmosphere of our Highland Games. And with the Strathearn Valley as your highland backdrop, it’s an experience like no other.
