It all started in Seattle with a crowd laughing and screaming. It was coming from the World Famous Pike Place Fish market.

People watch FISH! once because it’s fun, but they watch it over and over because its message is fundamental to satisfying work

and delighted customers. The key is in four choices that each of us is free to make every day: *Play, *Make Their Day, *Be There, and *Choose your Attitude. Many are using FISH! to increase

retention, improve service, inspire passion, and boost performance. If these are goals in your workplace, then this is an

excellent team building activity for your meeting.

Geo-cache

What’s Included: GPS receivers Bandanas Containers

How it Works: The group has the option of a 10 to 20 clue hunt depending upon time allowed for the event. The group is divided into teams and each team will receive a team color, bandana and GPS receiver. Once the teams are divided, the facilitator will ask for team captains.

The teams may want to divide the responsibilities for the hunt: guide, scribe, navigator, organizer, and riddle master. Each team starts with a way-point, a marked location on the property, and the receiver only gets you within about 15-20 meters away from the marked waypoint. The cache is hidden from geo-cachers to increase the challenge and fun and team members work together to solve the caches clues. As they solve their caches, team members make notes of the places and items they have found at each waypoint. The first team back at the start with the most correct caches wins!

Geo-caching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to hide and seek containers (called

"geo-caches" or "caches"). A typical cache is a container containing a log-book and/or items for trading (we suggest company-branded products or

trinkets). Geo-caching is most often described as a game of high-tech hide and seek.

Join the fun of a high-tech, treasure hunt on 55-acres of a scenic estate. Geo-caching is a fun group activity fostering a strong sense of

community and support for the environment. Or you can gear the caches toward your business whether it is a product launch or guiding

principles.

Each team will have a choice of fruits, berries, ices, yogurts, juices, and some other items to make them say, “Hmmm, what is that?,” like spices, hot sauces, chocolate sauces, jams, pre-serves, salts, peppers, etc… This will both add to the mystery of making the perfect smoothie and cause the guests to say, “Hey, am I supposed to put salt in this con-coction?” Each team is given 45 minutes to make their perfect recipe. At the con-clusion, the chef will determine the winner based on a taste test and with the ingre-dient cards as written. They will be judged on taste, creativity of team and smoothie name, work space cleanliness, and best overall winner. Once the winners have been announced, groups should feel free to walk around and taste competitor’s product. The chef may prepare the winning smoothie as directed on the recipe card for the mid-morning or mid-afternoon break.

Murder mystery

Can the mystery be solved? Will the murderer be revealed? The Manor House of Graylyn is the perfect backdrop for a classic

“whodunit” where guests are also the suspects!

An unforgettable evening of laughter and excitement your guests are the key witnesses to a brutal murder, and must solve critical clues to discover

the guilty party before they strike again…

Your guests have been invited to a charity event held at the home of Lord and Lady Gray. The evening takes a turn for the worse as a horrific mur-

der is committed. As the story unfolds no one avoids suspicion. Through guest’s deduction and cunning they must discover evidence to bring dirty secrets and sordid lies to the fore. The guests have the op-

portunity to discover clues and evidence around the Manor, but assessing which are relevant and which are ‘red herrings’ will not be easy.

During the cocktail reception, characters will socialize with your guests, introduce themselves and begin to set the scene. Your guests are given the opportunity to interact and begin to form opinions of people in-

volved in this web of deceit. As the guests sit for dinner, the murder is committed. The guests will team up to work together in order to solve this most gruesome crime. As dinner is served, revelations are discov-ered and the plot thickens. It becomes increasingly evident that appre-hending the killer will not be easy. As dinner ends, guests will have the

opportunity to interview the suspects and test their theories.

Finally, the guest are asked to submit their theories on who committed the murder and why. The evening is brought to a climax when our lead investigator reveals the murderer and his or her motive; the moment of truth has arrived as the murderer confesses all and attempts to escape...
