Popular Team Building Activities in New York City

While we can deliver any of our professional development, SmartHunts, or team building activities in New York, here’s a quick list of our 10 most popular programs in the Big Apple.

Bike Build Donation® has been enjoyed for many years by groups large and small. This top selling event continues to resonate with participants as they recall the joy of receiving their first bike. Groups use our new Brainstorm game and/or Minute 2 Win it activities to earn the parts needed to assemble bikes for kids in need.
As seen on the popular TV game show, and adapted for team play, your group will participate in rounds of fast-paced tabletop challenges. The competition heats up as one-minute games are practiced and scored using commonplace items like pencils, plastic cups and a deck of cards. Teams will cheer and have a blast as they vie to be named A Minute 2 Win It! Champions!
BEST Corporate Feud is our corporate game show with fast-paced rounds of survey questions specifically written for corporate groups. Winning “teams” move forward to the semi-finals and hopefully, to the Finale. Our unique design keeps everyone involved throughout the show, regardless of your group size. No matter how many points are on the scoreboard, you can be confident that your participants will score big with this BEST Corporate Feud!
City SmartHunt® is the ultimate technology-driven scavenger hunt. Your group will experience the interactive features of our SmartHunts app on Apple® iPads® that utilize text messaging, audio, video, FaceTime®, social media, QR codes, and GPS with built-in mapping to produce the coolest hunts ever! SmartHunts® have two-way messaging so teams are connected with the SmartHunts Master who tracks them using GPS and monitors photos and scoring from the teams during the hunt.
A CSR program that will touch your heart, Build-a-Wheelchair® is a fun, worthwhile event that benefits the growing population of persons with mobility challenges. Beginning with our Brainstorm game and or Minute 2 Win it activities to earn the needed materials, teams will then assemble, safety test and decorate new wheelchairs for donation. When possible, a representative from the selected charity will arrive to accept and thank the group for their donations.
Mini-Golf Build and Food Donation is a fun charity team building program where your group will design, construct and play a mini golf course using canned and boxed food items. Working in teams, each hole has a special theme and rules, unique to that hole. After the course has been built, an entertaining tournament ensues with scoring and fun competition. Once completed, the course will be deconstructed and the food donated to a predetermined food bank or similar organization.
This exclusive training will guide your team through a progressive series of engaging initiatives followed by rich processing discussions focused on high-performing teams. Throughout the program, demonstrated skills are acknowledged while areas for improvement are identified and immediately applied during subsequent activities. Igniting Team Performance® will enhance individual and team performance in the workplace.
In this collaborative event, teams work together to build an actual bridge that has the strength to support the weight of the entire group. There are two amazing aspects of this project. Each section of the bridge will be an independent artistic representation of your future mission and goals AND the principal building materials of the structure are cardboard and duct tape!
Teams will engage in fun, challenging team building activities leading to the assembly of care packages for a chosen charity. This is an extraordinary way to build team spirit & infuse your group with positive energy and goodwill. Examples of charities include homeless shelters, food banks, hospices, animal shelters, nursing homes, and other community and social service agencies. A representative from the charity may surprise your group, speaking passionately about the organization and their mission.
Fiesta Fun! is a delicious and exciting recipe contest where your teams will combine creativity with culinary skill to make their own brand of Salsa, Guacamole and Golden Margaritas! Experience the sights, sounds and flavor of Mexico with the beat of Mexican music setting the stage for this gastronomical team builder. Once the creations are finished, it’s on to the judges table to see who will win the medal for best taste, creativity and presentation.

    What is a Keynote Speaker?

    Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

    Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

    In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

    As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
