The event is fully facilitated with survivor maps, company currency, team colors, and opening and closing ceremonies. All groups have the opportunity to choose between the options below or work with our team to build a custom event that specifically meets your group’s needs.

Cactus Hunt Teams work together to fill up a 6 foot tall hollow cactus with water from the bay. There are holes in the cactus so as the water rises, more team members will have to stay back to plug the holes.

The object of the event is to float the ball at the bottom of the cactus, all the way to the top.

Meteorite Mission Teams work together to transport a radioactive meteorite through a custom-made obstacle course. Communication, creativity and group synergy are a must.

Driver’s Edge Team members race remote-controlled vehicles through a comprehensive and challenging race course. The twist is, the driver is blindfolded, and team member communication and guidance are strictly limited. This game is built on trust and communication.

Team Trex Teams race each other on giant, pliable skis with ropes attached to them. Group communication and team synergy will crown the winner of this event.

Around the World Team members use a 20 foot parachute map of the world to answer company and geographic related trivia questions. Each continent and major ocean has a special net sewn into the parachute.

Team members submit their answers by guiding their team’s world traveler into the net of the appropriate continent or ocean.

Bombs Away This event involves a three-person sling shot, colored ammunition, and targets 40 yards down the beach. Teams work together, keeping their colored ammunition in play, and trying to land the most assaults on the targets.

THE AMA ZIN G R ACE / 10 0 PER PERSON This event takes treasure hunting and team work to a whole new level. It is derived from the Scandinavian activity of Orienteering, where participants find flags in the woods with a map and compass.

Teams work together in search of puzzle pieces and parts for their tribal trophy. Team members are led by clues around our beach, bay and garden locations in search of puzzle pieces and trophy parts.

The immediate objective of the event is to retrieve all the puzzle pieces and parts to their trophy. Once the puzzle pieces are obtained, the group must come together to decipher the puzzle and follow the instructions to obtain the final elements to their trophy. Once the teams get all the trophy elements (tools, tribal beads, paint, Tiki mask, wooden body parts), they will have to construct and paint their trophy (Tribal Tiki Man) according to the clues that the puzzle passages have stated.

The first group to complete the task is a shoe-in to win but not necessarily the victor, as groups will be judged on their overall Tiki Man presentation and tribal war/fertility dance.

Your captain of ceremonies (that’s us) energizes your group with an exciting intro, including pirate chants, a map of the seven seas, and an explanation of the day’s challenges. The entire event takes 2 to 2.5 hours.

The first stage of your event is the blueprint for the boat and pirate flag (15-20 min.). Teams survey their stock of shipwrecked material (inner tubes, fittings, rope, duct tape, flooring, paddles etc.) and draw out the best way to make a seaworthy vessel Teams are also provided with pirate artifacts to create their ship’s flag and to get into character.

Additional materials such as paddles, inner tubes and fittings can be bartered from the pirate store by completing extra pirate challenges.

The next stage in the Pirate’s Life is the construction and decoration of their famed pirate ship. Teams are also responsible for creating a one minute long “Swash Buckling Chant to perform when they present their boat and name.

The third stage is where it gets really fun. All boats get in the water and follow their treasure map, paddling their way to booty! This is where we find out who built the solid seafaring vessels and who built the not so worthy ones (land lubbers).

Teams return with haste to the beach where they finish their final task and claim victory.

An awards ceremony follows, based on a points system, including fastest craft, most creative boat, best team work, and best Swash Buckling Chant.
