The Amazing Race

The whole team thoroughly enjoyed the Amazing Race around Adelaide. Highly recommend the program for teams visiting a city – we saw a lot of Adelaide that we probably wouldn’t have seen if not for the race. Total Team Building’s co-ordination was seamless! Katie & Darren were lovely to deal with and made things so easy. Nicole was absolutely Brilliant! We were all feeling a bit foggy after a day at the wineries and a late night, but she certainly helped get us moving! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thank you!

The Go Race (now known as our Amazing Race) program was planned & structured to incorporate specific elements of the strategy we were presenting to our employees, rather than being an off the shelf/one size fits all program. Katie & Darren provided great guidance in how to best get across our messages to our employees. This allowed us to debrief the Go Race activities during our afternoon strategy presentation and link these activities back to the strategy. During our Go Race it was very clear that all of our employees were having a great time and enjoyed the various challenges put in front of them. All employees were encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves, and the program allowed them to do this in a supportive environment. It was fantastic for our Management Team to be looking at 70 happy, excited and a little bit tired employees at the end of our event. Many employees have asked when we will be able to organise another event. The coordination & preparation of our event was first class. We had ongoing discussions regarding the various activities, the schedule for the event and contingency plans should the weather be unfavourable. In the days leading up to the event it looked as though we would need to go with Plan B due to forecast heavy rain. Total Team Building planned accordingly, leaving the decision as late as possible and staying in touch with us. Fortunately the weather held out and we were able to proceed as originally scheduled. On the day Darren & the team of facilitators were outstanding in coordinating with each other at the various checkpoints, ensuring each activity ran smoothly and that each employee was getting the most out of the experience. It was also great that our Management Team that were not participating in the Race were able to tag along to watch and assist wherever possible. We could not have asked for a better run, more effective, enjoyable event, especially given the very reasonable cost for the morning’s activities. Thank you so much to Darren, Katie & the team, and we look forward to working with you again soon. Thank you all again!!!

Our Amazing Race was very enjoyable, the time flew so quickly, we can see how you would definitely enjoy 3 hours of racing. It was a good mix of intellectual and physical challenges.

Darren and Nicole did a great job of co-ordinating and assisting us, in the lead up to the day Katie was super helpful and responsive on email.

As above, both Darren & Nicole had a smile on their face the whole time and good tips for us. If we use TTB again the future we’d be happy to ask for Darren and Nicole again.

Thank you once again for all of your help since about September when we started contact about booking this December event

Our Amazing Race was great, well organized and executed Thanks!

The program co-ordination was great. Very helpful and kept in touch throughout the event Darren & Sophie were very helpful and engaging. Would highly recommend to fellow peers

I personally thought that the program was fantastic – different to what you would expect and it did test you ! – well your fitness for sure! I really enjoyed the day!

Great organizing, fun activities, good level of “assistance” provided when the total team brain capacity was unable to interpret their challenge/task, great fun all round. Well done, thorough and friendly, it seemed that everything ran smoothly and to plan. Thanks again I will happily recommend your services to others should the opportunity arise.

Thank you for running such a precision Go Race (now called the Amazing Race) exercise. The program was well organised and the tasks were not as easy as they seem. There was a good choice of fun and using problem solving skills. The program was exceptionally well co-ordinated and the facilitators were both friendly and fair. Thank you for a fantastic day.

Our Go Race (now know as the Amazing Race) was great. The co-ordination and facilitation from Total Team Building was excellent – very professional. Thanks a lot for organizing this for us – was nice to not have to worry about it all! It was a really enjoyable afternoon.

The team really enjoyed the event and are talking about the next time we do a team building event – so I think the event was a great result. Co-ordination of the event was very good. We appreciated the contact from Darren prior to the event advising he was bringing poncho’s for all. I think a couple of teams are lucky to have received some assistance with a puzzle on the day.

Thank you for organizing the event and hope to use you again in the future.

Really good day with a good mix of departments (People) in the teams which lead to greater interaction and getting to know people a whole lot better. Was interesting to see the really competitive people come out. Overall I really enjoyed it! Very good coordination by TTB … good use of the QR codes for the clues … and it was well coordinated and well run throughout the day. Both staff members were extremely positive and encouraging which was a plus when you get stuck on the Quoits. Overall really positive fun day that helped bring the entire WAFC team closer together.

The day went very smoothly and the facilitators of our Go Race (now know as the Amazing Race) were great. Thank you very much to the facilitators for the day! It was a great day that was enjoyed by all staff who participated!

Our Go Race program (now known as our Amazing Race) was very professionally managed and encouraged everyone to participate which is what we had hoped for. The facilitation was very neat and professional – All the instructions were clear and there was no confusion whatsoever. Well done! You guys did a great job.

The activities in our Go Race (now known as our Amazing Race) were varied and made us use our brains, more than we do at work! The race was really well organised and catered to all abilities. I had good feedback about the race and how well it was organised and we would definitely do something like this again. Thanks again for a great afternoon. My team had more fun than they expected, and said they would like to do it again!

The Go Race event (now known as our Amazing Race) that we participated in was fantastic. It was an event where all of us were able to participate. It was definitely the team building event that we were after. The video is such a great take-away of the event. The co-ordination was fantastic. From our side, we did not have to do much in terms of logistics. Once we knew our start and end locations, everything was organised from there, which made it very convenient. Facilitation of the day was faultless. On behalf of RSM Bird Cameron – Audit Division, we would like to say a huge thank you to Katie, Darren and Nicole for holding such a great event. The whole day was challenging and it was such a great team building event where we were able to get to know other people in the office. We would definitely consider Total Team Building for another work function!

I have nothing but positive feedback come back from those participating. One of my direct reports wanted to pull out as can lack confidence at times. I explained that I wanted her to take part as a HR activity – I got a text from her Friday night thanking me for pushing her to participate as she really enjoyed it (and on winning team!). I thought the facilitation and overall coordination was great.

Great way to spend a Friday afternoon with work mates having fun and a laugh. The competitiveness really came out. The organisation of it all was great.

The Go Race (now known as our Amazing Race) was amazing, all the games and activities were not only fun but they also tested and improved our team work skills. From the very beginning to the very end this experience has been so well organized. I liaised with Katie and Darren and always had a reply within 24 hours. Darren and Nicole were well organized on the day and everything went so smoothly, you made my job so easy! Darren and Nicole were great, they made the afternoon so enjoyable and fun, we look forward to holding another event with Total Team Building in the future. I also received the goodies in the mail yesterday – thanks so very much, we will be adding the photos into our next Staff Newsletter. I will also be spending big at Timezone with our tickets! Thank you!
