• General Information

Home On The Range Adventure Tours’ team building programs are unique, challenging, fun and keep everyone involved. We can combine a selection of activities to create one-half day or whole day event. These activities can of course be extended to incorporate as many one-half or whole days as desired. And, we can divide your group into any number of teams that will spend the day competing in, enjoying, and learning from an assortment of events and challenges.

Many of our activities can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, making them perfect for breakout sessions, though most of our exercises are somewhat longer. Groups can often complete 3 - 4 of our individual events within an hour to an hour and a half, and can comfortably complete 5 of our events within a three hour time frame. All of our activities are easily adaptable to group size and many can be conducted either indoors or outdoors.

Pricing will vary depending on the number of individuals participating in an event, on the length of the event, and on the particular team building event selected. Ask our expert event planners for an exact price based on your group and your specific choice of programs.

Here are other exciting ideas as to how to spend one-half day with your team.

The Titanium Chef

The “Titanium Chef” dinner battle is based on the format of a Japanese cult sensation. “Titanium Chef America” carries on the legend of “Kitchen Stadium” and the famed “Secret Ingredient”. Battle it out with your co-workers as each team is given the challenge of preparing and serving a pre-determined menu. Teams are provided with all of the basic supplies, ingredients and equipment required. Guidance will be provided for each team by a culinary expert. This expert will also be ensuring the safety of those preparing and consuming the meal.

Each team’s efforts will be judged on the following criteria:

• Flavour;
• Presentation;
• Work Station Cleanliness;
• Team Participation Levels; and
• Effective use of Host Bar.

Teams have the opportunity to purchase upgraded ingredients and/or equipment, to enhance everyone’s dining enjoyment, by successfully answering cooking trivia questions. Correctly answered questions are rewarded with tokens that can be traded for additional equipment and/or ingredients.

Human Trivia Challenge

So you think you’re smart, eh? Then let’s get together and test your knowledge and strategy with this unique, fast-paced and fun-filled version of the famous Trivia game.

To play the Human Trivia Challenge, your group must first divide into six teams, with each team “volunteering” one of its members to become their Game Piece. These individuals will then be attired in the specific colour of uniform and apparel that identifies their team (i.e. pink, blue, green). The ‘Volunteer Game Piece’ then takes its place on the game board, which is composed of vinyl banners that have been painted to represent the trivia board.

The game starts in the usual manner, with each Game Piece rolling the giant die and moving around the board in search of slices of pie. A correct answer allows the team to continue to move. When a ‘Volunteer Game Piece’ lands on a “pie” square, the team must correctly answer the trivia question associated with the colour of that specific pie. If successful, the game piece wins that colour of pie and must attach it to their headgear. The team then has the option of replacing their Game Piece with another team member.

The trivia challenge has six categories, with three being regular trivia categories and three being defined at the discretion of the group. The final three categories will have questions provided by the group prior to the event. This activity is great for conferences, meetings and sessions where the group is geographically diverse, new to each other or would like to build rapport.

The game can be arranged to be as big as 40 feet in diameter or as little as 24 depending on the size of the venue. The mats can be arranged in a number of ways depending on the variables of the group (number of participants, time frame, objectives) and the goals of the session.

Potential Program Locations: Anywhere with room to play the game.

Time Period: 3 to 4 hours

Inclusions: All equipment, staff and a “Trivial Pursuit” themed layout.

Group Size: Variable Season: Year round.
