Channel the spirit of the world’s most famous reality TV show with Team Fun’s ultimate Survivor challenge! In this high-energy team building experience, participants are divided into tribes to compete in physical challenges, mental puzzles, and strategic games. Teams will navigate through carefully designed tribal challenges, form alliances, and participate in our unique immunity challenges – all while building stronger workplace relationships. Perfect for groups of 10-200, this 2-3 hour adventure works best outdoors but can be customized for both indoor and outdoor venues across Australia.
Our professional facilitators ensure every participant is fully engaged, creating an unforgettable experience that combines strategy, teamwork, and friendly competition.
Event Overview:
Survivor starts, as most of our events do, with a conversation! After the initial enquiry, we will schedule a discovery session (Zoom or phone call) to go through the details and start to plan your event. Getting to know your team is an important step for us. During this call we can also start the planning process by discuss where you want to hold the event, whether there are any mobility issues or anything else we need to know about your team.
We will then put together some information for your team before the event, so everyone knows exactly where, when and what to bring!
Closer to the event, we will stay in touch so that we can truly make it your event, not ours.
On the day, our team will setup and be ready at the location well before your official start time. Wearing our bright yellow branded shirts mean we will stand out and be easy to find!
Following a short briefing, we will get your group into smaller tribes (we will discuss team make ups with you during our initial discovery session) and give out team coloured Survivor buffs.
