FOCUS Adventure Organizes a Treasure Hunt Cum City Race Event for The Hindu Newspaper in Darjeeling, India
Encapsulating the right mix of fun, play, feel of the local culture and a sense of thrill, FOCUS Adventure organized an outdoor team building event for the most respected newspaper in India - The Hindu. In the arms of nature-blessed Darjeeling, the annual off-site event was successful in instilling a positive and healthy team spirit.
- (1888PressRelease) December 30, 2012 - FOCUS Adventure, a leading fun-based corporate learning program provider, has expanded its reach to West Bengal's Himalayan city of Darjeeling through a unique team building event for one of the most respected newspaper in India.
"The Hindu", a leading English-language Indian daily newspaper, had approached FOCUS Adventure for a team-building event as a part of their annual off-site meet to be held in Darjeeling. FOCUS Adventure had already conducted one such successful event for The Hindu in Singapore.
This time the main focus was to organize an outdoor team building event that infuses renewed enthusiasm and energy in the team. The backdrop of nature-blessed Darjeeling motivated the facilitators at FOCUS Adventure to come up with a novel idea - "The Incredible Darjeeling Race".
The activity-based, experiential team building event had a healthy mix of local culture, a sense of adventure, fun & play, and above all a spirit of togetherness. A mix of challenges was laid out for the team, such as visiting the sites, cracking clues via advanced GPS devices and time restrictions to complete the activity.
"The challenge for us was to line-up an interesting mix of events, in an unexplored place, such that the team bonds well and gets a flavour of the local culture. Our facilitators came up with an exciting blend of historical and exciting places - temples, a historical school, monastery, zoological park and museums - for the treasure hunt cum city race in the beautiful Himalayan city of Darjeeling in West Bengal," said Mr. Arun Rao, Facilitator at FOCUS Adventure India.
The highlight of the event was the "Eaton Five" challenge arranged at the St. Paul's Convent School. It is a unique game in which participants play Tennis with 'Gloved hands'. Since, this is the only place in India where Eaton 5 can be played, FOCUS Adventure ensured optimal fun for the Hindu team to kick-start an adventure journey ahead.
"The questions and team challenges in each of the locations were sufficiently cryptic and set at an optimum level of difficulty to make the teams spend enough time, not only to win points but also to explore each of the spots. Our facilitators initiated the right spirit for a thrilling & an adventurous session for several small groups consisting of few members. Each group was given different responsibilities, very similar to the ones we see in our work-life," added Arun Rao. "We saw some very different approaches from the participants in the whole activity. Some took it as a hard-core competition & for some it was an opportunity to enjoy the place and have fun with their team members."
The fast-paced team building event successfully engaged the team in fun activities that brought them together and gave them an opportunity to take part in insightful and relevant conversations.
"The Incredible Darjeeling Race organized for The Hindu was an exciting experience for us as we got the team to explore new places and meet team goals simultaneously, in a fun and interesting way," concluded Mr. Rao.
