A new team building game in Cu Chi

We are so grateful that ECCO chose us again for their third team building of the year ! We thank them a lot for their loyalty and their energy.

As they already joined two of our urban games in the heart of the city, that time they requested us an activity in the country side. We created for them a totally new product that we operated 2 weeks ago in Cu Chi province.

That was a very intense and fun day out! All participants divided into 7 teams and as the zone of the game was quite wide, all team mates had bicycles to wander around. A map, a compass and a riddle lead them to their first challenge.

4 challenges awaited them in the dedicated zone and they had to wisely manage their time. The goal was to finish the race with the best time score!

Time Zone is an excellent activity if you are looking for something challenging for your teams. It requires orienteering skills, decision making, creativity and cooperation. And mostly it requires a good time management!
