How it works

2,700 years ago, Homer wrote the epic poem The Odyssey. In the summer of 2026 this epic poem becomes a Hollywood blockbuster, and more importantly, a collaborative teambuilding event of epic proportions. In this 90 minute event, your team takes on the role of Odysseus during his tumultuous ten year journey home from Troy to Ithaca. 

To conquer the sea, your team must master the art of collaboration. Your team members will face a series of interactive puzzles, mental challenges, and strategic games designed to test and sharpen core communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.

To maximize networking and engagement, the host will mix and rotate the teams into new crews for every single challenge. By the time the voyage ends, every guest will have collaborated with the vast majority of their coworkers.

Does your team have what it takes to take on a Cyclops, resist the Siren's call, and escape a land of dangerous Lotus Eaters? Find out in this epic chance to hone your teamwork skills and celebrate your team’s listening, problem-solving skills and mental prowess.
