About Us<\/h2>\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Back in 1992, two brothers named James and Steve Corbett started\u00a0Outback Adventures & Events, an adventure company that sold paddling and hiking expeditions. As the business grew, so did the types of activities that the company offered.<\/p>\n

Then one day in 2000, one of our long-time customers at McDonalds asked about the possibility of creating a team event based on the popular TV show, \u201cSurvivor.\u201d Never shy of getting our hands dirty, we worked day and night to build castaway-themed challenges. The event ended up being a huge success and went on to become our very first team building activity.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n \"\"\n
\n
\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Since then, we have created over 30 unique team building activities for corporate groups across North America. Many of our team building activities are still based on popular TV shows, but we also offer charity, budget-friendly, and social networking events. We\u2019ve also developed our range of activities to fit any group size, dynamic, ability, and location.<\/p>\n

In 2015, we introduced training and development<\/a> programs run by professional facilitators who specialize in skill development and experiential learning<\/a>. These popular programs are interactive and effective ways to develop the skills of any team. They focus on topics such as leadership, management, sales, communication, and team dynamics.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

In 2018, we officially changed our name to\u00a0Outback Team Building<\/strong>\u00a0to better reflect the services our company offers. To date, we have helped over 30,000 corporate groups across North America build better relationships through memorable experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loved just how easy it was to pay for our event and get all of the details<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n \n\n\n

Our point of contact at Outback provided top notch customer service by reaching out to me immediately after booking, as well as following up with me several days before our event, and after our event. He helped me get up to speed with the app and the event and was super professional. I also loved just how easy it was to pay for our event and get all of the details to print out and to run the event. Whoever decided on Clue Murder Mystery is great!<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n
