help organizations keep their people "in the race." It can be held
at resorts and retreats, as well as within your local neighborhood - and
can accommodate groups of a few people to a few hundred.

indoors or outdoors, or a combination of both - even incorporating poor
weather conditions as part of the Project Task. Our version is
competitive, but everyone is a winner - no one is fired.
The most flexible format of all the reality themes. Can be delivered within a
timeframe of two hours, a half day, full day or several days. No athletic
ability required. No one gets voted off ... it is designed to keep talent "on
your island."

opportunities to be the Contestants, the Producers, and the Bankers.

We have re-invented the
scoring system and format to be team-based, and no one knows who is winning until the very
end of the game. You select the questions
for educational content, or for fun and entertainment ....or a
combination of both!
