Heritage Walk Team building

Two weeks back, I was part of a fun amazing race-like team building event at Georgetown's Heritage sites. 

The team building started with a light breakfast at Eastern and Oriental Hotel followed by a short introduction going over some basic ground rules, then the race was off!  Teams accumulate points by solving puzzles along the heritage trail and performing team tasks.  The routes were mixed up so there would not be multiple teams at once at the same location.

Buffet lunch was served at E&O Hotel's Sarkies Corner.  There was an afternoon session which included several more team games and some boring team building talks.  Last part was announcing the team winners. 

Surprise, surprise!  Our team won even if we really didn't set out to win!  The only downside was our prize - a self-help book, boo!
