Inspired by New Orleans’ culture of celebration and collaboration, these experiences help teams strengthen relationships, communicate more effectively, and discover how much they can accomplish together.

ScavengerQuest transforms New Orleans into an interactive adventure filled with problem-solving, exploration, and a little friendly competition.

Using smartphones, teams race through the city solving clues, completing photo missions, and tackling philanthropic challenges. Along the way, participants may explore iconic locations such as the French Quarter, Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, and the Mississippi Riverfront.

Success requires teamwork as groups uncover hidden details and experience the history, culture, and character that make New Orleans unlike anywhere else in the world.

For organizations looking to combine team building with professional development, New Orleans offers several outstanding indoor experiences.

Taking Flight with DISC
Taking Flight with DISC helps participants better understand themselves and their teammates through the memorable Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl personality framework. Teams gain practical strategies for improving communication, navigating conflict, adapting to different personalities, and leveraging individual strengths. The result is a shared language that improves collaboration far long after the session ends!

Intergalactic Adventure
Intergalactic Adventure transports participants to the year 2144, where Earth faces an imminent alien invasion. Teams must communicate effectively, manage limited resources, share information, and execute strategic plans to save the planet. Like a great jazz ensemble, participants must adapt to changing circumstances, trust one another, and work together in real time to achieve success.

For teams looking to enjoy the city’s energy and warm climate, Gold Medal Games is a popular option.

This high-energy competition combines physical and mental challenges in a tournament-style format that encourages participation from everyone. Teams compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals while building trust, communication, and camaraderie. The fast-paced session reinforces the need for leadership, quick yet intentional decision-making, and adaptability while keeping participants fully engaged.

Few cities understand the importance of community better than New Orleans. Philanthropic team building allows organizations to strengthen their teams while making a meaningful impact on local families, children, and community organizations.

Wheels for the World
Teams complete hands-on team building challenges to earn bicycle parts. They then assemble and decorate them before the ultimate surprise ending! The experience often concludes with a tear-filled reveal as the children surprisingly arrive to receive their new bikes, creating a powerful moment that participants never forget.

Wonder Wagon
Teams work together to earn the parts and assemble Radio Flyer wagons that get filled to the brim with toys designed to encourage outdoor play. The completed wagons are donated to organizations serving pre-school aged children and families throughout New Orleans.

SmileKits
Participants earn wish list items through team challenges and work together to decorate and fill oversized totes benefiting children’s hospitals, shelters, military organizations, schools, animal rescues, and other community partners of your choice.

The program works well for company picnics, conference breakouts, employee appreciation events, and celebrations of all kinds.
