This Isn't Just an Activity. It's an Opportunity to Develop Your Team.
A successful corporate team event should do more than fill a calendar.
Understand
We start by understanding your people, your organisation and what you want the experience to achieve.
Design
We create an experience around your objectives, group, timing, location and preferred level of challenge.
Facilitate
Experienced facilitators guide the experience, maintain momentum and help participants engage meaningfully.
We don't simply provide an activity and leave your group to work it out.
We listen. We understand. We design. We facilitate. And we help turn participation into meaningful team interaction.
PLAN YOUR TEAM EXPERIENCEExplore Barangaroo. Challenge Your Team. Discover How They Work Together.
Barangaroo provides a distinctive Sydney environment for corporate team development.
Rather than keeping your group inside a meeting room, Thrill can transform the surrounding Barangaroo environment into an interactive team experience.
Our facilitators can create custom-built Amazing Races, Treasure Quests and challenge-based programs that encourage teams to explore, communicate, make decisions, solve problems and complete tasks together.
The environment becomes part of the experience.

Different people need to contribute to achieve the objective.
Problem Solving
Challenges require teams to think, adapt and make decisions.
Leadership
Participants can discover how leadership emerges and how different people contribute.
Creativity
Not every challenge has an obvious solution. Teams need to think differently.
Strategy
Teams decide where to invest their time, energy and resources.
Challenges Can Be Customised To Include
Use the character and environment of the precinct.
Clues, tasks, missions and strategic challenges.
Photography, creativity and problem solving.

- Flexible team experiences
Your team isn't simply following a map.
They're building a shared experience.
Fun Gets People Participating. Facilitation Turns Participation Into Learning.
A great team building activity gets people laughing. A great team development experience gets people thinking.
Thrill can combine both.
Our facilitators use experiential activities to create opportunities for participants to observe how they communicate, collaborate, lead, solve problems and respond to different working styles.
Integrate MBTI® or DISC® Into Your Team Experience
Understand differences. Improve communication. Strengthen collaboration.
People don't all communicate, make decisions or approach problems in the same way.
Where appropriate, Thrill can integrate accredited and certified behavioural and personality profiling approaches into a broader experiential team program.
MBTI®
Explore preferences and differences that can influence communication, decision making, information processing and teamwork.
- Communication preferences
- Decision-making preferences
- Different perspectives
- Working-style preferences
- Team interaction
DISC®
Explore behavioural styles and how people interact, communicate and respond in different situations.
- Behavioural styles
- Communication
- Interaction between colleagues
- Adaptability
- Workplace relationships
Experiential Integration
Rather than treating profiling as an isolated classroom exercise, connect the framework with practical challenges.
- Experience
- Observe
- Reflect
- Discuss
- Apply back at work
Build the Learning Into the Experience
Before the Event
Establish the purpose, desired outcomes and appropriate preparation for participants.
During the Experience
Teams participate in practical challenges requiring communication, collaboration and decision making.
Facilitated Reflection
Participants explore what happened, what worked and how different people contributed.
The key question becomes:
"What does this mean for us back at work?"
