The Sandstone Team Building Blog

I am delighted to be the bearer of good news.  As mentioned in earlier posts to this blog (here and here) , we have created a brand new activity and are launching it this week.  I get to tell you a little about it.  “First Contact” is exciting, very new and very, very different.  It extends our portfolio nicely into pastures new yet exhibits our signature characteristics of being fun with a solid learning and development base, enough variety to engage everyone whatever their likes and dislikes and scalable for the smallest to the largest of group sizes.

Set in the near future, teams compete and collaborate to make First Contact with an alien intelligence that wants to test the human race to see if we are ready to join the intergalactic community.  To do so, teams face a variety of tasks that involve their very own robot (called Max, a mobile masterpiece with attitude!), cracking intergalactic puzzles, showing off their astro-navigational skills (well, kind of…), moonwalking and a whole lot more.  It’s designed to deliver much mirth while also offering real team development.

First Contact is available now.  All of our activities combine fun with genuine learning for those clients who want it.  As you might expect, some are more learning-oriented than others and First Contact fits into that category yet has a real sense of fun and presents ample opportunities for belly laughter.  We’re having particular success with our activities in this category at the moment as many clients want to maximise what they get from their team building sessions in these challenging times and First Contact will add to the choices available for anyone looking to do the same.  We expect to have the details up on our main web site later this week and before the Easter break.  if you can’t wait, speak with Nikki now on 01158 715690 to find out more and she will gladly send you a detailed brochure.  Or fill in our web form and Nikki will gladly respond to that.

We’ve invested significantly in developing and creating First Contact and we’re confident we have a real winner on our hands.  You might as well try it sooner rather than later.  As the saying goes, “Resistance is Futile”…
