Holiday Time Machine
Step into the Outback Time Machine with your colleagues and take a trip back through holiday pop culture history in this trivia game show team building experience.
What Is Holiday Time Machine
Step into the Outback Time Machine and take a trip back through holiday pop culture history—live and in person!
Join your colleagues for an adventure filled with laughter, friendly competition, and a dash of nostalgia. This fun, fast-paced holiday-themed team building experience features challenges inspired by classic holiday favorites—from trivia about movies, songs, toys, and TV shows to rounds of charades and more.
Your lively game show host will kick things off with a few icebreaker “table-hopper” rounds to get everyone mingling before forming teams. Then it’s game on! With festive décor, upbeat energy, and plenty of buzzers, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped onto a live holiday game show stage.
Holiday Time Machine Agenda
Intro, Ice Breakers, and Team Formation
Your event host will greet and banter with your group as you arrive, warm them up with a social mixer and quickly divide them into their teams. The social mixer is designed to give guests a great opportunity to make connections with colleagues they don’t often get a chance to talk to.
Gameplay
\Your host will challenge players to 3 to 4 “Decade Rounds” in the main room, with diverse challenges and excited video and audio samples. All points earned are awarded to the team leaderboards. At the end of each Decade Round, teams will prepare for the time jump into the next decade with a team brainstorm in breakouts.
“Humzingers”
An exciting last chance to add points to your group trivia scores, your host will challenge teams to a “Humzinger Bonus”. In this challenge, your event host will assign a selected player on each team an iconic pop song that they must hum to their teammates. If their team can guess the song that’s being hummed, they win bonus points for the team!
Wrap Up, Winners + Conclusion
Your host announces the winner, presents the winning team with medals, and takes a group photo if requested.

Holiday Time Machine Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if we have inclement weather on the day of our activity? (For outdoor activities)
We appreciate that weather is not always predictable, so we have a back-up plan in the event of poor weather. We can switch your event to our indoor app-based Team Pursuit event at no extra charge. You would need to arrange a backup space for the activity, and we need notice of 2 hours to make the switch.
What if I need to change the date of my event?
We understand that plans can change, so please reach out as early as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Date changes may incur a change fee, please reach out to your Sales Engagement Consultant to discuss further.
Where do these events take place?
Our events can take place anywhere. We have event coordinators located across North America who can come directly to you—whether it’s your office, a venue of your choice, a meeting space, or a unique location that best suits your needs. We’re flexible and ready to make your event seamless, no matter the location!
Can I add more attendees to the activity after it has been booked?
Yes! Speak to your Event Manager to adjust your activity numbers, and additional fees may be applied.
What if I need to make a last-minute change to my activity?
Depending on what the change is, we recommend discussing all changes with your dedicated Event Manager to see if we can accommodate the change.
