I could see that everyone was very engaged

I think having an opportunity to just have some creative play was valuable as a way to have people who don't usually work together begin to form relationships. From looking around the room, I could see that everyone was very engaged and really putting a lot of energy into their projects.

We had an outstanding time!!! The app was easy to use, and we enjoyed the challenges, especially the ones that were St. Louis specific. The event was a huge success and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that asks.

I like how it can be customized

This was a fun and very flexible team-building event and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I like how it can be customized as far as where and when it is done, the duration of the event, and which challenges the teams elect to attempt.
