It was a great twist to a fun show that brought teams together in a fun and creative way that was far from the norm. I will definitely call The Ant and the Grasshopper again for any future team building and entertainment needs. Thank you so much for everything!”

Some members called this their best Team Building experience ever, as well as their best Reebok event ever. Thanks for bringing this to us! ”

J.R.

“The Ant and the Grasshopper pulled off a fabulous event for CSN Stores. If you think team building activities are made for small groups, think again. With a group of 250 people I thought I'd never find a company to pull off a great event for that many people, but the Ant and the Grasshopper did it and we would absolutely hire them again”

L.S.
CSN Stores

 

“Thanks again for a great program. Spy School was a big hit with all of the meeting attendees. In reviewing the survey results from the meeting, it scored the highest of all the content of this 3 day meeting. It was a lot of fun and I heard comments like “We should always have a program like this at our meetings.” The pictures have already made the rounds throughout the company. The laughs continue on!”

T.B.

“Everyone was able to participate in the scavenger hunt and had the opportunity to learn a lot about one another on their teams. It was a pleasure working with the facilitators of the Ant and Grasshopper team, who were very well organized, down to earth and a lot of fun! We look forward to working with you in the future! ”

“I have to tell you what a great time our firm had participating in the "Incredible Race". I must say the digital version was well worth the extra money to see all the other teams. Some of the testimonials included: "That was one heck of a day I spent with you guys on Friday. I had a ball. Those memories will last me the rest of my life. They are many and a lot of them make me feel like I was in high school or college again." A.W., Partner; "I had the best time with you all Friday morning. I am not sure how much fun the other teams had, but for me - it was as fun as any Vegas trip that I have taken! Thank you all!" D. McC., Senior Accountant; "I think the best part of our team was everybody contributed. Thanks for making my first Company event an unbelievable experience. The whole day really cemented the fact that I have come to work with the right company. The fact that we won was just icing on the cake. What a great day!" J. P., Healthcare Consultant; "The Incredible Race enabled a variety of people from different departments and locations to work together on a team in this unique setting. Everyone came together with the same mission and goals to win, using communication and strategic planning without even realizing it. I highly recommend this type of event for companies, groups and individuals for teambuilding and just plain fun." D. H., Human Resources ”

“On behalf of our planning committee and the entire staff here at NESPIN, again, just wanted to say thanks for yesterday’s murder mystery [Close Encounters of the Worst Kind]. The musician and actors did a great job. I know it wasn’t the easiest group to control, but you all did an excellent job. The live music was a nice added touch. You guys are the talk of the office today, and I think a lot of the employees still think that “Albert” really was the food and beverage manager at Lake Pearl Luciano’s. It was good to see the employees laugh so hard at themselves and your presentation. Thanks again to you and your team.”

“The show “Not the Academy Awards” that your group put on for our company was sensational. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much. It is still being talked about within the company and the photos that were taken showed everyone having a great time. The band and the vocalist were great and the song you wrote for our company went over extremely well. We most certainly will be using your group again.”

From the President of our company: “I think I am not alone in saying that yesterday's event was a complete success.”
From a co-worker: “I just wanted to let you know that I had a great time at the outing yesterday, thanks for all your hard work!! You make it look easy, but I know it's not.”

“After a recent acquisition, the merging of old and new employees had proven to be quite a challenge. However, the Wacky Olympics was just the right program to pull everyone together. Apprehension was soon replaced with excitement! The reviews have been outstanding even from the most discerning of employees. The Ant and the Grasshopper are superb!”

“Our team really enjoyed The Ant & Grasshopper hunt in Las Vegas, it was challenging and fun, testing our resourcefulness, time management skills and ability to formulate a plan as a team. People are still talking about it after the conference. The facilitators were well-organized, and proved that you can learn and laugh at the same time.”

“SupplyCore’s exercise included employees from all around the world ranging from 22 years old to 55 years old; over half of which were new employees. Because of our wide range of ages and cultures, Spy Hunt was the perfect team building event for us. Everyone felt included and was able to participate. We left Las Vegas with new relationships, a strong competitive drive, and lots of funny stories.”

“Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Spy School. I've gotten only positive feedback and it was apparent during the event that everyone was having a great time.

“I wanted to let you know that our folks have said nothing but great things about the Incredible Race! There have been comments like "this was the most fun we've ever had at a meeting" , "this team building event really brought the group together which is exactly what we needed" , "I don't think I've ever laughed so much at a work event". They truly had a great time and learned a lot about each other and focused their strategies as true champions and team mates to get to the finish line. I think that was probably evident from the pictures. Thanks again and Darlene and I have already recommended you to many others in our organization.”

FYI As a result of their recommendation we have facilitated our Incredible Race (digital version) for three more Johnson & Johnson companies, who in turn have happily recommended us to even more departments and companies within J&J.

 

“Thank you so much for a fun, well-organized event. My group had so much fun and they're still talking about it days later. We will definitely use your services again in the future. Many Thanks! ”

“When a team building event was first mentioned, of course, we were met with apprehension. However, after participating in The Scalawags and Hooligans scavenger hunt on the Las Vegas strip, the group of conservative accountants would definitely do it again. They were able to show their wild side and had a great time.”

K.S.
Ernst & Young

 

“I have been racking my brain to come up with an appropriate quote for you. It is so hard because there are so many great things to say about our [Wacky Olympics] event. Mark was perfectly suited for the company and everyone’s sense of humor and temperament. The other facilitators were a joy to work with. The games were a combination between riotous fun and actual communication and cooperation between people who otherwise would never have interacted so closely. Honestly speaking, most of the participants were highly skeptical about what they were embarking upon by agreeing to attend. However, everyone walked away having had a great time, a positive attitude and a new look at their coworkers. That could not have been accomplished if your company and coworkers hadn’t outdone themselves so spectacularly, and if the Ant and the Grasshopper hadn’t lived up to everything they promised to provide in their event. The event was so enjoyable; I have been asked what other types of activities you provide. So, you may hear from us again later this year! Thank you again for all of your help and attention. It has been greatly appreciated!”

“I want to let you know how pleased we were with the Spy School activity and Kevin's facilitation at our retreat function. The Spy School team-building event, as led by Kevin, was the perfect conclusion to our retreat. It got everyone working and problem-solving together in a very fun and competitive atmosphere. Everyone who participated had a great time and we can't thank Kevin enough. We definitely won't hesitate to use The Ant and the Grasshopper again in the future for all of our team-building needs. Thanks and I look forward to working with Kevin again!”

"The event was FABULOUS! The Battle of the Sales Teams was AWESOME and it ranked #1 as the best part of our sales meeting (#2 was our round table discussion with the CEO/President of our business unit). Oh my god! I never knew my guys could be so wild. My entire sales force had a wonderful time doing the team building event and had nothing but wonderful things to say about Kevin and Kathy. It was truly a hoot and I have passed your name on to other departments who I am sure will be contacting you soon! You promised a memorable event, and memorable it was."

“How did things go you ask? How about incredibly fun, outstanding and just plain fabulous! I'll start with Spy School and I am not too proud to say that I was very concerned. This is a very, very skeptical group and there were a lot of grumblings about the whole thing, even as we were walking into Spy School. But it surpassed my expectations a hundred times over. Everyone - even the most skeptical/obnoxious - fell right into it. Very soon after Professor X [Kevin] explained the game, people were running all over the place trying to save strangers from danger, decode audio tapes and bug one another. …I watched the other groups and saw people who don't normally participate much literally running from one thing to another. It got even better when it came time to keep score. [Afterwards] so many people in the group ended up in the lounge together replaying the afternoon. That didn't happen very much over the course of the week so I was pleased to see it. Usually the groups don't mingle very much.”
