Our Treasure Hunt consisted of good, fun activities both skills based and brain based. The timing of the program was really good and finished when planned. The facilitators made the activities fun, they were well organised and preparations were made before we arrived. The prizes in the chest were also appropriate for our target audience Thanks again!

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day. Great communications by Total Team Building. Everything was very well organized and run professionally. Thank you very much for a great day, we will surely be in contact for any team days in the future.
Thanks again

Our program was an excellent way for the team to bond and get to know each other better. It ensured people had to work together and strategise. “The Chad” was great, he kept everyone on track and served it up to those who did not. We will be back for more!

Everyone loved it! Such a good day and GREAT team building. Many of our staff were working together for the first time and it was really great to see the photos when we came in on Monday. Hilarious and something we could share with out national colleagues. Many of the comments included ‘They did it just perfectly, just the right amount of direction without being bossy, that’s not easy to do’. I would like to say a particularly large thank you to you guys for making it all happen at such short notice without compromise to the program. It was such a lifesaver for me. I also didn’t have to do anything on the day, not even take photos, so it was really great. We are all recommending you! Thanks so much again and I hope you guys have a great xmas and new year! Look forward to working together in 2013!

I have received fantastic feedback. Quite a few in the group mentioned it was much better than they expected. A couple said they were dreading it, but ended up having the best day. Have received quite a few emails saying thanks for organizing the day and how great a time they had. Darren was awesome. Katie did a fabulous job coordinating, communication was excellent and very adaptable to customizing the program to suit Brookfield Multiplex. Thank you. Great day had by all.

Everyone thought it was great. We had so much fun. It brought out a competitive side in a lot of people I never thought existed. Was a wonderful way to break the ice between team mates that haven’t really had much to do with each other. It was brilliant not having to worry about anything on the day and also leading up to the event. It was all taken care of for me and absolutely nothing went wrong. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for making our team building event a success. We have not stopped talking about it since we got back. It was great fun.

Jason I just wanted to follow up and say a huge thank you for yesterday. It was by far the best team building session this group has ever seen. I havent been able to escape the compliments since yesterday arvo and I have you to thank for it. We will definitely be keeping your contact details near by for another session. Thanks again for such a great day Jason and Chad

WOW. Everyone loved the Win it in a Minute program. There has been nothing but rave reviews. I dare say we will play some of the games again soon. Total Team Building’s co-ordination was exceptional. We are a very extraverted group and its never easy to keep everyone focused and following instructions. Darren did an outstanding job of keeping everyone interacting and working as a team. I would like to extend my sincere thanks for an unbelievable afternoon/evening. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. At short notice, within budget and time frame and in the comfort of our office. It was really exactly what we were looking for and more. Right from the initial phone conversation, Katie you were so helpful and reassuring through to Darren being on time, prepared and a fantastic host. You also took photos and a video AND we got personalized medallions! I will certainly be using you guys again soon and telling others. Thanks so much!

The program was physically challenging, hard work but great fun, brought the team together & created good camaraderie – Well Done!

The Team really enjoyed the experience… the timing was great and the co-ordination was exceptional. The event went off without a hitch. A good energy lift for the group and a great start to the new year. It was very well communicated, organized and executed.
Thank you… We will certainly consider Total Team Building for any team building events in the future.

Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and it really brought out the competitive spirit in everyone. I was surprised how quickly it brought the team together.
The guys had a great time and like true sales people they were still arguing over who really won at dinner. The program facilitation was great and Jason really made the day. Thank you!

The program was a laugh a minute and really incorporated every team member. I really enjoyed the music & the friendly fun nature of Kate & Darren.
Total Team Building seamlessly organized the event which was a huge success. Kate & Darren made all team members feel comfortable and motivated them to get involved in all the activities. The nautical theme was consistent throughout the day and was greatly appreciated. The day was perfect.
Thank you very much for all your efforts and the video just showed what a great time we all really did have. On Behalf of the Team I wish you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Safe New Year.

The feedback from all participants was: Wonderful, so much fun, great to interact with others, meet new team members. We loved the content and the variety in the game shows – especially Blankety Blanks. Good Coordination aswell by Jason. Loved the overall event, lots of laughter, team building and communication, it tested everyone’s IQ!!

Thank you for running such a precision Go Race (now called the Amazing Race) exercise. The program was well organised and the tasks were not as easy as they seem. There was a good choice of fun and using problem solving skills. The program was exceptionally well co-ordinated and the facilitators were both friendly and fair. Thank you for a fantastic day.

Our Treasure Hunt was excellent. Exceeded my expectations. The feedback from the participants was very positive and from my observations as a non-participant I was very impressed with the content and professionalism. The facilitation and co-ordination was faultless. I didn’t have to worry about anything (that meant a lot to me). Darren and Nicole were great. I would love to use you again when I get the opportunity.

Our Charity Bike Build program was fantastic, not only did this bring our graduates together but to know we were bringing so much joy to those children that were involved only made it better! The facilitation was perfect! Thank you Jason and the team at total team building, this event was great!
- Team Building Melbourne

The feedback received by the participants regarding our Charity Bike Build was really positive. This is the second year we have engaged Total Team Building to organise a program for us. Compared to the one done last year, I have noticed that to add a charity activity was really a highlight and everybody was thankful about having the possibility of participating in it. We were 100% satisfied with the facilitation. Darren had a great attitude and charisma. Thank you for a good service and client support.

Our Treasure Hunt program was great, challenging and fun, It was also very well co-ordinated. We had very positive feedback from all the participants. Darren did a great job facilitating the program

It was great that our Scavenger Hunt activities had been designed specifically for the zoo using particular animals and locations. The tasks really got the team members working closely together and you could see they had great fun whilst at it! It was very well organized and coordinated. Thank you!

Everyone had a great time on our Treasure Hunt and were very happy even though they had to come in on the weekend. Darren was great, very happy. He got on well with everyone, was clear with direction and had a good laugh. Everything was better than we thought. We had a great day, thank you so much you have a great service!

Total Team Building were very professional through all aspects of organising (booking through to execution). The task was a bit left field which was great and the concept of donating the bikes to a children’s charity is a great way for us to contribute back to the community. To that end the senior managers and graduates were very impressed with the event. Both (coordination and facilitation) were terrific. Very prompt reply to emails, sometimes that little bit of extra effort goes a long way and is noticed by people (such as myself)! Katie had to help with a lot of additional work but was always pleasant and helpful to get it done (I doubt I would have been so) Darren was a great facilitator, he was engaging, professional and funny. Great job guys! Everyone had an awesome time and was really impressed and said it’s one of the best team building events that has been done (and we do a lot of team building events…)

Everyone really enjoyed themselves during our Charity Bike Build. Good challenges, allowed good participation within each small team, lots of creative thinking for the tasks such as pasta towers, and puzzle solving. The facilitation was great – lots of energy was injected into the afternoon. Good structure so people knew what they all had to do, clear instructions and it met the 2.5 hour timeframe that we had allowed for. Keep up the good work – thanks Jason.

Our “Health on the Run” was excellent, Great exercise and was at a level everyone could participate at. Total Team Buildings co-ordination and facilitation was fantastic. They had great interaction with the team and were entertaining. It was smooth running from the day we started planning the event. Total Team Building were helpful and organized and had everything planned to a T, including having a back-up plan if the weather wasn’t to go our way. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun, different way to plan a team building event that incorporates a little bit of friendly competition.

Our Win it in a Minute was very well managed, kept everyones attention for 3 hours and was surprisingly competitive! It was very well organized.. surprisingly well organized in fact. Jason & Kate kept such a large group entertained for such a long time. Very engaging. Huge thanks for making our day such a success! We are looking forward to the bike build at the end of the year !!

Just want to send a quick email to thank you for the event on Friday. It was a great success and everyone had a great time and still getting laughs out of it today. Was nice to see everyone bonding over the games and drinks. It’s a real credit to you and your patience to contain 44 people who had drinks on board to achieve such a memorable afternoon. Thank you again and we look forward to using you in the future.

I can definitely say that it was very well organized, fun and lots of exercise, I was so tired by the end of it haha!! And of course you and Jason are great to deal with and very professional.

We all had a great time on our Scavenger Hunt and enjoyed ducking and diving one another out there and trying to get the better over the other teams. I think it was great that we did not know which event will count how many points and that left you wondering and planning and having to make decisions to later see if they were the correct ones! We all also got to know the city better and each other. I will definitely keep this in mind for future events. We had a great time thanks.

They loved it. I have had great feedback from everyone. The co-ordination and facilitation was perfect again. It was stress free from my end. This is the second time I have used your services and will absolutely use you next year too. I think Minute to Win it as suggested by Darren is a good activity for our team next time. THANK YOU. Yes, capital letters is shouting, a very big Thank you. I really do appreciate how easy you make this for me.

It was absolutely fantastic and we really can’t thank you enough. It was amazing how everyone banded together to achieve the outcomes. The little girls were a delight and I was so thankful that you were able to organise it. I think it left everyone a bit speechless!

We enjoyed it. One of our team members was super-enthusiastic and he got the rest of us organised. Some of the events put some of us outside of our comfort zone e.g. commentating the weightlifting, but most events were completed by my team members in the spirit of the competition. Most importantly it brought individuals together that wouldn’t normally be associated with one another and made us laugh, so from my perspective it was greatly successful. Many thanks to Sandra, Darren and his team.

Just another huge thank you to Louisa and the Total Team gang, you were willing to work with us to fit into our very limited budget which as an NFP is really encouraging and meant that we were able to put on a great day for our staff who work so hard. A superb level of professionalism and communication demonstrated from start to finish, just a great customer service experience!
- Team Building Melbourne

Everyone loved it. The feedback was really positive. I am sure we will be talking about this activity for months to come.
Jason was awesome. Very flexible and easily adjusted times etc to fit in with us
Excellent activity. Was a lot of fun and the team had a blast

We really enjoyed the program and the variety of challenges that the young people were able to participate in. It was great to have them come up with team chants before the session began.
The coordination of the event was great. It was easy and smooth and the Total Team Building team was great to work with.
Darren’s facilitation was great. He was able to engage with the young people and keep things interesting for the duration of the event.
Overall I think it was a great event and a great addition to our program
- Team Building Melbourne

The team loved it and I have received some great feedback. The team enjoyed being able to connect and have fun whilst all working remotely. It was the first time we were able to get out Field teams involved too, as everything is usually held in person, so it was a great program to hold to be inclusive of all of our staff. Went very smoothly! The flexibility to hold the events over several weeks, and to release them bit by bit was great.

We really enjoyed the day. It went really well, and students had a fabulous day. They are still talking about it. They were challenged and did activities they don’t get to do at school that had them problem solving within a group which allowed them to build stronger relationships with their peers. They had a clear outline for the day which allowed students to participate in all activities. A little extra time allocated to the last activity would help improve the day as many groups found this very challenging. They kept timers running and kept students informed for all the other challenges, which was great for keeping things on track. They were both great. They were encouraging of students, supported the groups that needed some extra support and challenged the teams that didn’t. They spoke clearly and expressed expectations and instructions well. They were able to build up a great rapport with the students and stayed upbeat throughout the day. Thank you for the day. We appreciate all the really fun activities you did with the students.

The program was awesome, well organized and great fun. Fantastic, Jason arrived early and set everything up. He was a great facilitator for our high energy team. The team thoroughly enjoyed the session, it was very motivating and high energy which kept them all completely engaged. Jason was very personable, excellently presented and clear in his instructions. I would definitely use your company again and recommend you to others.

Hi Katie & Darren I would like to thank you very much for the wonderful afternoon my team and I had on Friday. We all enjoyed the Scavenger Hunt thoroughly and had a lot of fun and a pile of laughs. For me, it highlighted some hidden talents throughout my team and certainly brought out the natural leadership skills from some surprising team members and most importantly, brought the team together. Rachel was fantastic with her bubbly, friendly approach, please pass on our thanks to her. I will certainly be recommending Total Team Building to the rest of our organisation for their team building events and I can’t wait for next year’s budget to be approved to start planning our next event. I can’t wait to see the photos.

I have heard from many of my colleagues how much they enjoyed the challenges, and how great the outcome was, especially seeing the kids riding on their new bikes. The challenges provided great opportunities to encourage team building and to get to interact with and develop team relationships in a limited time. It was a well run and structured program that had an added benefit of delivering bikes to children in need. The coordination was well managed, and facilitated 8 different groups at various stages of different activities without hampering the progress of any team. I will keep you in mind and recommend you to our other functional teams in the future.

I would like to Thank you and Darren for organising the day, the team had absolutely a blast and it was real fun!! Lawn Bowls was a nice way of communicating and getting to know each other. We thought it was a good team building exercise that provided interaction with all team members. Instructions were clear and Darren who facilitated the event also gave helpful tips and advices on how to play the game. Everyone was able to interact and participate which allowed for a high level of engagement. Well done, good job. Keep it up.

Thanks for making our Barefoot Bowls event enjoyable to all. The team came together and worked as a unit. Thank you also for the video. The feedback from the team was positive and they had a great time. Would like to thank Darren, he was well prepared and worked in a pace that suited us. He can be recommended any time.

The team thoroughly enjoyed the games and the bike build. Some activities were quite challenging which brought out the competitive streak in a few of us! The event was coordinated very well the team that we had gave us clear instructions and reassured teams that were losing hope. A wonderful day thoroughly enjoyed by all. Looking forward to using you again.

Everyone loved our “healthy” Rat Race (now known as our Adventure Quest). It fitted in well with our wellness & health programs. The co-ordination and facilitation was perfect. We had some awesome feedback: “Loved the yoga session”, “Jason knows his stuff”. Thank you.

Our Charity Bike Build program was probably the best team building we have ever done!
Thanks so much for a fabulous night.. it has gone down very well. Much appreciated, will stay in touch and hope to use you again next year!!

The day went very smoothly and the facilitators of our Go Race (now know as the Amazing Race) were great. Thank you very much to the facilitators for the day! It was a great day that was enjoyed by all staff who participated!

Everyone absolutely loved the Win it in a Minute! Great challenges, fun fun fun! There was nothing else that was talked about on Monday. The program and co-ordination was hassle free and smooth as a baby’s bottom. Thank you to Total Team Building and Chad for making this event one for the books!

Our Win it in a Minute program was fast paced and upbeat. You could feel the energy in the room. There was the right balance of challenge/competitiveness and fun. The PowerPoint was professional and the music was a nice touch to the atmosphere.
There was timely, clear communication during the booking process and the program was well coordinated and professional on the day.

Everyone enjoyed our Scavenger Hunt and got something out of the event. We were very impressed with both the co-ordination and facilitation on the day. We will recommend your company to others, and would definitely use TTB again given the opportunity.

Our Scavenger Hunt (for a Hens Day) was – Absolutely fantastic! It was something a little different from the usual hen day type of activities and was suited to all ages and abilities….so everyone could join in the day. The hunt was very well thought out and as far as I know all the teams found it easy to follow. The activities were fun and not too challenging, which was perfect. Katie is very friendly, approachable and great fun! She gave nothing but 100% customer service to me/us….during our emails before the day and also during the hunt, brilliant! Just a very big thank you for making Jess’ day so memorable. She commented that it was her fave part of the whole day that I had planned for her! A great day was had by all! I will definately be in touch again to book through Total Team Building in the future for similar events.

We did the Scavenger Hunt and everyone who participated absolutely loved it.
The co-ordination and facilitation on the day was great, we didn’t have to think about anything.
It was all looked after very well. I think you are doing a great job.


The Charity Bike Build was fantastic! The challenges the teams did were great & entertaining…but the main event was awesome! When the bikes were built and our franchisees realized these were for little kids who didn’t get a lot, the mood in the room changed. The facilitation was brilliant! Even with 1 weeks’ notice the event was run perfectly! Chad was awesome on the day – arrived early, responded great with our team, took charge & delivered a great lot of challenges! Well done! We were, still are, extremely happy that we chose Total Team Building and the activity that we did. Hats off to Chad, for facilitating so well!

Our staff really enjoyed the survivor games today. It was really good fun and a great team building exercise. We have come away from it knowing each other a bit better.
The event was very well organized and we really appreciate that you could change the booking date at the last minute.
Darren was fantastic, he was very engaging and kept the group interested. The day went very smoothly.
Thank you again for a great day. We cannot wait to do it again.

This was a team with a lot of new people who are based across 2 locations – so the Charity Bike Build was a good way to introduce people to each other. The activities were accessible to all involved and they enjoyed them.
The coordination was seamless. Jason and I spoke a couple of times and all was arranged without a hitch. Jason is an excellent and experienced facilitator – and was able to pitch the activities at the right level. We had a fire drill in the middle and he was able to adapt quickly.

Great opportunity to be able to do something to give back to the community yet still have that team bonding environment.
Great organization by team. The lead up to our event was very straight forward and clear. All details were covered and our expectations well managed.
Both Jason and Deryn were great. They were there early to get everything set up and ready to go by the time the team arrived. They set the tone for an engaging, enthusiastic session.
It was a really nice touch to be able to have a rep from the charity available to come and talk to the team about exactly where the bikes were going and what type of work they do.

Building the Bridge was a total and complete success – Wonderful! We loved the team and received rave reviews. Jason & Deryn’s facilitation was fabulous – keep being awesome. We really appreciate everything you did. It was the perfect exercise for the whole team to do! Well done!

With this particular group, we haven’t held activities that were more ‘fun’ and less work related. It was a great change and everyone had positive feedback about the Charity Bike Build program. We got to see more of the staff’s creative and competitive side come out.
On initial contact everyone was accommodating and flying your facilitator over from Sydney was really appreciated! Louisa you are lovely to deal with, very clear and not pushy!
The day itself was conducted well, once again – it didn’t feel rushed but the entire 2 hours was used well.
Deryn was very approachable and engaging. He was able to hold everyone’s interest and present with a smile!

I received many comments from participants saying how much fun the Robot Wars program was, and how much they enjoyed the activities presented that day. Overall, the whole program was very well received.
Organizing and coordinating the event with Total Team Building was straightforward and easy. Katie is very responsive in responding to emails and any questions that I had.
Darren was very well organized for the event and was engaging and attentive to all participants.
Thank you for providing an entertaining and engaging program. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had fun.

Loved it! The Survivor was definitely a program that catered for ALL. The co-ordination was excellent. The day and activities planned flowed seamlessly and there were sufficient breaks provided considering the hot day. Thank you to Total Team Building team for organising and coordinating such a great event. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed all the activities and will definitely be seeking out your services again.

“It was a special experience for me and a nice surprise to have team building associated with philanthropy. I haven’t experienced that before and it was a great feeling. I also thought he was a great facilitator. ”
“Inspirational and worthy. Really made me feel good to see those kids get the bikes. I’m glad there was a real bike mechanic there…..”
“Excellent activity enforcing company values by having team building associated with philanthropy. Very high on ‘feel good’ factor.”
“Best team building ever for NC conference. Really like this one especially involving with charity bike.”
“What was most enjoyable was the Team Building challenge – it was a surprise at the end to hear of bikes being given away to such a great charity. Meeting up with the kids was also great. A heartwarming experience in the midst of our busy lives! ”
“Really good! Was nice to be able to give the bike to the charity.”
“A great activity. I didn’t realise we would also do other team building challenges. It was interesting to see each persons personalities coming out when the pressure was on… The Charity Bike Build seemed really popular with the team. I’ve heard some very positive feedback, and everyone enjoyed meeting the kids who got the bikes, and it felt like it wasn’t just a “waste of corporate money and time” activity.”
“Again, an excellent idea. Very novel.”

I thought the Scavenger Hunt program was well organized and offered variety of tasks and opportunities for teamwork. My team enjoyed the day and I think we all worked well together. The competitive edge added a level of impetus to the day. I was very impressed with the organization of the event with Katie maintaining contact in the lead up and answering any questions I had. The facilitation on the day was fantastic as Darren is an excellent communicator and showed flexibility on the day. His consideration of the older members of the team was appreciated. I and my team members had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Many team members suggested we should do this every six months and I believe that was due in large part to the way in which the event was organized and facilitated. I have learned a lot about myself and some members of my team through this experience and I thank you for your service.

The team really enjoyed The Vault and the activities. One of the best aspects of the program was that the group had to operate as one team rather than multiple competing against each other. The feedback/debriefing session at the end was also a very nice touch to the whole session. Everything was well organised and completely prepared for. The only hiccup came from our end with the meeting room not supporting the IPad. Darren was very well spoken, encouraging and very responsive to the team dynamic. Just a huge thanks to you and Darren for a wonderful afternoon!

Myself and all of the team participated in the Vault Event which allowed us all to interact and communicate openly with one another regardless of positions in the organization. It also allowed some of the less vocal members of the team to have their say and take part which is something we all gained from. But more than anything it provided us with the means to enjoy ourselves and have a laugh with no inhibitions of it being a work event.
The coordination and organization of the event, location, timing and lunch was all taken care of by Total Team Building as a package thus allowing me only one point of contact which made the day more pleasant and hassle free. Thanks to you both for making the day a great one.

Our Amazing Race was great, well organized and executed Thanks!
The program co-ordination was great. Very helpful and kept in touch throughout the event Darren & Sophie were very helpful and engaging. Would highly recommend to fellow peers
- Team Building Melbourne

Everyone had a really fun and enjoyable experience on our Ransom program. Time went quick and it was very engaging throughout.
Louisa was super duper from when I first contacted her, very thorough and provided all the info and checked in. It was easy to organize and discuss with her on the phone.
Both Louisa and Deryn did a great job on the day. The teams had positive reviews of the activities and how it was ran.
Thank you! Was bit of back and forth on my end so thanks for your patience, really appreciate it.

The day went really well. Team games were well received and catered for a variety of different skills and abilities – there was something for everyone within the Survivor.
The program was coordinated well – the games weren’t too long or too short which helped to keep people engaged and participating. Equipment was in good order and rotations through the stations went smoothly.
The facilitators were great- good sense of humour and very friendly. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day!

Staff enjoyed that there was a physical activity as well as a non-physical activity in the afternoon. The program was great for the staff to mingle with those they haven’t previously.
I thought the coordination was done really well leading up the event with the contact being really streamlined and responsive.
Jason was great! He got involved with everyone and had everyone hyped up to participate. He created a vibe amongst the staff for the day from the get go. He was on time, well organised and enthusiastic.
Thank you again for a well-organised day.

The team absolutely love it, it was a day of fun and heart warming to see the kids’ faces.
It was well coordinated, all communications leading to the day have been seamless and clear. I really like how we have been kept informed all the way/ A true professional team. Also the extra touch (water and sunscreen and chairs) is very highly appreciated (you don’t know how much this has helped our logistics and getting there on the day).
Darren has done a good job with instruction & engaging all participants.
A great day out, thank you for taking the effort to get all the kids in. The most valuable day for participants is the end where they see the kids faces so this part is crucial. Thank you very much!

The teams really enjoyed the activities in the program – there was a great balance of being active, using the brain and being creative.
The co-ordination was great. Plenty of communication prior to the event to ensure the day went smoothly.
I was nervous about the remote facilitation prior to the event, but it turned out to work exceptionally well. The interaction Darren had with teams on the day / during the event was fabulous.
Thank you Katie and Darren for organizing a great team building event. Everyone had a blast!

The whole Adventure Quest program was wonderful and the communication was excellent in terms of getting everything setup and ready to go for the day. The co-ordination was wonderful. I didn’t have to think about a single thing as it was all taken care of for me! Basically the only task I had to do was send through the trivia questions and even that was made very easy for me. The app is great and the fact that I could get the images and videos taken from the app almost immediately was amazing! Dean was awesome and accommodated us so well on the day. His communication and grouping together of the staff in their teams was excellent given that there were 100 people all with hangovers! The whole experience was 10/10 thankyou! The buzz in the room following the activity was exactly the outcome that we were looking to achieve.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Bridging the Gap, it was a good ice-breaker particularly as there was a language/cultural difference.
The program co-ordination couldn’t have been better!
Darren got everyone engaged and they all took part. Even the ‘head man’ who, because of their culture would normally stand back and let everyone else do the work. The temptation was too much and he joined in too – we even got a photo of him with the glue gun!
Service was superb from beginning to end, particularly as it was all done at such short notice and arranged ‘out of business hours’. Would always recommend you as team building facilitators of choice.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the Adventure Quest on the day, but all reports that came back were very positive. Lots of the activities required participants to get well out of their comfort zone which can be scary but really rewarding, now we’ve discovered many hidden talents among our staff that we wouldn’t have before! This was also a great opportunity for us to get staff mingling with people in departments they wouldn’t normally spend much time with, a great bonding experience!
The co-ordination of the program was flawless, communication was great every step of the way and on the day instructions were easy to follow and well communicated.
Just another huge thank you to Louisa and the Total Team gang, you were willing to work with us to fit into our very limited budget which as an NFP is really encouraging and meant that we were able to put on a great day for our staff who work so hard. A superb level of professionalism and communication demonstrated from start to finish, just a great customer service experience!

The whole team loved our Suvivor, it was different, well organised and fun.
The program co-ordination was cxcellent. On time, I didn’t need to worry about anything. Thanks!!
Darren is a great facilitator 10/10. Really good at keeping everyone engaged, keeping everyone moving and keeping it light and fun.
Would definitely use TTB again, a fantastic experience and not a single negative thing to say. Thanks so much to the team!

We had fun during our Vault program and it made us work together with different people that we don’t usually work with closely.
The co-ordination was brilliant!
Darren was awesome, he had us engaged the whole time. It was a fantastic day, we all thought the adventure challenge was awesome that we did a couple of years ago, but the team say that this was better as we weren’t competing against each other, and that we had to work together to get the outcome.
- Team Building Melbourne

They all reported that the Win it in a Minute was fun and in some cases – “Better than I thought it would be”.
The co-ordination was great, no problems. Always there and responded to emails and phone calls promptly. Nothing was too hard. The facilitators did a great job. It was very hot and they kept up their energy and stamina.
Our MD is thinking of doing it again mid-year as he was impressed. It helped unite all staff whether from production, warehouse, service or office. We got to spend time with others we don’t normally associate with from different branches and put “faces to names”.

Our Adventure Quest was great! The challenges were fun and interesting and catered to all ages/capabilities.
It was very well organised and co-ordinated. The app is super easy to use and information providing prior to the event was useful.
Katie was punctual! As soon as we had finished, we received a message and results.
Thank you and we will use Total Team Building in the future.

Participant Feedback – Survivor:
The Program:
- The program was challenging as well as entertaining. The activities were certainly varied enough to challenge on several fronts while still allowing success and even a few laughs for all who participated.
- Venue was good and convenient but gave us the opportunity to “get remote” from the office so we could focus. Activities were simple to understand (some more complex than others to actually do) and provided a great opportunity to bond in our groups.
- Program was interesting and thus well received by participants.
- Well prepared event with a good selection of team participating activities.
- I really enjoyed it – it was a fantastic opportunity for me to know my team members better and see different side of them.
The Co-ordination:
- The co-ordination was well done and seemed quite well planned.

The Ransom program was very well received, the right level of hard and easy and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! The program co-ordination was great. Darren did an amazing job, a total professional who knew how to take command of the room and get everyone up and organized! I think you have this down to a fine art. Thanks again for your facilitation, it really kick started our 2 day forum!

We loved the Win-it-in-a-minute. I was surprised at the level of participation and enthusiasm. It was fantastic. The coordination was great. Easy process. Great service. Adam was great!! Thanks Adam for your big smile and enthusiasm. It was a fantastic afternoon and I was so impressed with everyone’s participation. Even though it was on a Friday afternoon no one even looked at their watches once. Thank you!! I highly recommend your service.

The entire team thoroughly enjoyed the day. It engaged everyone, was fun, provided learning for us and had a great compassionate outcome for the children who received the bicycles. Excellent coordination, very easy. Darren was very professional, personable and engaging. A well balanced facilitator who responds well to the needs of the group and the interaction levels of different people. Keep doing what you do well, it really was one of the best sessions of it’s kind I have attended. Well done and thank you on a wonderful (half) day. Our objectives were met and our expectations exceeded. I’ll definitely be spreading the word within the wider JLL team about this event with Total Team Building.

The team loved the adventure quest. It got them out of the room and cooperating as a team. The co-ordination was great for the event. Nicole was fabulous, everyone listened when she spoke. It was great day. Thank you so much to the team, the event was amazing and I would highly recommend to others.

Our Adventure Quest was lots of fun and well received across the teams, great to see something that worked for different age groups and abilities. The facilitator was very early so appreciate his patience on the day. I was happy with what we booked and it met expectations on the day. Thanks! It’s great to get a link to all the pics at the end so we can enjoy. Equally great that people don’t know about this at the start so they let loose!

Our Ransom program was creative exciting tricky and fun.
Total Team Building were totally professional and very easy to deal with.
The facilitation was excellent. Darren was in character which made it even more enjoyable.
Just a great day, we will use you again for sure. Well done.

Our team thoroughly enjoyed the Survivor program. Interactions, competitiveness, collaboration and team work were all on display. It also presented a great understanding of peoples strengths and weaknesses. Darren was great, engaging and involved, kept the motivation positive. Kept the day interesting, had the right amount of breaks between events. Keep up the great work.

Our South32 team was very pleased with the whole Charity Bike Build program. We had a very cultural and age diverse group, however, everyone was able to participate in all activities which was great. Our entire team left the day feeling a true sense of achievement and purpose. Thank you! Darren did a top job as our facilitator. He was charismatic, relaxed and interactive but kept the activity on schedule.

We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants regarding our Charity Bike Build program. On a scale from 1(bad) to 10 (good) 94% of participants scored the day with 10 (42%), 9 and 8. The team building activity was mentioned by most of the participants in the top 3 things they appreciated about the away day event. The co-ordination and facilitation was in one word: flawless. I appreciated the professionalism and communication of Total Team Building and would highly recommend them to my colleagues. A big “thank you” to Total Team Building team, especially for organizing for the kids to come along. Furthermore, I was very impressed that safety was as important to organisers as it is important to Shell – having the bikes checked and fixed by a professional.

“The Vault” team building activity was well facilitated and fun! Lots of interesting puzzles for the team – got us thinking and more importantly, got us to know one another a bit better as well! It was very well facilitated and coordinated on the day. The facilitator was excellent to balance out the natural tension between ‘managing the session to a schedule’ (timing) and achieving the objectives of ‘team building and having fun’ (quality). The facilitator was able to do both successfully. Thanks for your support and looking forward to working with your organization again in the future. Also great that you have invested in producing a really nice looking and quality trophy at the end… makes a big difference as part of remembering the experience.

For most of our employees our Charity Bike Build was the highlight of their day on Monday! Our management team were surprised by some people’s reaction to it (some introverts stepped in and took over the activity with the kids and not leaving them until they were almost on the bus). This gave us a window into some people that will help build more fulfilling relationships on site. The coordination from Total Team Building was very good, Katie and Darren did a lot of preparation and really listened and understood what we needed to get out of the event. The facilitation were very good as well. It was good that I could take part in the activity without having to worry about what needs to happen next. Thank you for a very well organized and facilitated event! It really hit the mark by giving our employees perspective and a way in which they could contribute to the community. These activities goes a long way in adding purpose to your job and feeling that you can make a difference even in a small way!

Building the Bridge was a total and complete success – Wonderful! We loved the team and received rave reviews. Jason & Deryn’s facilitation was fabulous – keep being awesome. We really appreciate everything you did. It was the perfect exercise for the whole team to do! Well done!

Our Charity Bike Build program was a rewarding experience, they were pleasantly surprised when the kids came to collect their bikes. Everyone had a great time and it definitely brought out the competitive nature of the team, we would definitely recommend this for a future event. The co-ordination was great, didn’t have to worry about anything. Darren was fantastic, he knew his stuff and made it really enjoyable for the team.

All of our participants commented on how much they enjoyed the “remotely managed” adventure quest – ALL OF THEM! It was tailored specifically to their needs and physical/psychological requirements; not too easy, not too hard, enjoyable and informative. The process from start to finish was smooth. From original enquiry handled by Katie through to program design and follow up with Darren and on the day logistics by Nicole – the whole team was friendly and professional in ensuring our quest was a success! Thank you. At the conclusion of the quest, results were sent through promptly. Thank you for providing great, friendly service and a great experience all-round!

We all really enjoyed the Vault program. It was great that we all got to work together on so many activities rather than be split into smaller groups. The linkages of the activities to communication and team work in the office taught us many useful lessons. The coordination of the event was wonderful. It was so smooth and easy for us to organise. Liaising with Katie was great. She was more than happy to answer all of our questions and accommodate us. Darren’s facilitation was very well done. He explained the tasks well beforehand and gave us good direction. We probably could have had a little more engagement and help from Darren when we were struggling but understand that working it out ourselves was the whole idea. Darren’s ‘debrief’ at the end was very good. It was really important to share what we had learnt with each other and also have him share his observations as well. Darren is a great communicator and the tasks were really fun and a great way to break the ice with each other (especially doing the leg tie one first).

Our team really enjoyed the day and all the different challenges leading up to the bike build. I think it was great how all the challenges gave the teams points so it wasn’t just based on the bike build. The event was very well coordinated by total team building, it all ran smoothly with no issues. We thought Darren was fantastic, he explained everything really well and it was easy to understand. He did it all with a smile also. I feel that your company did such a great job. From the moment I started speaking with Katie to try and get the event booked in, to the day of the event. Everything ran smoothly and everyone had fun whilst donating our bikes to a great cause. Well done Total Team Building!! It was really great day, we would definitely use your company again in future.

It was good to have an activity that everyone enjoyed and at the same time required everyone to collaborate together. The co-ordination of our Charity Bike Build was well organised and professionally done, the event went off without a hitch. Both facilitators were very engaging and humorous, plus entertaining. They were also very good with following up pre-event to make sure everything went off smoothly. Given that this was the first we had, we were quite impressed and would share this experience with other faculties/departments.

The team thoroughly enjoyed the indoor Amazing Race activity, thought it was fun and had some good laughs. It is something different to what you would normally have in a team building day. The co-ordination was excellent. Louisa was fantastic to work with. She ensured to get in contact with me with each planning step and was able to answer any of my questions. Jason was also great when he contacted me to confirm he plan of action and offered some suggestions. Overall it was excellent. Deryn was great! I can understand why this activity doesn’t necessarily need a facilitator however having Deryn there added to the experience. He would wonder around the groups laughing along with them. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I cannot thank you and the Total Team Building group enough. We cannot wait to have you back at our next building day.

Initially the team were a little skeptical and insisted they weren’t going to take it very seriously but once the bandanas were on things got much much more serious! The facilitators were very good at holding our attention and instructions were clear. We didn’t feel rushed for time and despite the competitive atmosphere amongst the teams, it was actually a very relaxed day. The coordination with the office gave me piece of mind that everyone was going to be exactly where they needed to be on the day but having mobile numbers just in case was a relief (particularly for our caterer who got lost, – a big thank you to Darren for helping her find the right spot). Thanks again for a great day.

Your team were outstanding! A great level of professionalism, engagement and interaction with the team and within 5 minutes we were amazed at how they all jumped in and were a part of what was going on. Our theme for the day was ‘Team”, Darren and his team demonstrated both by their actions and the events they put on exactly what we wanted, working together, sharing a common goal and striving to achieve is what we can do and in fact did on the day! I will be using you and the team again for other events without question, superbly done, my thanks and ongoing support and recommendations to anyone who asks will be passed on! Really great job guys!

We had so much fun on Friday. I don’t think any of us stopped laughing all day! Just what we needed from a day out of the office. Darren & Nicole were fantastic – great coordination of a rowdy team, and seemed to enjoy themselves too in the process. The day was everything we wanted & more – couldn’t be happier with how it went. You were easy to deal with & pulled it together at quite late notice, with no issues. Thank you! We will be back next time we run a team building activity, for sure!

Everyone was a little unsure what to expect about the day… but by the end of it everyone was commenting that they had a great day and it was one of the best Christmas Party’s we have had. Awesome job by the facilitators, very professional & helpful with all the tasks. We had a great time.

Thanks Jason for a great team building activity. I enjoyed being able to view my VCAL Senior students work in an environment outside of the classroom. I observed skills, strengths and unfortunately weaknesses in my students that I may not have had the opportunity to view otherwise. It has provided me with a greater appreciation of their capacity to work together to complete our classroom and community projects. The students certainly rose to the challenge. You and your team were well organised and effectively managed the running of the program in a school setting.

The Treasure Hunt activity was a lot of fun, it was really inclusive and it highlighted different strengths and abilities of all the team members. Rachel was enthusiastic and professional and did a great job encouraging everyone and providing hints when we got stuck! Thank you for a memorable team building session. The engraved medals are a really nice personal touch and memento for the winning team.
