Situation: You want to do some teambuilding, but have no clue what to do...

I hate traditional team building stuff.  Show me a ropes course in use and  I'll show you a dozen people who wish they were somewhere else.  So if you're looking for something different - take your project team to the next Big Game!  

Here's how Area Code, the company that runs them,  describe a "Big Game".  

Big Games are large-scale, real-world games. A Big Game might involve transforming an entire city into the world's largest board game, or hundreds of players scouring the streets looking for invisible treasure, or a TV show reaching out to interact with real-time audiences nationwide.
