EVENT OVERVIEW

Master the skills to hunt, fight and survive!

In a scenario inspired by the blockbuster film franchise, your teams rotate through three “survival school zones”, mastering a new survival skill at each, while competing to become the team’s “tributes”. Skills include lighting fires with bow drills, hunting with bows and by throwing spears and axes, and building stretchers.

How Hunger Gains works

What are the rules of The Hunger Gains?

Your group breaks into teams, before rotating around the “survival school zones”. They then come together to test their newfound skills in head-to-head competition. Fire-walking is an optional extra!

Who is The Hunger Gains for?

This outdoor team building event is for groups that want to step outside their comfort zone in a rewarding outdoor environment. It can form part of a company away-day or incentive programme.

How long does The Hunger Gains last?

The Hunger Gains typically takes three to four hours, depending on your schedule.

Just a note to say thanks for all your help with the Yamaha event last week. It went very well, and the client was very happy. I know she was a bit worried just because of experiences at other venues around the world where things have not gone according to plan. So for us to arrive and see it all set and ready to roll, put her mind at rest.

Spectra

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

We had an absolutely fantastic time at our Teambuilding afternoon hosted by Maximillion Events at our Ayrshire premises. This is now the 3rd time we have used their services and will definitely be looking to use them again next year. Such a lovely and professional group of people to deal with!! We had various games with a bespoke package set up for a group of staff members with varying degree of mobility. We did carpet curling (indoors), giant jenga, connect 4, darts, air hockey to name but a few all being done outside near to our foodhall and “refreshments” area. It was perfect, everyone had a blast and the Maximillion team were a joy to work with. Thorough, professional, safety conscious and lots of fun. They looked to enjoy themselves watching us and our very competitive natures shine through. Thank you again to all at Maximillion – you made our day that extra special.

Horizons – TPG Scotland

Everyone I met was so helpful, reassuring and knowledgeable. The event was run seamlessly and the team made everyone relaxed which encouraged everyone to participate fully. Team building can so often be an uncomfortable day away from the office, but Maximillion just made it so much fun. I had heard good things about you all through the previous work you have done for us but it was great to see that first hand. It was such a pleasure to work with you and we are all already looking forward to the next one!

The Phoenix Group

Thanks so much for all your help! The client was very happy. The planning stages were smooth and Rhys and the onsite team were wonderful too. We would recommend! Thank you

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. This is the second time using Maximillion and on both occasions they have made the event! So much fun and so engaging. The feedback from all who attended was this was a brilliant session. Huge thanks to all involved.

Abertay Housing Association

Thank you to Mike, Ross and Sandy from Maximillion for the team building in the afternoon, murder mystery that evening, Belbin Team Roles next morning, a fantastic team building session in the afternoon and, finally, a great barbecue that evening provided by Norton House. Although some of us were a bit slow of the mark the second day, the same positive attitude and enthusiasm from day one prevailed and I think we all got something out of it. It was clear to me that everyone was communicating and working together better by the end of the afternoon.

Abbot Risk Consulting

John Abbot, MD

Massive thank you to Rhys & Mike for creating a professional and overall enjoyable experience for our team. Throughout the entire process they worked hard to ensure our values and needs were met on the day. The delivery of the events was incredibly well received and I can safely say I would be glad to book with Maximillion again.
