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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lake District. Jenny & Rhys are extremely easy to work with and made both our Wednesday evening boat cruise and Thursday team building events, evening meal and band fun and enjoyable for all who attended. We would definitely use them again.Thank you Maximillion.

Resolis

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

Our guests were delighted with the day of Highland Games, the team of maximilion was fantastic. I will recommend them 100%.

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

Very well organised in the lead up and on the day of the event. Clear communication throughout! The team delivered a fantastic Highland Games event on the day that everyone enjoyed. Thanks to Mike, Rhys and the team!

TotalEnergies

Just to say the event went brilliantly on Saturday. Had some really good feedback from people and everyone had a great time! Thanks so much for all your help!

Quorum

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.

University of Edinburgh

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

Maximillion ran the Urban Adventure for our teams with the activity run in Edinburgh city centre and the feedback has been nothing but positive. The activity brought teams together from different offices and different business areas and was a great way for everyone to get to know each other in a fun and informal activity.

Nucleus Financial

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

We thought the event was organised and ran extremely well. All of our staff had a fantastic time, great fun! Would recommend Maximillion.
