Our Trademarked “Quintessentially Princeton” Team Building Experience
- This one-of-a-kind experience is designed to be entertaining, interactive and just the right amount of COMPETITIVE! Teams are assigned at the beginning of the event. As the group walks through Princeton campus, learning the fascinating history, the tour guide spontaneously creates mini competitions related to the content. (Don’t worry, you don’t have to be Ivy grad to win the competition! Sometimes it’s a clever multiple choice question and other stops require a myriad of activities requiring photo and video challenges.)
- These events are not canned – they are customized for each company, industry and group participants. Our guides research your company’s history and create customized content along with little known facts about Princeton! (Did you know a Princeton professor invented the Olympics? TRUE! Did you know Princeton has more Nobel Prize Winners than any other 2 square miles on earth? TRUE! ….. we’re competitive like that!)
- These events can begin and end at iconic Princeton restaurants …….. like F Scott Fitzgerald’s speakeasy or the favorite hang out of Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland and JFK or the pub where Einstein carved his initials. You get it ….. these events deserve that trademark!
