Our new Hustle team building event gives participants experience of card counting and a variety of other tricks that can be used in a casino. Our expert shares tricks and techniques with the group before taking them into a room where there are roulette and black jack tables in a fun casino replica run by trained croupiers.

Card counting is much easier than you might think. Films such as Rain Man starring Dustin Hoffman have lead people to believe that you have to be able to memorise several packs of cards. In fact you don’t, and there are several techniques which are easy to master and fun to use. Real casinos have the odds in their favour less than one precent. These techniques only shift that a few percent, but vitally it’s in your favour.

Card counting is not allowed in casinos and they can throw you out and ban you if they catch you. If you’re suspected the croupiers have a few tricks up their sleeve that can be used to ruin your count and these will be covered on the event.

This new team building activity is fun and interesting. It’s not supposed to be taken too seriously but the techniques discussed are fascinating and very useful to understand. Understanding odds, in particular, is a very useful business and life skill.

Murder Mystery Team

Murder Mysteries are a fun team building activity which usually take place over dinner.They are ideal as social team bonding and can be very relaxed or more structured where each table forms a team which tries to solve the murder.

The event suits a mixed group as some people will want to get involved, often to the degree that they become suspects themselves. For others it’s enjoyable to sit back and watch the script unfold.

This event fits into the fun end of the team building spectrum and it would not be realistic to expect specific business linked outcomes, but as a way of getting people to relax and get to know each other outside work it is very effective.

Team building instructor

The ideal candidate is an enthusiastic, outgoing people person who likes being in front of groups. Smart appearance and an energetic approach to life is essential and we give full training on the activities you will be expected to run.
The work means a lot of travelling, so you must be prepared to stay away from home but the other side of that coin is that you get to see different places and meet a variety of people.
If you’re interested visit The Team Building Company‘s website and make contact with the office from there.
Many of our instructors are colleage leavers or people in between jobs and a stint with a leading team building company always looks good on a CV.
