There’s a fun new team-building event coming to the Border City.
Taking place on Oct. 25, Adventure Quest is an ‘Amazing Race’ style event that offers exciting team-building activities while promoting local businesses.
“It’s almost like a golf tournament without the golf. We were looking for something that would be a great team-building activity for organizations who maybe aren’t into golfing. There’s lots of golf tournaments, which are so much fun and we love them too, but we’re trying to do something a little different,” said Tess Wack, executive director of Startup Lloydminster.
She said the goal of the event, presented in partnership with Community Futures Lloydminster, is to target some new people and really focus on local businesses.
“Another key piece of this is to celebrate those (businesses), so to bring people together to have a lot of fun, and then promote and celebrate and take people to some hidden gems they maybe haven’t seen before.”
The goal of the event is for the teams to stop by various local businesses throughout the afternoon and complete tasks.
“There will be a map people can go through, and they’ll be given challenges at these stops. Each of the stops will be a local business that people can do a challenge at, and it could be anything from like taking a selfie to an actual challenge they have to complete,” said Wack.
“So that’s what will be going on throughout the afternoon and then it wraps up at Feastival, which is a local food event put on by the Lloydminster Exhibition,” said Wack, adding admission to Feastival is included in the Adventure Quest registration fee.
“We thought that would be another great way to just keep that local theme going, and people will have a great meal, because you have to have good food!”
Details for Adventure Quest can be found at startuplloyd.com/adventure-quest.
“They can find all the details there as well as a link to buy tickets, you can register through Eventbrite. There’s also a link there for businesses that would like to be a challenge stop,” said Wack, adding they’re still looking for a couple of business participants.
“It’s coming up quickly and we’re really excited about it. We just think it will be a fun, different event that gets people out of the office.”
