CLIENT STORIES

Corporate Team Experiences, Told by Our Clients

Trusted by teams across industries. Here is what organizers say about working with FullTilt.

“On behalf of the Management team, I would like to officially Thank You for leading our teams today through “End Hunger Games”! The feedback from our community was overwhelmingly positive and a great way to end our day. The donation to the Food Bank resonated with us all and was the best part of the exercise.”

Microsoft

End Hunger Games

“I am so happy that we worked with you for Capco’s event in Puerto Rico. I really can’t say enough good things about Kerry and his team. They were all incredibly helpful, fun, professional, and just plain great at their jobs. Such amazing attitudes, professionalism, and willingness to adapt. The feedback from participants has been overwhelming, everyone had such a great time.”

Capco

Beach Olympic Games

“I liked that different people can come together quickly when genuine effort is applied. We learned how to work together effectively. Teams can work well together when everyone is given space and opportunity to do what they do best. Teamwork can be achieved in a hectic setting.”

Teranet

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“Kerry, it was a pleasure meeting you. How you incorporated our characteristics and traits were perfect. I loved the elements to the boat building as well from negotiating, consulting, showcasing the product-all of it-YOU were the perfect fit for this dynamic team. What was created yesterday was epic and it will last with them for a lifetime. Thank you and thank you photos. I am sure we will be in touch.”

FCCS Consulting

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“The event was a huge success! Tom was amazing to work with! It created the common thread we wanted to pull through the entire meeting and beyond. Many mentioned how in the beginning they were skeptical and it seemed like an impossible task yet somehow over a short two hour period we were able to build a functional mechanism within our group AND connect the motions with two partner groups to achieve an extraordinary outcome.”

AstraZeneca

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“Kerry, the event was a HUGE success. People raved about how fun it was. This morning over breakfast, one participant told me they had participated in a lot of team-building activities, and this was by far the best 😊
‍
Thank you so much - we will definitely reach out in the future!”

Elekta

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“We had a great experience with Fulltilt and still have people from the field who enjoyed it so much. They've reached out to get contact information for their own partner's event to help with recommendations. The event itself was easy because the team set everything up, it created an incredible experience for those involved. I've never hosted an event where EVERYONE participated in a way like they did with the raceway.

As someone who has planned multiple in-person events / activities, I truly feel this was an actual unique activity that none of our field members had done before. They were excited, engaged, and had fun with it. If we have another in-person event, we will absolutely leverage Fulltilt (maybe even the same activity) again.

Can't recommend enough! If there are any other questions I might be able to provide, happy to!”

Kat Gerlich

Cross Boundary Comms Training

“It really was quite spectacular! It went better than I could have expected. Everyone was engaged and enthusiastic and Kerri did a great job running it all! Our Angela was amazing too and kept everything running smoothly!
‍
I will definitely share the feedback survey and pics with our team. Thank you for your help setting this all up and please let Kerri know we thought he did an amazing job!

I think the good word will spread and you will be getting some requests for info on your events.”

Spero Therapeutics

“The event was absolutely incredible. We received an outpour of feedback from the field sharing their gratitude for the event and many shared that this was the best event they've ever done. It allowed for incredible creativity, and the team really came together.”

BetterUp

Vice President, Head of Clinical Operations

“You and your team are rockstars! Everyone had an amazing time, lots of laughs and you nailed the theme of our building event. We simply couldn't have asked for anything more. We appreciate your enthusiasm and energy, it was contagious!

We really appreciate you taking pictures and videos for us!!”

Tokio Marine

“The event was really good. Tom is a self proclaimed Airbus fan, so that helped get us on side immediately!

The whole event was managed very well, the team learned a little more about each other as well as about themselves. Easy to follow activities creating a sense of understanding that while the activities were a game for us, to others it is their reality day in and day out.
‍
Tom and August did a lovely job and we go to meet the non-profit from where the chairs will be distributed.”

"The event was a success! Initially, my group was nervous about what this "culture activity" would entail, but the activity exceeded our expectations. I'm grateful for your help and look forward to future opportunities.

Again, thank you so much; it was an absolute pleasure working with you all!"

Capital Impact Partners

Cross Boundary Comms Training

"We built cardboard boats and sailed them in the hotel pool during our first offsite as a team since PepsiCo Labs doubled its size. Our time in Miami was revealing and energizing, reinforcing our tight-knit culture as we bring innovative tech solutions to solve PepsiCo's challenges.." 😊

#team #culture #fun

PepsiCo

"The Team Building went great and Kerry did a terrific job of integrating salient points with our morning Keynote. We did have some participants that wished we had spent more time on the Domino Effect and a little less on the paper challenge, but I think a lot of take aways came from both activities and the overall group wanted to keep trying. We are gathering feedback with a survey and will share more with you next week.

Thank you!"

“I believe it has been one of the best training we have ever had. The activities were well planned, it kept the staff well engaged and generated a lot of reflection. We were able to get some tools and skills that can be implemented in our personal lives and professional careers.
I think, time was the only thing that we were short of but I know we were trying to cover a lot of topics within the limited time that we had."

“5 stars! Scott & Mike were so wonderful to work with. They both answered every single question we had and jumped on numerous calls leading up to our event. They made the entire process seamless and handled everything professionally. Our leadership team really enjoyed all of the challenges and the bike build. Mike was energetic and we had a blast! It was a great way to get to know each other better and have some fun outside of our meetings. Thank you so much Scott, Mike, & FullTilt team!”

New York City SEASON GUIDE

The New York City Team Event Calendar, Decoded

New York City weather is beautiful but demanding. Use our official corporate calendar to pick the perfect event format for your target month.

PRIME OUTDOOR

May–June
Milder late-spring conditions and longer daylight suit outdoor activities, with a rain alternative and manageable routes for the group.

FALL OUTDOOR WINDOW

September–October
Early fall offers another useful outdoor window, with cooler conditions for walking formats and flexible plans for rain.

INDOOR FIRST

November–April
Cold weather and shorter winter days favor offices, hotels and meeting venues, with optional outdoor time when conditions allow.
1

Prime Outdoor Windows

Target May–June or September–October for outdoor programs near the Hudson River. Choose an approved route or reserved venue, check accessibility and agree on an indoor alternative before confirming the agenda.
2

Winter Venue Strategy

For November through April, start with a Manhattan office or private meeting venue as your main base. Confirm equipment access and add outdoor time only when the forecast and daylight support it.
3

Summer Heat Plan

July and August can be hot and humid, including along the Chelsea waterfront. Use shorter routes, water breaks and earlier starts where appropriate, with an air-conditioned alternative for uncomfortable conditions.
4

Building And Travel

For Lower Manhattan or Midtown venues, confirm the service entrance, freight-elevator booking and security requirements. Give attendees a precise arrival point and avoid unnecessary cross-city transfers during a short conference agenda.
Charity Team Building

Charity Team Building in New York City That Gives Back

Connect your New York City gathering with practical community needs through Bike Build, Hygiene Kit Assembly or a School Supply Drive. Colleagues work toward a shared contribution while the planning team confirms the recipient nonprofit’s priorities, accepted items and delivery arrangements across the city.

New York City QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Planning FAQs

Can you run an event at our New York City office?

Yes. FullTilt can bring an activity to your office when the room and building rules support it. For New York City offices, share freight-elevator access, security requirements and the usable floor plan early. We can recommend a format that fits the space without adding another location to your team’s workday.

We have 200+ people at a New York City conference. Can you handle that?

Yes. FullTilt offers large-group formats, including programs for 200 or more people. For a New York City conference, we need the room layout, agenda and access details to recommend a workable plan. Smaller activity teams and clear arrival instructions help keep a large session organized within a tight meeting schedule.

What are the best outdoor spots for team building in New York City?

Hudson River Park is a waterfront option to investigate for permitted team activities, while Brooklyn Botanic Garden offers private event spaces with garden surroundings. May–June and September–October are useful outdoor planning windows. Confirm the exact permitted area, outside facilitator access and weather alternative before selecting the activity.

How far in advance should we book a New York City team event?

Two to four weeks is a useful planning baseline for many New York City events. Allow four to six weeks or more for large groups, peak dates or venues requiring permits. Freight-elevator access, loading appointments and building approvals can also shape the schedule, so confirm those arrangements early.

What types of team building activities work best in New York City?

Domino Effect, Elevated Raceway and Bike Build are useful indoor options for an office or conference agenda. Wild Goose Chase (Scavenger Hunt) can suit a carefully planned local route. Choose a format around your goals, room footprint and available time; avoid an outing that spends most of the session moving between neighborhoods.

Can FullTilt bring a team building event to our hotel or conference venue in New York City?

Yes, subject to the hotel approving the activity and outside vendor arrangements. Share the meeting room, headcount and event schedule. In New York City, confirming the service entrance, loading slot and freight access early helps the team plan setup around the hotel’s other meetings and daily operations.

What team building activities work well for large corporate groups in New York City?

Choose a format that lets several smaller groups work at once, such as Domino Effect or Bike Build, in a suitably configured room. Keep the final briefing and debrief accessible to everyone. For a multi-borough team, include a realistic check-in window before the activity begins.

Do you offer indoor team building activities in New York City?

Yes. Indoor activities can be delivered in offices, hotel ballrooms and private meeting venues. Domino Effect, Elevated Raceway and Bike Build are options to discuss. An indoor base is useful year-round in New York City, especially for winter programs, summer heat or a conference schedule that leaves little weather flexibility.

Do you offer outdoor team building activities in New York City?

Yes. Wild Goose Chase (Scavenger Hunt) can suit an approved New York City route, including a suitable Hudson River Park area where organized activity is permitted. May–June and September–October are useful starting windows. Confirm route access, permits, pedestrian flow and a weather alternative before the event.

Can you customize a New York City team building event for our company goals?

Yes. Share the outcome you want, such as stronger cross-functional communication or helping new colleagues connect. For a New York City team spread across offices or boroughs, we can suggest ways to mix working groups intentionally and relate the activity back to the conversations you want to continue at work.

What is the best time of year for team building in New York City?

May–June and September–October are useful starting windows for outdoor team building around the Hudson River waterfront or another approved New York City setting. Summer sessions need a heat plan, while winter generally favors indoor venues. Keep a rain alternative throughout the year and choose around the actual venue forecast.

Do you offer team building for corporate retreats and conferences in New York City?

Yes. FullTilt can recommend an activity around your venue, headcount and available session window. Staying in the same building or neighborhood can make a short program easier to manage. Include arrival instructions, setup access and the next agenda item when deciding how much time to allocate.
