I can't beat any of those answers, especially the group sex one which could either build your team or destroy it, especially when you get an unexpected intrusion from Roy the sales man responsible for southern alberta.

Paintball is ok but dosen't work great because it dosen't really build team, especially when you have an office jerk who likes to execute his victims with a shot in the head.

I went on a team building seminar a few years ago, and we played an all day game that was basically like a whole bunch of work areas that forced you to play as a team. Almost like the team events in survivor.

A team was tied together and had to go through a fairly simple obstacle course.

The next area was a huge puzzle with the pieces spread all over an area.

At the end of the day there was a BBQ with steaks. Of course the losing team didn't get steaks they got hotdogs that they had to eat raw, with no mustard.

Just as an add on, when I was with Drake doing HR consulting, we used a team assesment software package called piccasso which analyzed the composition of your teams (ie sales, accounting) and showed you where the holes were in personality types that could cause fracture points.

It was pretty cool.
