He does things we call fun-crawls where he'll hire a bus and take the crew to about 3 fun events. ie, bowling, laser quest, and dodgeball (my personal fav). He also throws in some drinks, prizes and other goodies and usually ends it at a pub or something like that.

Dodgeball is the bomb. Especially if you've got enough people to make 4-5 different teams (i.e. spread across different departments), and you've got "older" people who still like to be competitive... everyone can play, little athletic ability is required, and it's relatively cheap (just rent out a gym and get some dodgeballs).

Only 5 rules: Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge

The one time we did it, teams even made up their own uniforms

Supplies needed:
Hooker(s)
Cocaine
Cheap, low rent motel room

Let everyone mix the ingredients as they wish. When the hooker winds up dead everyone on the team forms a lifelong bond.

My floor at work this year did two.
First we did habitat for humanity which was both fun and for a good cause.
Second we did the Calgary Zoo amazing race which was also neat and a ton of walking.

Where can you go and play dodgeball? Is it like renting a gym and arranging the rules or is there a defined location that offers this?

I like the Volleydome up by the U of C and GoKarting is a blast as a group. Exhaust in your face as you are trying to catch and smash your boss' cart.

Shooters Edge down off Blackfoot in the south was fun too. Cinescape at Eau Claire is always good with the drinks, pool, darts, and DDR (Dance Dance Revolution.) Our company has been planning paint ball for quite a while too but it is hard to get a bunch of people to drive and meet at a location outside of the city.

One event that was really good was dinner at Moxies in Chinook and then an IMAX movie. EVERYONE enjoyed it that came.

It would be nice to have a compiled list of events and locations for these type of things.
