Amazing Race
Venture Up’s Amazing Race is a fast-paced, city-based team building adventure where teams solve clues, complete challenges, and navigate local landmarks.

Technicolor Transport
Technicolor Transport is a high-energy engineering challenge that pushes teams to design and build a working fluid-routing machine. Using colored fluids, pumps, tubing, valves and connectors, each group must create a system capable of directing any of four colors to twelve target points—then operate it using valves only, with no post-build adjustments. This 2- to 4-hour event blends creativity, problem-solving, coaching and precise communication, and can align with models like Lean Principles.
Project 15 THE MAZE
Venture Up’s Project 15 THE MAZE is designed for intact teams, virtual teams, or large corporate events in a general session. It’s a Strategic Game, based in sharing information and training around best practices, mitigating problems, achieving a unified goal across multiple areas.
TEAM BUILDING EVENTS CALIFORNIA
California and creative team building events go hand in hand. California is a land of diversity with an accepting culture that welcomes the alternative and unfamiliar … and the weird. That’s what makes Venture Up a good fit. Some clients tell us they want their staff to “think outside of the box.” In Calilfornia, we tell them, there is no box.
Venture Up owes thanks to California for keeping us creative. Our California clients are among the 250,000-plus who paved our path. In 1983 we went from being America’s first team building company, to the nation’s largest team building provider, with programs in the U.S. and abroad.
Diversity
Venture Up has a long track record working with diverse groups. Our founders have traveled to more than 50 countries, shaping Venture Up to serve people of varied backgrounds who work in teams. We owe much of our success to diverse clients in main cities and suburbs of Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Palms Springs. You helped make Venture Up America’s top team building provider and a leader in diversity training.
Customer Service
Venture Up staff return calls immediately and deliver proposals within a few hours We work on short notice, or may plan months ahead. You can expect us to manage the details and stay in touch, so you can kick back and tend to other matters of your team building event. Our aim is to exceed your expectations, and history shows we can.
Clients
About 80 percent of our team building business involves corporate clients, who prove that word of mouth is the greatest advertising. We also work with many government and non-profit groups; school districts, charities, and federal agencies, such as the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, and U.S. Special Forces.
Many of our team building clients are also winners of the J. D. Power & Associates Award — and J. D. Power & Associates itself is on our client list. As our client list shows, we work with countless “list” firms, representing a world of diversity — people of all shapes, sizes, physical abilities and cultural backgrounds. Team Building groups range in sizes range from 8 to 1,000 or more. US Duns # 148821721
Innovation
Repeat clients make up a large part of our business. Hence, we are always developing programs to provide something different and something new. We are naturally driven towards innovation to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients. In these changing times, quality team building activities are not a luxury but essential in moving teams forward and strengthening the corporate culture.
