“Once again, we were elated with the resulting camaraderie, team work, self realization and fun had by all during "Operation: 4th & Long". The staff at The Ant & the Grasshopper couldn’t have been easier or nicer to work with; not to mention, they were incredibly flexible, catering our team building activity to our overall event theme. We have worked with several team building companies in the past, and have never received as much positive feedback from our employees as we do when using Ant & Grasshopper. Thanks and see you next year!”

“[Wok-Athon] was such a beautiful disaster – and everyone had a great time. It’s tough to hold these guys’ attention for longer than 20 minutes after such a long day. But you guys did a great job at reeling them in and we certainly consider it a success! Thanks so much for pulling this together with such short notice.”

Everyone is still ranting about it. I’m glad all of you came back to the restaurant. Good company, food, music, laughs, and all around fun. What a fabulous day! Please be sure to thank your team and let them know everyone had a ball and enjoyed them during their role playing and after.

“On behalf of Amgen – Massachusetts I would like to thank Ant & the Grasshopper for making our team-building event a complete success. We had 170 employees participate in the Great American Bike Giveaway. Our team worked hard with the guidance of facilitators Kevin, Jessie, and Craig to put together 31 bikes for the Margaret Fuller House in Cambridge. The Ant & Grasshopper Team made the event fun, easy, and hassle–free. Their flexibility and attention to the detail made this event a complete success and I look forward to working with them in the future. To end a day with 31 happy children and 170 inspired employees was a win-win for all!”

One person said, “I thought it would be fun, but it was even better than I anticipated!” We haven’t laughed that hard together for a long time….and the joking and camaraderie still continues. The first thing the CEO and President said that following day was, “plan to bring them back again!” So we’ll definitely be in touch. Many thanks for lots of fun.”

“We did the Incredible Race down in Colorado Springs for our annual company retreat and it was by far the BEST team building event anyone has ever done. We hired some limos to take each team around town and it was an excellent opportunity to get to know each other. The “challenges” that Ant and Grasshopper came up with were so creative and fun! Each team was given a digital camera to take pictures for the day, which was a great way to capture the memories on film! The event had everyone engaged and laughing! Great job Kevin! You were a pleasure to work with!”

“The Ant and the Grasshopper pulled off a fabulous event for CSN Stores. If you think team building activities are made for small groups, think again. With a group of 250 people I thought I'd never find a company to pull off a great event for that many people, but the Ant and the Grasshopper did it and we would absolutely hire them again”

“I have to tell you what a great time our firm had participating in the "Incredible Race". I must say the digital version was well worth the extra money to see all the other teams. Some of the testimonials included: "That was one heck of a day I spent with you guys on Friday. I had a ball. Those memories will last me the rest of my life. They are many and a lot of them make me feel like I was in high school or college again." A.W., Partner; "I had the best time with you all Friday morning. I am not sure how much fun the other teams had, but for me - it was as fun as any Vegas trip that I have taken! Thank you all!" D. McC., Senior Accountant; "I think the best part of our team was everybody contributed. Thanks for making my first Company event an unbelievable experience. The whole day really cemented the fact that I have come to work with the right company. The fact that we won was just icing on the cake. What a great day!" J. P., Healthcare Consultant; "The Incredible Race enabled a variety of people from different departments and locations to work together on a team in this unique setting. Everyone came together with the same mission and goals to win, using communication and strategic planning without even realizing it.

The musician and actors did a great job. I know it wasn’t the easiest group to control, but you all did an excellent job. The live music was a nice added touch. You guys are the talk of the office today, and I think a lot of the employees still think that “Albert” really was the food and beverage manager at Lake Pearl Luciano’s. It was good to see the employees laugh so hard at themselves and your presentation. Thanks again to you and your team.”

“SupplyCore’s exercise included employees from all around the world ranging from 22 years old to 55 years old; over half of which were new employees.

We left Las Vegas with new relationships, a strong competitive drive, and lots of funny stories.”

There have been comments like "this was the most fun we've ever had at a meeting" , "this team building event really brought the group together which is exactly what we needed" , "I don't think I've ever laughed so much at a work event". They truly had a great time and learned a lot about each other and focused their strategies as true champions and team mates to get to the finish line. I think that was probably evident from the pictures. Thanks again and Darlene and I have already recommended you to many others in our organization.”

“When a team building event was first mentioned, of course, we were met with apprehension. However, after participating in The Scalawags and Hooligans scavenger hunt on the Las Vegas strip, the group of conservative accountants would definitely do it again. They were able to show their wild side and had a great time.”

K.S.

“I have been racking my brain to come up with an appropriate quote for you. It is so hard because there are so many great things to say about our [Wacky Olympics] event. Mark was perfectly suited for the company and everyone’s sense of humor and temperament. The other facilitators were a joy to work with. The games were a combination between riotous fun and actual communication and cooperation between people who otherwise would never have interacted so closely. Honestly speaking, most of the participants were highly skeptical about what they were embarking upon by agreeing to attend. However, everyone walked away having had a great time, a positive attitude and a new look at their coworkers. That could not have been accomplished if your company and coworkers hadn’t outdone themselves so spectacularly, and if the Ant and the Grasshopper hadn’t lived up to everything they promised to provide in their event. The event was so enjoyable; I have been asked what other types of activities you provide. So, you may hear from us again later this year! Thank you again for all of your help and attention. It has been greatly appreciated!”
