Banana Life

Thanks to the folks yd. Australia for allowing us to be a part of their national conference on the Gold Coast. They asked us to incorporate some of the Myers Bigg content that they were focusing on for their conference and we were happy to oblige. Definitely one of the best-looking groups we have worked with, their teams came together with amazing costume planning and a lot of enthusiasm. Thank you yd. Australia. You smashed it.

Peel Back Once a week we look back at an event in our past that stood out for one reason or another and they are suggested by a Banana Life host who has a fond memory of the event. We travelled to Melbourne to work with the Mercer Australia team on more than one occasion to help them produce their "The Quest To Be the Best" They were possibly one of the most adventurous groups we have ever hosted using trams, Ubers, and fancy footwork to traverse Melbourne during their Hustle event. One of the biggest game zones we have ever created and they absolutely nailed the assignment.

From time to time we're going to post some riddles and brainteasers to spice up your work day for your team. 😀 1. Share with your teammates 2. Start the timer 3. First to solve it correctly - wins! Put "Got it" in the comments if you solved it. #brainteasers #teambonding #puzzle #mindgames #bananalife

Meet Your Host - Matthew French An experienced actor and musician who thrives in the spotlight, Matthew brings an artistic flair and a sharp sense of humour to everything he touches, including his hosting and event production duties here at Banana Life. We asked Matthew some questions about his experience here at Banana Life below. What is your favourite Banana Life Product? My fave BL product is definitely the Virtual Murder Mystery! I love playing a fun character for people and watching them get involved in the mystery! Seeing them get excited and come our of their shells is heartwarming. What is your favourite mission in The Hustle? My favourite missions in The Hustle are with our planted actors! The fun of players looking for kooky characters and playing along with them is a treat, especially as an actor myself! Finding ways to gamify everything from explaining the mission to giving points makes for colourful interactions. What is the best thing about working at Banana Life? My fave thing about BL is all my beautiful colleagues. Lovely bunch, so friendly, kind, and playful! We know how to take being silly and fun VERY seriously! Anything else? I’d like to add that it puts a pep in my step when I see players having fun, even before we start! Matching outfits and even wild costumes for teams always make me smile! #bananas #bananalife #teambuilding #worklifebalance #teamwork #fun #teambuildingaustralia #teambuildingbrisbane #workplaceculture #officeculture #teamwork #creativity #ilovemyjob

Peel Back Once a week we look back at an event in our past that stood out for one reason or another and they are suggested by a Banana Life host who has a fond memory of the event. Today we look Air Liquide who did a 2 day event at Tangalooma way back in February of 2024. On day 1 they participated in "The Hustle" and Day 2 was the "Game Show". A good mix of both outdoor fun and indoor activities. This group was tasked with creating a mission for The Hustle that asked players to impersonate the boss. This had the whole room ROLLING in laughter, including our hosts, with the boss practically falling off of his chair. We salute this HILARIOUS and creative group and look forward to seeing them again. Jaya Fisher-Smith Johanna Lyon

Let's talk about the yd. Australia conference! What a privilege to be part of this itinerary, so well planned, well-rounded and with the right balance of personal development and team bonding. We loved customising 'The Hustle' (our version of the Amazing Race ... sans-running!) with all things yd. so the attendees truly felt special, and more connected to the brand story. We even weaved in elements of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Personalising our team-building games is at the heart of what we do at Banana Life and nothing makes us more proud than feedback like this. We're not here to steal the spotlight, we're here to make you shine! 🌟 #bananalife #teambuilding #teamyd.

Thanks to the folks at Taipan Hydraulic Hose Systems for the kind words about their Survivor event at Victoria Park last week. We had as much fun as you! Last year we facilitated 'The Hustle' and they had a blast, so they came back and asked for a recommendation on what they could do differently this time around. We have a variety of event types here at Banana Life and we spend time with our clients to find the best fit. Positive feedback just makes our day! #bananas #bananalife #teambuilding #worklifebalance #teamwork #fun #teambuildingaustralia #teambuildingbrisbane #workplaceculture #officeculture #teamwork #creativity #competition Johanna Lyon

What should we bring? We often get asked what kind of equipment people need to bring for their Banana Life event. We take care of everything so you don't have to worry. Of course, for our outdoor games, we recommend comfortable clothing, some comfortable shoes, plenty of water, and sunscreen. Oh and a positive attitude. After that leave it to us! The photo for this post is from a recent 35-person Hustle at Burleigh Heads, Qld. Besides our planted actors, everything you see is all it takes to run an event of that size. We like to be light on our feet so we can do these events anywhere and anytime. Besides what was listed above, what would you bring to make yourself more competitive or comfortable? #bananas #bananalife #teambuilding #worklifebalance #teamwork #fun #teambuildingaustralia #teambuildingbrisbane #workplaceculture #officeculture #teamwork #creativity #competition

Getting to know you. One of our favourite things about team-building is helping groups learn new things about each other. Our FUN FACT MATCH game in our VIRTUAL GAME SHOW accomplishes this goal by asking each player to answer a question and then players on the other team try to figure out who wrote it. The answers are often enlightening and hilarious. #taylorswift Here is just one example of the type of question you might get asked. "Aside from necessities (and your phone and coffee), what is one thing you could not go a day without?" Learn more about our VIRTUAL GAME SHOW https://vist.ly/3h4g3
