The Corporate Team Builder


Hiring top performers is tough. Keeping them can be even tougher.

Given the smaller budgets and shortage of qualified, loyal employees in today’s business environment, team building is critical for the health of every company, small or large.

Adventure games offer one of the most effective team building solutions in the workplace today. And, Athlon’s Corporate Team Builder delivers this solution through the power, reach and convenience of the Internet.

The Corporate Team Builder is exciting. It's real. It's creative. It makes managers look cool. Most importantly, it helps boost morale, employee relations and thus productivity. At only $20 per participant with a money back guarantee, The Corporate Team Builder is also affordable for any company.

How the Game Works

Imagine for the next three weeks your coworkers are suddenly teams of secret agents engaged in cloak & dagger but still maintaining their normal business roles. We guide your employees through an adventure filled with twists and turns as they compete for survival and international glory. Here's how it works:

Employees are grouped into teams representing 4 different nations and missions are sent to them via email. Most missions take only minutes a day to perform, as the game runs in the background of your workday, never requiring an interruption to normal business activities.
Players carry-out assignments in real-life as they interact with one another and report back their actions online. We analyze the data, select new missions, and send out new instructions accordingly.
Throughout the 3 weeks, players find themselves discovering hidden clues, playing good humored pranks, raising money for charity, and maneuvering for support from both management and coworkers.
Players will find that clues and missions can come from anywhere and anyone throughout the day. The package delivery man might slip you a message from headquarters. The waitress at your favorite café might have imporant information to exchange. Every moment of the workday is suddenly new and exciting.
Key Benefits for Any Company

Fosters work relationships
Stresses creativity and thinking outside-of-the-box
Boosts morale
Improves employee retention
Increases productivity through better communication and synergy
The Big Difference From Other Team Building Options

Unlike traditional team-building exercises, the Corporate Team Builder is perfect for even small to medium sized companies because it is:

Affordable - only costs $20/employee vs. the $100 to $5,000 price tag of other options.
Practical - doesn’t require a special off-site event; assignments are delivered by email, as employees continue to work.
Exciting - the games are challenging and fun, and can complement other necessary but boring team-building exercises.

Attention Youth Groups:


Strap in for the rides of your lives!

Athlon I.A. uses the latest and most interesting technologies and strategies to take you on the ride of your life. We take you out of your comfort zone, and drop you right into the middle of an international crisis that only you and your friends can prevent.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to apply your gaming knowledge toward real-world scenarios? Now is your chance! We’ve revolutionized the gaming experience by transforming traditional games into action-packed reality missions that take place in your city.

As an uncover spy in our adventure games, you’ll attempt to overcome the evil actions of your enemies by using an effective combination of imagination and skill. But, what makes this experience different is that you’re not alone in your quest to eliminate the opposition. Friends can join in the action too. In addition, all winning teams are eligible for a cash prize.

What are Athlon I.A. Youth Games?

Over the course of several weeks, our reality-based games use emailed newsletters and missions to transform the daily routines of the youths into the actions of an undercover spy. It’s not a video game; it’s real life. We’ve replaced the control pad and game board with your actions and your city.

Danger and opportunity can present itself at any time or place, even in a location as common as your local grocery store. Get ready to sharpen your senses and expect the unexpected; our games will take you on the interactive adventure of your life. Through it all, youth will find themselves interacting with each other and breaking communication barriers so common among youth groups. We don’t call it an icebreaker, we call it a lifetime friend maker.

How do the games work?

Teams of 4 to 10 players compete against each other to complete a sequence of challenges in the most creative and daring fashion. Players are encouraged to use their imaginations and all collective resources available. During and after each mission, players report their success and other key information to Athlon headquarters. We then analyze the information, determine which teams are worthy of continuing, and select new missions accordingly. Even though we supply the structure of the game, you’re in complete control of the action.

How can I get started?

Simply call an Athlon sales associate to sign you and your friends up for one of our youth games, or email us at [email protected]. Each game is only $20 per player - a bargain when compared to an afternoon of paintball or a movie outing, especially when you consider that our games last up to three weeks.


Adventure Game Description


"This might be the craziest thing I've ever done. But it was ridiculously fun, there's no denying that."

- Chris D., Las Vegas, NV

Interactive adventure contests have been organized across the country for years, and this is your chance to play for only $20. If deciphering planted clues, hitting your friends with pies, testing your endurance, and playing pranks is your idea of a good time, then you’ve come to the right place. If not, perhaps we can suggest a nice quilting group in your area that may be more to your liking.

What are Interactive Adventure Games?

Over the course of several weeks, our reality-based games use emailed missions to transform the lives of you and your friends into the actions of out of control undercover spies. It’s not a video game; it’s real life. Think of it like that movie "The Game," but without getting drugged and left in Mexico. Only teams who use creativity, desire, humor, and all available resources will survive!

Danger and opportunity can present itself at any time or place, even in a location as common as your local grocery store. You’ll never know where the next clue or threat may present itself. Get ready to sharpen your senses and expect the unexpected; our games will have you fighting tooth and nail for victory while splitting your sides with laughter.

Sounds interesting, how do they work?

Hmm, I’m glad you asked -- Teams of 4 to 10 players compete against each other to complete undercover missions in the most creative and daring fashion while attempting to thwart the efforts of the other teams. You and your team will receive daily emails directing you towards your next objective, such as playing a prank or conducting surveilence. During and after each mission, players report their success and other key information to Athlon headquarters. We then analyze the information, determine which teams are worthy of continuing, and select new missions accordingly. The games last for almost three weeks, but we know that everyone has busy lives, so most missions take only minutes and run in the background of your daily life, not interfere with it.

How Much Does It Cost?

Games are only $20 per participant and we offer a full money back guarantee, though we've never had anyone request their money back yet! Setup for the game is free. You are only charged once everyone is signed up and the game is started.

What’s the incentive for victory?

What? Do you really need more incentive than defeating and humiliating your friends? Isn’t the inner satisfaction of a job well done good enough for you people? What’s that, you say that’s all fine and good but you want cold hard cash too? Ok. Ok...

Following the completion of every 1,000 Adventure Games played across the nation; we will hold a drawing for a grand prize of $10,000! In order to be automatically entered for the drawing, your team must win one Adventure Game. It’s that simple. With new teams participating every week, your chances at the grand prize increase by the day. Official Rules

Ok, you’ve grabbed my attention. Can you list some more reasons I should sign up to play?

1. It’s only $20 per player, so you can play for the same price as a cup of coffee from Starbucks.

2. Unlike the U.S. Congress, we offer a full money back guarantee.

3. You could win $10,000, and like my father told me on my wedding day, “Son, $10,000 is the key to all happiness.”

4. Hitting your friends with pies = fun.

5. Getting started is easy: Just click on Set Up A New Game to the left and fill it out.

6. The games last about 3 weeks. Just thought you should know.

7. Have you ever been poked in the eye with a carrot? Well we have, and it hurts. That’s why our games are now 100% carrot poking free.

8. Do it for the children.

9. Cokes and orange wedges for everyone after the game!

10. Those disguises you’ve been keeping under the mattress will finally come in handy — NOW who’s crazy?

11. Your paranoia will turn out to be useful and correct for once.

12. A person can only watch so many Seinfeld reruns before it’s time to do something else.

What are the requirements?

1. There is no age limitation, but if you are under the age of 18, you will need legal guardian permission.

2. You'll need to convince some of your friends to play with you. Games can be played with as few as 4 people. However, the more people you have, the more fun it is. In fact, it's usually best if not everyone knows each other. But the first step is for you to click Set Up A New Game to the left. This will create an area where people can join your game before it starts. Plus, we've provided a handy automatic emailer to help you invite some friends. Then they can invite other friends who invite others, and before you know it, you have enough for a game.

3. All players should be in the same city or general location because you will be interacting with each other.

4. Don’t worry if someone is going to be out of town for a couple days. They can still play while members of their team cover for them.

5. Each game is only $20 per player - a bargain when compared to an afternoon of paintball or a movie, especially when you consider that our games last up to three weeks.

6. Try to have at least 15 ounces of weapons grade plutonium.

7. That’s it. We make everything really easy and help you through each step of the process. (Oh, if you are able to obtain number 6, please visit www.dhs.gov first and tell them all about it.)

How can I get started?

Simply click Setup a New Game (no charge for setup) or Request Information if you would like some help. Once the game is set up, it will take some effort on your part to get others to sign up. We provide a handy automatic emailer for you to invite people, but you'll probably have to call and direct them to go sign up too. We suggest that you start by making 3 or 4 of your closest friends sign up, I'm sure they owe you anyway. Remind them that it is only $20 and there is a money back garauntee. Then have each of them invite two more people, and each of them to invite two more, and so forth. This process takes a little time, but it's definately worth it. It's the difference between 4 or 5 people trying to play the game alone or having an entire city full of secret agents doing secret agent missions. And remember, it's best if everyone doesn't know each other. The maximum number of players is 40, the minimum is 4.

What should I expect once everyone is signed up?

Once everyone is in position and ready to go, the Game Captain starts the game. In order to start the game, Athlon I.A. charges just one credit card. The cost is $20 per player, so the owner of the card needs to collect the money from each player as reimbursment. Make sure you either have everyone's money up front or you are sure you can get it, because there are no refunds for individual players, only as a group.

Emailed missions are then sent to players the day after the Game Captain starts the game. The emails will inform each team of the game’s plot and give specific instructions to carry out in real life. Once you complete these instructions, you report back the results to us and look for more emails. The time and effort you put in to the game is up to you and your team, but make sure you play hard enough to defeat your enemies or you’ll end up looking like a bunch of pansies.
