On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
Multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.

International Spy Museum
International Spy Museum
Multi-city
The International Spy Museum (SPY) is an independent nonprofit museum which documents the tradecraft, history, and contemporary role of espionage. It holds the largest collection of international espionage artifacts on public display. The Museum opened in 2002 in the Penn Quarter neighborhood of Washington, DC, and relocated to a new, expanded building with all-new exhibitions at L'Enfant Plaza in 2019. Every nation considers intelligence essential to its national security. The Museum lifts the veil of secrecy on the hidden world of intelligence, exploring its successes and failures, challenges, and controversies. The Museum's mission is to create compelling exhibitions and other learning experiences that shed light on the shadow world of espionage and intelligence, educating and challenging each of us to engage critically with the complex world around us. The Museum aims to provide an objective and apolitical forum for exploring important topics such as the impact of secrecy on civil liberties, the changing role of technology in intelligence work, and the challenges of disinformation in a social media environment.

Managed Rideshare Events ™ Ground Transportation
Managed Rideshare Events ™ Ground Transportation
Worldwide
Event Transportation. Rethought. Managed Rideshare Events gives you a smarter way to handle group transportation — without the gaps. Whether you need a luxury sedan for a VIP arrival, an SUV for the executive team, a van for staff and extended family, or a last-minute ride when plans change, we coordinate it all through a single managed account. From elite vehicles to EV options and autonomous services like Waymo in select markets, every tier of your group is covered. Managed Rideshare Events™ is not a traditional ground transportation company. We are a managed rideshare program provider — designing and administering customized Uber, Lyft, and many other rideshare voucher programs for event planners, associations, corporations, and institutions. We serve the space between small companies (who handle a few vouchers directly) and large enterprises (who have internal travel programs). Our clients need a dedicated, professionally managed rideshare solution for event attendees — separate from internal corporate accounts. Key differentiators: Voucher-based rideshare management for rides, food, and deliveries Serves SMBs, associations, educational institutions, and mid-market corporate events Truly global coverage through rideshare networks — unlimited fleet, 24/7, local languages and currencies 30–50% cost savings vs. traditional ground transportation for comparable vehicles Ideal for staff, attendees, job candidates, and large distributed crowds Not a fit for high-security, VIP, or motorcoach needs — but often a secondary solution for this type of event.

FrogQuest Photo Scavenger Hunts
FrogQuest Photo Scavenger Hunts
Multi-city
LIVE JUDGING: FrogQuest is the only photo scavenger hunt where every single photo submission is reviewed and scored by a live human judge — in real time, as your event unfolds. Our judges award bonus points for creativity, deduct for a half-hearted effort, and drop witty commentary that keeps energy high throughout. No algorithm, no auto-scoring. Real people, real reactions, real fun. ANY LOCATION: We build a custom hunt around virtually any location in the United States. Your hotel's neighborhood, a conference venue district, a specific city your team is visiting for a sales kick-off — we design the challenges around the actual streets, landmarks, and culture of wherever you are. Every event is completely unique to your group and your location. HOW IT WORKS: We meet your group in the city of your choice, kick off the event with a quick briefing, then send teams loose to complete creative photo challenges while our live judges score submissions in real time. A live leaderboard keeps the competition fierce, and the event wraps with a hosted awards ceremony and a curated photo slideshow that has everyone roaring with laughter. TURNKEY & PROVEN: We handle all logistics so you can actually participate with your team. We've hosted over 24,000 teams and 125,000+ participants across the United States, with 200+ 5-star reviews. From small departmental outings to large-scale conference off-sites, we create experiences your team will be talking about for months.
