Looking to truly connect with your colleagues in Mountain View? The indoor activity, Hardware Harmony, is a fun, high-energy team building event that encourages creativity, collaboration and teamwork.

In this unique and engaging team building event, colleagues split into teams and compete in music-themed mental, physical, and skill-based challenges. For each completed challenge, teams earn points and acquire accessories and rhythm pattern guides as well as an array of instruments comprised of spare parts and home hardware supplies.

Then, teams use the items they’ve earned to channel their inner orchestra, rehearse for their own concert, and have some unabashed fun before putting on a final performance with the rest of the group.

Finally, teams will donate their “instruments” to a local charity that supports those in need of affordable housing.

If you’re interested in a fun indoor team building activity in that can help you and your colleagues work on problem solving, collaboration, and creativity while doing some good for the community, then Hardware Harmony is the one for you!

Hardware Harmony will help participants in Mountain View:

• Collaborate more effectively
• Work cohesively and harmoniously
• Exercise creativity
• Enhance problem solving skills
• Have fun outside their comfort zone

How It Works

There are three stages of Hardware Harmony

• Stage One: First, your team splits into groups. One member from each group registers their team on the Outback smartphone app. Then, teams collaborate to solve a series of music-themed mental, physical, and skill-based challenges. For each correctly solved challenge, teams receive points, as well as accessories, rhythm pattern guides, and an array of spare parts, home hardware items, and tools which will be used as musical instruments.
• Stage Two: Once teams have completed the Hardware Harmony challenges and collected their “instruments,†they will harness the lively and enlightening energy of music to collaborate, get outside their comfort zone, be creative, and rehearse for their very own concert.
• Stage Three: Finally, teams will channel their inner orchestra and come together for the crescendo of the event : a high-energy, high-excitement, full-team Hardware Harmony performance with their colleagues. Following the performance, the team that earned the most points in the challenge will receive our coveted Outback Team Building & Training Gold Medals. Then, your team will donate their instruments to a local charity to provide supplies and tools which will assist those in need of affordable housing.

We can run this event anywhere, in any time frame, for any group size:

Where the event takes place is totally up to you – most of our groups prefer to run it in an indoor venue like a large meeting space, ballroom, or office. The activity makes for a great transition after a morning meeting session.

We typically require access to your venue for an hour and a half for set up before the event begins, and then between one to two and a half hours with your group for the activity, although this is totally flexible.

And yes, like almost all our team building activities, this event is completely scalable for large groups of any size.

Your investment includes:

• Full-service Hardware Harmony event package
• Complete pre-program communication, including liaising with venue (we can help you source many hotels, resorts, and venues in Mountain View)
• On-site professional event leader and friendly event hosts
• Everything needed for the activity, including all materials and specialty items
• Collaborative debrief
• Delivery, set up, management, and break down of event

Keep in mind that for really large groups with tight budgets, we’re fantastic at coming up with a solution that will work for everyone.
