"We were extremely happy with our Amazing Chase event. One of my favourite things was the way that people were able to get creative and have some fun problem solving! For the teams themselves I think getting exposure to others in our department that they do not work with day-to-day was a key!! It proved the old adage "No one is good at everything, but everyone is good at something". We certainly found value, and have already started talking about what to do next year. I was able to let people know that you guys offer a number of different activities that we can have fun with! Thank you guys for everything!"
