Resources for Your Office Olympics

Below you will find everything you need to help you get started with your activity, including step-by-step app instructions, the activity challenge list, and FAQs.

Important Details:

Custom Event Details: Your confirmation email will include details for your individual activity access.

Event Logistics: You as the organizer, are responsible for arranging the meeting location (in-person, or virtual meeting platform of your choice).

About Your Activity:

Participants will break out into teams and use Outback’s web application platform to participate in the Office Olympics activity. Your group will put their teamwork to the test as they compete to complete a series of Olympic-style challenges and trivia. You and your team will have the chance to bond together, use creative problem solving skills, and have fun as a group as you work together to solve challenges.

The team to complete the most challenges correctly will be the “winners”. They’ll work through a variety of media challenges and trivia challenges. Teams will automatically receive points for completed media challenges. As they are subjective, we rely on teams to complete the challenge as described. For trivia challenges and other types of challenges, teams will only receive points if they submitted the correct answer and it was marked as “correct” in the app.

Some challenges may require teams to create items. These challenges are meant to encourage teams to be creative in the materials they use, but you may want to prepare teams to have a pen and paper handy.

The activity challenge list is available at the bottom of this page under the resources section.

Prior to Your Activity:

  • Decide your meeting location. Will it be in person or virtual?

  • Organize your participants into teams. Each team should have between 2-6 people and roughly the same number of people on each team. Small groups could play on one team if preferred.

  • Assign a team leader to each team. The team leader will be the only person signing into the app and submitting challenges on behalf of their team.

  • Communicate event details to your group. Ensure that all participants are aware of meeting location & start time.

Starting Your Activity:

  • Assemble participants in meeting room. Ensure all participants are in meeting area and have access to strong WiFi before starting the activity.

  • Introduce yourself & welcome group. You can use the “Sample Group Intro” in the resources section at the bottom of the page if you’d like. Explain what the activity is, how participants can access challenges and complete them, and the objective of the activity.

  • Instruct team leaders on how to sign into the application. Provide them with sign in details found in your confirmation email. Only team leaders require access to the application.

  • Provide your group with the guidelines for what time the activity will conclude and where they will be meeting. Also provide them with your contact information in case they need to reach out with any questions.

  • Have participants break out into teams and start the activity. Let teams know that they can start completing challenges!

During Your Activity:

As the organizer, your role during the activity is as follows:

  • Provide support for teams if they have any questions
  • Provide resources again if requested
  • OPTIONAL: visit teams throughout activity (may help to give insight into any highlights at the end of activity)
  • Review leaderboard & gauge teams’ progress
  • Manage time (IE: 15-minute warning before wrapping up)

App instructions can be found in the resources section at the bottom of this page.

Concluding Your Activity:

  • Ensure you have a strong Wi-Fi/data signal so the submitted challenges have a chance to finish loading into the app.

    • We suggest waiting five minutes at the end of your activity for all submissions to upload to the app before reviewing the scores

  • Refresh your Leaderboard to see the final scores for each team.

  • Present your teams’ photo and video submissions by using the Slideshow link and Entry Code provided in your confirmation email

After the event is done, you can contact your Operations Coordinator at events@outbackteambuilding.com to get a download link for your media. Enjoy the media submitted by your group!
