Share some team building horror stories.
At a team building at a ropes course, the safety equipment was clearly old and not well - maintained. One of my colleagues slipped on a high - up rope bridge because the ropes were frayed. He could have been seriously injured. It was a nightmare waiting to happen and made the whole experience terrifying for all of us.
We had a team building in a supposedly 'haunted' old mansion. The organizers thought it would be 'fun'. But during the night, there were strange noises and some people claimed to see shadowy figures. Everyone was so scared that we all huddled together in one room and didn't get any of the planned team building activities done.
One horror story was a team building event in a forest. The organizers planned a 'survival' themed event. But they didn't properly mark the paths. Half of the team got lost in the forest. It was really scary as it started getting dark and some people had no idea how to get back. We finally found our way back after hours of wandering.
