The Game: Outrageous Olympics is the perfect Corporate Olympic program, with hundreds of successful events during the past 17 years for teams from 25 to 500 (in Central Park). Imagine field day with all the bells and whistles. The games take approximately 2 hours to complete, beginning with the opening ceremony (including the lighting of the 9’ Olympic torch) and ending with the closing ceremony where the Bronze, Silver and Gold medals are given.
Our Giant Scoreboard will keep track of who’s in the running for the gold, silver and bronze, right up to the end when teams give their all in a final team cheer. As the competition winds down, the MC will announce the winning teams and make the awards presentation. "Olympic theme" thunders as gold medals are awarded and the entire group leaves with a pumped up feeling of Camaraderie! The entire event is run in continuity and we even offer 2 hours of DJ service for FREE for your picnic.
We conduct the games as an interactive live production like you would see on ESPN. All of the events have musical underscoring provided by an on-field DJ. We place participants from your group on up to 5 teams, and they compete head-to-head in ten wacky, wild, non-athletic relay races. The games are high-energy and humorous. The event is hosted by a professionally trained MC who explains the rules, and then provides play-by-play commentary akin to the top sportscasts. Our Outrageous Officials come dressed ready to assist your teams and judge the results on the field!
Once you see our trailer pull up with all the games, props, sound, flags and décor, you can relax. This is the perfect event for summer outings, company picnics and corporate events.
This event is currently available within driving distance of our two East Coast offices, in Boston and Richmond, VA covering roughly the entire East Coast. Ask about our Corporate Olympics which is available anywhere else in the country.
Outrageous Olympics has dozens more games that we can send over depending on your location, group size and needs. This popular program includes upbeat music, sound, banners and fun, friendly and dare we say “outrageous” officials!
