This leaves you free to sit back and enjoy the ride – literally. Your professional TeamBonding host knows how to keep the ride interesting with music, trivia, road trip games, and a healthy dose of humor.

Haunted Bus

Two people sitting at an outdoor table appear to be acting out a playful, dramatic scene. The person on the left is wearing a hoodie with the hood pulled over their face, raising their arms as if to 'scare' the other person. The person on the right is recoiling in mock fear, raising their hands defensively while leaning back in their chair. The scene takes place under a canopy with string lights, and there are empty plates on the table, suggesting the duo is at a restaurant or cafe.

A man and a woman are dressed up in spooky, Halloween-themed makeup and costumes. The man has a startled, scared expression with his hands raised defensively, while the woman, who has bloody makeup with a gash across her face, is leaning toward him with her mouth open, mimicking a scream or growl.

A woman stands behind a glass door decorated with fake spider webs, pressing her hands and face against the glass in a playful expression of fear, as though she's trapped. Behind her, festive lights are strung across an outdoor space, and a red-and-black decorative figure hangs above, adding to the Halloween atmosphere.

A group of three people dressed in Halloween costumes standing on a porch, engaging in playful action. The man on the left is dressed as a vampire, wearing a white shirt and a large black cape with a red interior, looking surprised as he steps off the porch. A young woman in the background is dressed as a devil, with a red outfit, horns, and a big smile on her face, adding energy to the scene. A woman in the foreground is wearing a black, dramatic outfit, possibly a witch costume, spinning around with her cloak flowing.

"Our team had a blast on the mystery bus! Everything was taken care of for us, all we had to do was enjoy each other and the ride."

McKesson Corporation

"The feedback I have received from my group for the event was fabulous. The pictures are a wonderful addition and can be revisited later to reminisce. Working with Shannon was a breeze and the Facilitator Deric was wonderful. We have absolutely no complaints and only positive things to say about the experience. Thank you again for your assistance."

Sharon Credit Union

"Amazing. Everyone from start to finish was great. Kara Trombly was awesome in answering my questions, taking my many phone calls in setting up the event. She was very helpful in getting Teambonding on our vendor list as well. Samantha Goldstein was so very helpful and accommodating to our needs, changing things around when we asked, and finding great locations for the team to have a blast. Kevin Pertusiello did a fantastic job in ushering our group around to the different locations, making sure they were all engaged, and genuinely having the team enjoy themselves. The goal of this event was to break down barriers, build friendships and simply be goofs with each other. Kevin helped make that happen. This is a company I will recommend and we will most likely use again in the future."

"They all had a BLAST!!! I absolutely loved that no one knew anything and had to completely trust me! LOL, I will definitely set something up for the future, and for my other department. Feel free to check in with me at the beginning of the year for the group you just did. In the meantime, I will check with my other exec on setting something up for his group within the next few weeks and get back to you. I should know something by Friday. I want to add a tip for Debbie and our driver."

Chobani

"The Mystery Bus was a big hit! Everyone really had a great time . Shannon was really helpful within finding the perfect venues for our group. She came up with some good ideas for venues and activities and they loved the teaser she wrote, which we sent out the day before. Alisha was very good at facilitating and I believe she had someone assisting her to go to the venues ahead of time to make sure everything was ready and would run smoothly. It was all very well thought out and well executed. We really appreciate everyone’s hard work."

Takeda

!So much fun today! The axe-throwing was a blast! Had a nice competition with the cake decorating as well! Didn’t expect the Mexican food at history museum – but it was delicious! Mike was fabulous and kept us entertained on the bus rides between stops! "
