Turboventure
Fuel up your team building experience high octane with Turboventure. This thrill-ride sits in the grounds of the Maften estate and lets you cruise around on tanks and quad bikes. Just be prepared for a little (or a lot) of mud. The experience starts with being taught how to control the tank or quad bike, and a practice run in the artificial forest to let you get to grips with navigating, before you’re let loose into the woods. You can also play a quick game of quad football, which is sure to bring the team together with a little friendly competition.
Escape Key
Sitting in the heart of Newcastle, Escape Key offers a range of themed escape rooms which are sure to delight and challenge your team. Save humanity from an incoming asteroid in Armageddon, or turn back the clock to 1636 to outwit a crazed plague doctor and save yourselves from the Black Death in a room which overlooks a real plague pit. Worth a special mention is the range of outdoor escape games: story-led adventures taking you around the city to explore at your own pace. Bespoke packages for team building are available, so you can tailor the offering to suit your client’s needs.
