Team building experts Exclusive Events New Zealand has rolled out a new team building concept based in Christchurch.

Taking its lead from the latest Dan Brown bestseller ‘Angels and Demons’, the company has launched a team building experience that highlights many of the garden city’s iconic landmarks.

The new Angels and Demons programme starts under the well-known statue of angels in the city’s renowned Cathedral Square, and then takes groups on a journey of mystery and intrigue as they decipher clues designed to make participants feel like Robert Langdon himself.

During the fun challenge, teams discover some of Christchurch’s prominent historic landmarks, taking part in a number of diverse activities along the way.

The Angels and Demons team building challenge ends at a secret location within the imposing Christchurch Arts Centre, with the option of finishing with a celebratory cocktail and canapés or going the whole nine yards to finish with a fully themed dinner.

“We love developing new team building concepts and initial reaction to this has been exceptional,” said Meagan Kelly of Exclusive Events Christchurch.

“We recognised that Christchurch needed some new team building product, so we thought outside the square to develop Angels and Demons, a contemporary initiative with historical and fun elements that sum up the range of activities on offer in the city.”

Angels and Demons was ‘road tested’ in September by a group of keen Christchurch industry representatives who gathered in Cathedral Square not knowing what they were letting themselves in for.

Exclusive Events director Liam Taylor said it was a “huge” success with attendees being treated to their own magic show and post event drinks and nibbles by Continental Catering.

“Launching exciting new product like Angels and Demons to our own industry peers with the amazing reaction received is a true benchmark of success,” he said.

Janelle Brooking of Vbase, Christchurch, described it as an “amazing experience.”

“We thought it was amazing and have been raving about since,” she said. “We loved the whole product, then to be spoilt with such beautiful food and beverages at the end was just the icing on the cake.”

Continental Catering spokesperson Martin Tunley said the company was delighted to work in partnership with Exclusive Events.

“Innovative ideas and great new product, married with Continental's experience and superb new menu concepts, drive the kind of successful results we’ve always had working with Exclusive Events,” he said.
