#1: PwC is committed to supporting a more equitable and sustainable planet through initiatives that will help the firm achieve net zero status by the year 2030, and create more sustainable offices. Currently, 94% of PwC office space has recycling facilities and 28% provide compost bins. There is also a focus on removing deskside bins and steering employees to use consolidated waste hubs to increase recycling and reduce landfill waste.  To honor PwC’s commitment to the environment, anywhere around the area find a canister of some sort that has the triangular recycling symbol on it. You are looking for an actual recycling disposal can, where someone would get rid of recyclable materials, and not just any product that has the recycling symbol on it such as a plastic bottle. Once you’ve found one, take a picture of your entire team all completing any variation of the "Tree Pose" while the canister with the recycling symbol on it is clearly visible in the background. To view a picture of someone properly performing a variation of the Tree Pose click HERE.

#2: Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy one final gift as a team. Wrap any one member of your team from head to toe in toilet paper (or multiple team members if they want to get in on the fun) leaving as few gaps as possible except around their nose/mouth so they can breathe easily. Then take a fun team picture with your newly wrapped co-worker and at some point throughout the process have each team member state one reason why the person being wrapped is a “gift” to PwC or to them personally.

#3: Located somewhere in the surrounding area is the “mural” seen HERE, which is an ode to one of our favorite 90’s rap songs. Once you’ve found it, take a fun team picture where you are all pushing your noses up with your thumbs to create your best pig face, while the mural is clearly visible in the background.

#4: The St. Petersburg–Tampa Airboat Line was the first scheduled airline using a fixed wing aircraft. The airline provided service between the two cities, flying the 23 miles across Tampa Bay, while rarely exceeding an altitude of more than 5 feet above the water. To honor this city’s role in advancing human commercial flight, take a video of your team completing the "Paper Airplane Challenge". Basically send some team members to the 2nd level of any building or parking garage and have them toss paper airplanes out into the air in front of them (not just dropping it straight downward). The rest of your team should be on the sidewalk or grass below. Any of your team members at ground level need to catch just one plane before it hits the ground. All team members at ground level can be attempting to catch planes, but only one plane needs to be caught. To watch a team complete this mission successfully click HERE.

#5: To succeed within PwC, or in this adventure, you need to be able to work closely with others and communicate effectively. Find any food establishment around the area whose featured product is a soft pretzel. Once there, take a video of your team working together to complete the Group Sit & Stand Challenge while the restaurant is visible in the background at some point. Basically, your team members will all be standing shoulder to shoulder in a tight clump/circle with your backs all facing in and your arms interlocked, like one big pretzel. Slowly lower the entire interlocked group to the ground until you are in a seated position with your butts on the ground, and then slowly stand all the way back up while remaining interlocked the entire time. To watch a video of a group successfully completing this challenge click HERE.

#6: The NFL playoffs are set to begin and Tom Brady will try to lead the Bucs to another Superbowl title! To help them get psyched up for their upcoming primetime game against Dallas, find a logo of the Bucs anywhere around the city being proudly displayed, worn, flown, etc. Then take a video of your group pretending to Gronk spike an imaginary football and immediately breaking into your very best celebratory touchdown dance while the logo is clearly visible in the background. If you need some inspiration for your performance you can click HERE.

#7: At the core of everything PwC does is to build trust in society and solve important problems. This can only be achieved by listening to the people you provide services for and understanding the stories that make them who they are. Take a video of your team and any stranger that has a tattoo while they explain what that tattoo means to them or why they got it. The tattoo must be visible at some point during the video.

#8: Working for PwC requires an incredible attention to detail and a fine tuned awareness of time so that you meet every deadline for the clients you serve. To test your skills have any TWO team members successfully complete the “5 Second Challenge”. On their mobile devices successfully use the stopwatch function to get the timer to stop at exactly 5 seconds. Once they’ve got it, have someone take a picture of both teammates together as they proudly display their devices with 5.00 seconds clearly visible on each. This should be done using the stopwatch function and not the countdown/timer clock. Everyone can be attempting the challenge but only TWO team members need to complete it successfully.

#9: Tampa has played an important role in this country’s military history as far back as the Spanish American War and all the way through modern warfare. Anywhere around the area find an active military person or a veteran. They could be wearing some form of military or veteran attire, have a military ID, or they could simply describe their military background while you’re completing your challenge. Once you’ve found someone, take a video of them watching your entire team doing 10 push-ups or sit-ups at their feet to honor their strength and courage. After you’ve finished recording, spend a few minutes learning more about their time in the service before you depart, as a small gesture of appreciation.

#10: With an average daily temperature of more than 90 degrees, there aren’t many things hotter than August in Tampa. Well, except maybe this challenge. Anywhere around the area, take a video of your team members all at the same time consuming separate spoonfuls of any brand of hot sauce (the hotter the better). Make sure to show the bottle or packet of hot sauce in the video so it can be confirmed that it's actually hot sauce you're consuming. Disclaimer, this will likely not be pleasant, which is exactly the point. Because a team that suffers together, grows together.

#11: In order to be ranked as one of the top accounting firms in the nation requires PwC employees to be detail oriented and good with numbers. This challenge will test your ability to notice some of those kinds of details, even while you’re surrounded by lots of distractions. Take a team picture with any parked vehicle that has a license plate which contains numerical digits that add up to 10, no more, no less. So if the plate were "CF2H 5K3" it would be acceptable because those numbers add up to 10 and there aren't any additional numbers.

#12: Get every team member a large (16 ounces or so) open-top paper, plastic, or foam cup and fill it with water. Then somewhere outdoors, line up shoulder to shoulder and balance a full cup on each team member’s head. Once everyone’s cups are balanced, hold hands with the team members on either side of you and take a video of your team working together to all take 10 steps forward without anyone touching their cup or having it spill. If someone’s cup spills make sure to encourage them and then refill any spilled cups and start again as a team. After your team successfully travels 10 steps together dump the cups to prove they were full, and celebrate!

#13: Tampa's first organized volunteer fire department began in 1884 with Seven "bucket brigades" organized to serve the city. The modern day department not only protects the citizens of this community, but also Tampa International Airport, Port Tampa Bay, and Raymond James Stadium. To honor the brave firefighters that protect this area, take a video of your team completing "Stop, Drop, and Roll" while any regulation/operable fire extinguisher is visible in the background, or you are standing in front of an actual fire station. Be sure to yell each step of the fire safety technique as you all do it together and make sure the fire extinguisher or fire station is clearly visible at some point in your video.

#14: Get to any clothing or apparel store and find two different items with enough in stock that every team member can be wearing the same two items in their own sizes. Then take a fun team picture with everyone wearing those items. For example it may be a wacky shirt, and a pair of shorts. Or maybe some cozy slippers and a large sun hat. As long as everyone is wearing the same exact two items but in their own sizes.

#15: Get your team to International Plaza and find a business within the mall whose name includes the letters P, W, and C anywhere within it’s name. Once you’ve found one, take a fun team picture celebrating with the retailers’ sign clearly visible in the background. Keep in mind a business' official name might include a short description of their product or service. For example, if Starbucks official name was "Starbucks Coffee and Whipped Cream" and that was displayed on the official sign above the door then that would be acceptable because it includes all three required letters.

#16: Over the years, we’ve found that the teams that bond the most are the ones that do something meaningful or impactful together. So here is your chance. To honor those, and their families, who are impacted by Childhood Cancer, take a proud team picture showing off your hands once every member of your team has gotten their fingernails painted bright gold (the international color for childhood cancer awareness) using real nail polish. For every team that completes this challenge successfully our company (Team Building Anywhere) will be donating $25 to a local childhood cancer charity called National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, which is based here in Tampa.
