#1: Did you know St Pete was the location of the very first commercial flight in the world? In 1914, pilot Tony Jannus flew former St. Petersburg Mayor Abe Phiel to Tampa for $400, skimming across the water at a height of about 50 feet and arriving in 23 minutes. Get your team to the sculpture here in town that is a full scale replica of his historic plane. Once there, have someone take a picture of your unified team all jumping in the air and high-fiving each other at the same time, to honor this city’s role in completely changing how humans come together.

#2: At any point throughout the adventure get your team to Pour Judgement (269 Central Ave), the city’s first craft shot bar. This one of a kind bar features nearly 300 different types of shots! Once there, have each team member order a shot that starts with the same first letter as their first name. Then take a quick video with each person one at a time saying their name and the name of their drink, followed by everyone doing a cheers and drinking up!

#3: This week marked the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. Coast Guard Station here in St Pete was used as a training base for World War II troops and St. Pete became a major technical services training center for the Army Air Corps. More than 100,000 trainees filled every hotel in the city, swelling the population and creating a housing shortage as their families looked for places to live. After the war, many of the service members stationed here took up permanent residence with their families. Anywhere around the area find an active military person or a veteran. Then 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.

#4: Take a video of your team successfully completing the Whipped Cream Catapult Challenge (click the link at the end of the description to see it performed properly). There are two options for completing this depending on your Covid comfort level with the other members of your team. Option #1 is to divide your team into pairs. Have someone squirt a dollop (small lump) of whipped cream onto the back of their hand. Have the other person stand a few feet away from them ready to catch the whipped cream in their mouth. The person with the whipped cream on their hand will swing their arm back, palm down. When that hand gets back in front of them at about waist height, they’ll strike their wrist with their other free hand, causing the whipped cream to go flying. The second person should successfully catch the whipped cream in their mouth, or at least catch some of it in their mouth and the rest on their face. For this option, at least half your team should make a successful catch in the video. For Option #2 each team member will put the whipped cream on the back of their own hand and fling it up to themselves, at least 3 feet above their head. For this option everyone on the team would need to make a successful catch in the video. To understand the challenge better and to watch a video of a team successfully completing it click HERE.

#5: Get your team to the world renowned Salvador Dali Museum here in town. Once there, head inside and request a free Ground Floor Only admission ticket and use that to get your team to the popular Wish Tree outside. In the 10 years since this tradition began, museum goers have written over 20,000 wishes on their admission bracelets and attached them to this tree. And just this week the museum has released a book that you can purchase featuring some of the wishes throughout the past decade. Once there, make a wish of your own, attach it to the tree and either take a video of some team members reading their wishes (if they want to), or take a memorable group picture with the colorful wish tree as the backdrop.

#6: Throughout your time with this company have likely used Scotch Tape for just about everything. Well, except this. To honor this incredibly versatile American-made product take a fun team picture after everyone uses Scotch tape to stretch and distort their faces. For some inspiration click HERE.

#7: Anywhere around the city find a tiki figure of any size (must be an actual physical one and not just a picture). Then take a fun team picture with the statue, while each team member imitates the facial expression of that tiki character.

#8: Get your team to the splash pad located on the St Pete Pier. Once there take a video of each team member successfully completing a Bottle Flip and getting it to land on one of the water jet features. Use a standard (16 ounces or so) bottle of water and flip it like the video shown HERE. But instead of just getting it to land anywhere, some portion of your bottle will need to come to rest on one of the water jet features shown HERE. Try to have all team members surround the same water feature and take turns attempting to land it so that your group is closer (and wetter) together.

#9: More than 100 years ago locals discovered an underground artisan well on the south side of town and labeled it the Fountain Of Youth. Tourists from all over came to visit the attraction and drink it’s water. Although it’s water source is now dried up, the fountain still stands. To honor this mythical place and the people who came to this city searching for it, find any youth (or group of youth) around the city and take a video of them teaching your team members how to “Floss”. And no, it has nothing to do with your teeth.

#10: Anywhere around town take a team picture with any boat name OR regulation street name sign that would be considered an “alliteration” (two consecutive words that start with the same letter). For example, it could be a boat named “Speedy Salmon” or a road that starts with R, a street that starts with S, an avenue that starts with A, a lane that starts with L, and so on. Adventure Avenue would be accepted but Adventure Road would not. If the street name has a direction at the beginning of it (such as NW or SE) then you can disregard that and focus on the actual name.

#11: Get to any grassy surface and take a video of your team all completing the Group Sit & Stand Challenge. 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. Slowly lower the entire interlocked group to the ground until you are in a seated position with your butt on the ground, and then slowly stand back up while remaining interlocked. To watch a video of a group successfully completing this challenge click HERE.

#12: The Bucs are in pursuit of that elusive back to back Superbowl title. To help them get psyched up for a playoff run, 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.

#13: 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 then celebrate!

#14: Research shows that consuming raw garlic can boost your immune system. So take a video of all your team members each chewing a separate raw clove of garlic for at least 10 full seconds. Team members should be actively chewing the clove and not just holding it in their mouths. Disclaimer, although healthy this will likely not be pleasant, which is exactly the point.

#15: 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.

#16: For this challenge you have two options you can choose from. Option #1: Find a postcard that features this area in some way or a greeting card designed by a local artist and purchase it. Then click HERE to go to the Postcard Happiness Project website and scroll down to the profile for John Craig, an adult with Downs Syndrome from Oregon that loves to receive mail. On your postcard include a fun or uplifting message and sign it with your names or your group name. The mailing address for John can be found in his profile description. Stamp your card and take a picture with it to show you've completed your Act Of Kindness. Option #2: Get your team to the “Greetings From St Petersburg” mural shown HERE. Take a fun team picture at that location and submit it to our HQ. We’ll then use that photo to create a custom postcard with an uplifting message and mail it to John for you.
