Many have played. Many have laughed along the way. Many have described the experience in favorable terms. But few have won. Meet American Training’s orientation WOW! Magic Scavenger Hunt, a hunt like no other.
The Scenario:
You are brand new to American Training. You are enthusiastic and eager to begin your new job, but as you approach the front door for your week-long orientation, the nerves start to set in. What if I get lost getting to the building? What if I don’t recognize anyone? What if there’s something I forgot to bring? Your heart pounds and your palms start to sweat as you take your seat.
The morning orientation session is engaging and informative, and you have a delicious Chinese food lunch. Right when the post-lunch fatigue starts to set in and you’re beginning to feel drowsy, an announcement is made, inviting you to participate in an epic, once-in-a-lifetime competition – the WOW! Magic Scavenger Hunt – and you perk up immediately. (You love to compete for a prize!)
The Mission:
You and three of your new favorite American Training Colleagues must come up with a one-of-a-kind team name – something catchy that will set your team off on the right foot for victory. You must then choose one tech-savvy team member with a steady hand, who will be responsible for photographing and filming your team as you complete the tasks on the WOW! Magic Scavenger Hunt checklist.
As you scan the items on the checklist you begin to strategize the best way to get to the Business Office, LARE, and Vanway; introduce yourself to Colleagues in each program; take creative pictures with your new friends; meet a Guest from Day Services; and interview Colleagues to learn the mission statement and ask them what they like best about working at American Training. You can’t wait for the opportunity to explore the building and learn about the different departments within the company while working alongside other new Colleagues.
Your team needs to be the first team back with the entire checklist completed in order to secure the win. You are ready for the challenge!
The Prize:
The stakes are high as the winning team will be awarded with some exceptionally stylish American Training gear (baseball hats, canvas bags and car chargers), and also – most importantly – they will receive the distinct honor of calling themselves the WOW! Magic Scavenger Hunt Winners. And that, you are convinced, is a title worth competing for. Let the games begin!

I definitely think the addition of the WOW! Magic Scavenger Hunt during Orientation week was a big WOW!! I’ve heard many new colleagues raving about it and enjoy seeing their excitement as they move through our halls on a mission to complete it.
