Google, Facebook, And Other Major Tech Companies Pay This Startup To Get Their Employees Boozed Up And Running Around

Instead of doing boring team-building activities, Silicon Valley technology companies are doing scavenger hunts organized by Joe Garvey, founder of a startup called CLASH.
"We take drinking, competition, and technology, and combine them to make awesome scavenger hunts for companies like Google, Facebook, and Salesforce," Garvey says. "We blow their minds."

As the activities coordinator at a hotel for the homeless, Joe Garvey's job was to get 150 people, many of whom were addicts, to leave their rooms. He created a daily calendar like nothing the Tenderloin hotel had seen before: book clubs, cooking groups, a vegetable garden, trivia nights and a bilingual community newspaper. Each morning, he toured the halls, slipping handwritten invitations under doors.
