  • Pulling power: Teams will have to perform 12 tasks similar to the ones assigned to Greek legend Hercules.

    Work colleagues in Dubai and the nation’s capital can unite to claim the popular Daman Hercules Trophy in corporate game.

    The Daman Hercules Trophy will debut in Abu Dhabi at Zayed Sports City on February 13, while also taking place at The Sevens in Dubai on February 6 to bring an array of fun and testing challenges for participants across the region to compete in.

    The event’s organisers are expecting more than 100 teams to take part in the team-building day, which will now be available to Abu Dhabi to strengthen even more working relationships.

    “Abu Dhabi is a key market for us and launching our unique concept in the capital of the UAE means we can target a range of companies that haven’t yet been able to experience our offer,” said Yves Vekemans, president and CEO of Hercules Trophy.

    What makes the Hercules Trophy different from other corporate games is the unique “labours” concept, along with plenty of opportunities for networking throughout the day.

    The “labours” comes from ancient Hercules, who had to perform 12 impossible tasks and received help from Hermes and Athena. The Greek gods won’t be there to help you, but that’s why you will need to work together with your team to complete them.

    Join the fun: Every challenge is unique with lot of emphasis on teamwork.

    Every team competes in every labour against other teams, with the captain of each team deciding on four players to participate.

    The challenges will require teamwork, technique, endurance and more, but won’t require you to be the best at sports. Aside from getting your competitive juices flowing, the Hercules Trophy will be a family-friendly event with much to enjoy.

    Along with a great breakfast, lunch, snack, BBQ and bar, there will be DJs playing music, brain teasers, cheerleaders, an award ceremony and more.

    Registration is now open for the event, costing Dh500 per team and Dh500 for breakfast, lunch, snack, soft drinks and the BBQ. Entrance is free for supporters at the award ceremony and after party. To sign up and for more information, visit www.herculestrophy.com

    Gather your colleagues and put your teamwork to the test at the Hercules Trophy.
