It was a chilly winter’s day as Team Challenge Company made the journey to Blairgowrie to host another evening entertainment event for the wonderful team at A Proctor. Once again they would be experiencing the delights of Team Challenge Company hosting their challenging Las Vegas themed Big Quiz and Vegas themed evening entertainment.
As our guests began to arrive, the bar was slowly filling up and the atmosphere was building for what was set to be a thoroughly entertaining evening! Sharon and Keira were there bright and early once again and as usual organising the perfect finishing touches to this year’s Christmas Party and the Las Vegas Props certainly went down a storm! Just take a look through those photos!!
As the guests were mingling and relaxing and beginning to enjoy their festive celebrations, little did they know their dinnertime entertainment was warming up behind the curtains! After a scrumptious Christmas lunch, the guests got their game faces on at their elegantly decorated Christmas tables and awaited their fate.
Alan kicked off the evening with a lovely speech thanking those within the company who have made such a great impact on their year and over the years, which was a great testament to the group – it was an inspiring start !
Then it was game on as we fired up the Big Las Vegas Quiz. The teams were named after the tables they were sat at and the games had begun! With Elvis tunes from wall to wall firing up the crowd, many in the most elaborate Christmas jumpers we had ever seen – we started with an ice breaker just to get the room grooving, in the form of our infamous Hit or Miss round. Various Hits were played but the challenge was – did they make it to Number One or not?! Some managed to tackle through the masses to get to the finale, in a last attempt to win we went head to head to be crowned Victor- just look at the photos!
The rest of the evening continued with head to head battles of many variations, from the smartest person to fittest team member, we had all the teams battling it out with each other - with Guess Who, Las Vegas Knowledge, Vegas Movies and Landmarks it was all to play for! In a last minute bid to win extra points, the teams were going all out for those potentially victorious points! The finale ended with 7 teams losing out by just a few points but the crowned champions were the “The Venetian Villains” in 1st place and never a bad round scoring a massive 620 points- great use of Mascot Joker !! Using their joker in their specialist round was definitely their best decision of the night as they went steaming ahead and never looked back! They were closely followed by their main competition or shall we say rivals for the night - the “Bellagio Bruisers” at 590 points and then in 3rd we had the “Winners” who amazingly didn’t win despite all their cheering - with 570 points.

The party carried on late into the evening with both a great show stopping turn from our Las Vegas showgirls friends and even a stint of Karaoke - but as they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!
A huge shout out to both Sharon and Keira for all their hard work leading up to and on the evening itself- shame you ladies unfortunately missed out on the top spot – and to be honest there wasn’t even a bribe in sight from the Villains!

A great Big thanks to Sharon and Keira for all their help and planning for the evening, its always a pleasure to work with professionals. Shame you ladies didn't walk away winners at the Big Quiz - not that Winning meant everything to you ! See you all again soon Stephen
