Corporations pay a lot of money for these firms that come in and create TBE's for their employees to participate in and, hopefully, bond even greater and learn the importance of Team Work through scavenger hunts, etc. Sometimes they make them dress up in ridiculous costumes and ask complete strangers on the street odd, pre-scripted questions, the answer to which is designed to move them on to their next destination. It's really quite annoying to be sitting in a North Beach cafe trying to enjoy your coffee or your Guinness and someone dressed as a leprechaun comes up and asks if you are Madame Woo. Quite annoying. This phenom, called Team Building Exercises, was rampant in San Francisco when I lived there in 2007.
