A corporate retreat in Honduras, organised by a tech firm in 2017 at a cost of £385,000 (approximately $500,000), is remembered for its extreme challenges and mishaps. Nearly a decade later, employees recount a week filled with unexpected disasters, including eating tarantulas and crawling on scorching beaches. The event was apparently inspired by the reality TV show Survivor.
For those unfamiliar, Survivor is a long-running reality television programme where contestants are placed in remote locations and must compete to outlast one another. They take part in physical and mental challenges while managing limited food, shelter, and resources. Players form alliances and vote each other out at regular tribal councils. The last remaining contestant wins a cash prize, typically decided by a jury of eliminated players.
