What’s better for team building than a scavenger hunt? Let us show you.

Team building should be about connection, not competition.

Scavenger hunts and trivia contests are fun, but they divide people and pit them against each other.

Our activities bring people together.

We mix laughter, creativity, and psychology to build connections that have a lasting impact for your team.

Our remote and in-person workshops bring together groups of 10 to 1000 people for playful, collaborative activities that typically last 60-90 minutes, and can easily be customized for full-day or multi-day sessions.

Sample Team Building Activities

Developed and tested in corporate environments, our workshops are designed to build trust and improve collaboration. Take a look at just a few below — we have dozens that we can customize for your team!

Unblinking Line

Perfect for: Breaking ice, team bonding

Your team is great at what they do. But, useful as perfectionism can be, it can also limit vision, discourage risk taking, and inhibit new ideas. This drawing activity is a laugh-filled way to calm the inner perfectionist and quiet fear of failure. The twist: everyone fails. The magic: everyone loves it.

Sound Bath Bubbles

Perfect for: Fueling collaboration & insight

Personal working styles are more nuanced than most of us realize. To help get the most out of each other, we have everyone translate their inner processes into sounds using found instruments. It’s fun and silly but gives colleagues key insights into what’s going on beneath the surface.

Super Secret

Perfect for: Building empathy, celebrating diversity

A simple yet powerful twist on the pen-pal relationship, Super Secret anonymously pairs people - no names, images, or voices - and builds connection through character rather than characteristics. People walk away with the emotional skills to see the world through a more diverse lens, and fuel the trust and collaboration that makes for strong, innovative teams.

Towering Inspiration

Perfect for: Reigniting purpose & inspiration

Everyone can use a little help staying excited and committed day in, day out. This activity does that by celebrating the people whose inspiration was crucial to the person you grew into. Participants share their stories on a giant card which connects to everyone else’s card to create a stunning collective structure of all the magic and meaning that fuels the people we work with day-to-day.

I usually dread team building activities, but this was different. The facilitation was magical and made all the difference. Absolutely want more of these.
