Meaningful Team Building Activities in New York City

Unique team bonding for groups of 5 to 500

If you’re looking for a fun, creative activity to bring your team together in New York City, you’ve come to the right place.

We use imaginative, art-based activities and storytelling prompts that are fun and playful, but carefully designed to fuel a healthy, connected work culture long after the activity ends.

Unlike scavenger hunts and obstacle courses that pit them against each other, we bring people together. Unlike classes and tours where people don’t contribute anything of themselves, we make sure that everyone learns something new about themselves and each other—in between all the laughing.

These are pieces participants created for each other during our most popular activity “Emblemottos.”

In this activity, participants create gifts for each other after hearing stories about each other’s lives.

We provide evocative, whimsical materials, and participants create unique 3D artwork that brings their hopes and goals to life.

Our unique combination of psychological safety, imagination, and empathy is our secret sauce for connecting people in meaningful ways. We help people open up without feeling threatened, practice taking risks without fear, and experience the joy of making others successful. Participants feel encouraged, seen and celebrated for who they are. 

Some of our favorite themes to work with include: celebrating a milestone, building trust, bridging silos, connecting introverts and extroverts, cultivating empathy, celebrating diversity and building lasting connections.

Meet with us today to get a recommendation for the right activity for your group.  We customize activities based on group size, meeting theme, and goals. 

We’d love to help your team connect and thrive. Tell us about your event or goals and let’s make a plan.

“Professionally, there’s a lot of value in doing activities with coworkers that aren’t directly work-related. Make Believe Works helped us build real rapport and get to know each other more personally. That built a foundation that has enriched our work relationships and supported us during more intense professional moments.”
