Winter is in full force in North America, and while we will soon be approaching spring there are no signs of it getting any warmer anytime soon. If your organization is planning a corporate team building event then perhaps an indoor program could be the best choice for you.
Team outings can bring your business a number of benefits. They are a great way to bring your team together, encourage staff members to bond, reduce employee stress, improve collaboration in the office and to give them the chance to get to know each other outside of the office.
However, the weather can be unpredictable. In fact, there’s not many things worse than getting your employees excited for their yearly team event, only for them to find out later that it’s cancelled because of too much rain or a snow storm.
Whether you are planning a team event this spring or summer, or perhaps you are getting a head start for your corporate team building event next winter, an indoor event is a great choice. Not only are they just as fun and great for professional development, they are also a fantastic way to ensure the weather won’t put a dampener on your event.
Teambonders has created a list of eight fun indoor corporate team building events everyone in your organization will love, no matter the time of year:
1 - Espionage Suite Hotel Escape Game
Escape rooms require leadership skills, teamwork, logic, and patience if your team is to succeed. So, what is it all about? Imagine your corporate identity blended with a realistic, cyber espionage crisis and you're in the thick of it.
Utilizing actual hotel rooms and hiding the game in plain sight makes this the most unique escape game available today. Nowhere else can your entire group play the exact same scenario against one another, simultaneously. You will have 60 minutes to save the company - is your organization up to the challenge?
Suggested time: 2 hours
Group sizes: 6-600+
Suggested team size: 6-8
2 - Classic Game Shows: Survey Showdown
Complete with authentic visuals, sound effects and music, classic game shows are a great way to have fun and improve collaboration within your teams.
Teambonders has taken a survey of 100 people, and have compiled the ‘top’ answers to a multitude of interesting pop culture and general knowledge questions - we can even include some about your own company for some added bite.
There are two different ways to play and we can engage hundreds of participants at the same time. Can your employees uncover the most popular answers and bank the points?
