Team building games are competitive, collaborative and enjoyable activities that boost productivity, connect your team, and, ultimately, the success of your company. For example, escape games, scavenger hunts, and construction activities give your employees time to bond and get to know each other, which helps lead to better communication, job satisfaction, and retention. Here are our top 10 recommendations for in-person team-building events in 2022.
Teams collaborate and communicate to create an enormous interconnected multi-canvas artwork reflecting your team’s goals & values.
Prior to the event, a painting is designed that reflects your key values. Each team has a blank canvas which is a part of the whole painting. Working with a design information sheet each team paints their canvas. They soon realize that they must collaborate with the teams on all sides of their canvas in order for the final artwork to have continuity. Once time is up, participants move to a separate area while the big canvas is constructed. With a countdown from participants, the big picture is revealed to thunderous applause and delight.
