Ignite team communication wherever you are.
how it works
In iBuild, the end goal is to pass information through a communication chain to create a replica of a model, without seeing it! Each team has a remote player, the Architect who connects to the team through their digital device. The information flows from ‘Architects’, passing to ‘Couriers’ and finally to the ‘Builders’. Fun communication barriers, a strict project deadline and last-minute role switch ruling all add to the pressure in producing an accurate result. Each participant plays a vital role in the success of their team.
learning outcomes
iBuild is a unifying experience with strong outcomes focusing on the importance of language, feedback and creating a step by step project strategy. iBuild allows participants to explore different ways of communication: virtual, face to face, verbal and non-verbal. The artificial barriers in the game not only offer a chance to have fun; they also emphasise fundamental principles in exchanging information. The learning outcomes are not limited to improving internal communication and adjusting to the new ways of working; they can also be reflective of best practice in customer relationship management.

It’s not the picture that counts, it’s the people in it!
how it works
Picture Perfect is a fun remote team building activity in which participants race to recreate a wide variety of photographs in their own home using only the costumes and props they have available to them. The end results are often hilarious if not, in fact, Picture Perfect.
Delegates are split into teams. Each team is given the same task, to recreate as many of the photos we give them in the allotted time. Points are scored for every photo recreated, no matter how “picture perfect” it is. Teams also score points for their creativity, their sense of humour and their attention to detail. During our finale screening, individuals will vote for their favourite photo and the winning team will be announced. Prizes can be arranged at your request.
learning outcomes
Picture Perfect is a collaborative team experience that encourages delegates to work as a team, to help each other with ideas and solutions. They must get creative and utilise the tools at their disposal in the most creative way possible. Delegates will need access to Zoom or similar and an internet connection.

Teams dress up and take headshots to combine in a mystery photo
how it works
On arrival at the conference, each delegate has their photograph taken against a range of coloured backgrounds. During the conference all the imagery is processed on our computer system to create a spectacular closing programme that stars the delegates themselves. To a dramatic music track they start to see images of themselves on the big screen. First we see a fast moving sequence of individual faces, then a montage of four faces, then sixteen, then sixty-four. As our view pans back, and the pace quickens, we see more and more faces until there are simply too many to count. The camera view moves back further until we see that the images, now multiplied many times over, have together created the company logo or conference theme message.
learning outcomes
In the Picture is a spectacular three-minute conference climax that celebrates what makes your company special and recognises the contribution your people make to its success. In the Picture reinforces to individuals that they have a role to play in the company. It emphasises that each individual matters and that together the individuals make up the company culture and are a living representation of the brand.

Have fun while giving with Go Team – the ultimate CSR team building event.
how it works
Using a tablet and the Go Team app, teams view checkpoints to select a giving project. The unique Go Team ‘follow arrow’ guides teams to their chosen waypoint. On arrival participants work together to complete GPS-triggered challenges, including questions, cryptic clues, photographic criteria and timed tasks. Success leads to impacting the chosen ‘giving project’. The team then moves onto another destination and another challenge.
Updates, feedback and scores are kept in real-time as teams progress through their amazing race of giving. Back at home base, each team is monitored and can receive bonus missions at key points in their adventure which can give to an overall project. The Go Team creative platform caters to all abilities and terrain types. Go Team participants can be challenged to take on bustling cities, rough paths, wooded areas or even bodies of water.
Applications for Go Team – Go Give are boundless – employee engagement, staff training, product launches, marketing and promotions, orientations, or gathering feedback. See more of your conference location, explore specific learning outcomes, have fun and energise your team while impacting lives around the planet.

Race Around the World - Festive

Teams discover festive facts from around the world as they race through the night delivering presents.
how it works
Participants connect in an online breakout room and elect a ‘Santa’ while the others take on the role of Elves in the game app. The objective is to virtually race through the night delivering toys to children in as many countries as possible before dawn breaks. Teams complete festive themed challenges to earn carrots that keep their reindeer flying. The Elves can see the challenges but can’t input the answers. The Santas can input answers and take photos but don’t know the challenges until guided by the Elves. A bonus crate of carrots awaits the team who delivers the ideal set of toys. A countdown clock on each of the six continent stages maintains the pace. Final scores can be converted to support a selected charity.
learning outcomes
‘Race Around the World – Festive Edition’ allows remote workers to break out from siloed roles, interact with colleagues and bond on an informal level. The team start by planning despite a lot of unknowns and adopt an agile approach as the game unfolds. An enquiring mind, creative thinking and keen investigative skills are required to gather the information and to co-ordinate actions to solve challenges. The game design encourages all participants to engage in active listening and clear, concise communication; ensuring participants sharpen their online communication skills. Team members bond over a shared objective and find enjoyment while escaping routine on a virtual trip around the world with a festive theme.
