Revitalising the Corporate Day-Out
TLDR: Ditch awkward, predictable office outings for a bespoke London Scavenger Hunt - a fun, team-building day that sparks real conversation, cross-team bonding, healthy competition, and lasting memories. Highly praised by clients from startups to large firms.
Corporate events are synonymous with organised fun. Everyone loves to hate them and, given the form they can take, for good reason. They’re somewhat reminiscent of Freshers’ Week: awkward conversations, bad jokes, uncomfortable social situations, and always thoroughly tedious. Whether it’s an office pub trip under the guise of Thirsty Thursdays, a group outing to the local pizza joint, or sober karaoke at 6pm, it’s painful to even think about how utterly atrocious most corporate events can be.
Therefore, we are urging you to PLEASE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. Hear us out.
Let’s rewind. At the end of the day, why do we do them? What’s the point of these corporate events? Here’s our take:
- Meet interesting people you don’t work with on an everyday basis.
- Build up a genuine rapport with your colleagues by stimulating interesting, friendly conversation that’s not about spreadsheets.
- Escape the office environment.
- Have oodles of fun.
What’s the correlation? Teamwork. All four make up the fundamentals of strong, lucrative teamwork.
At Big Smoke, we fully appreciate the overwhelmingly positive impact corporate events can have for your team and, consequently, your business. There’s no denying that if you like the people you work with, you’ll produce better work, so it’s crucial to get to know each other outside the office, at least occasionally.
So, here is our solution, our answer to that million-dollar question, our light-bulb moment: The Scavenger Hunt. Bring your business to the most enjoyable and entertaining corporate day out in London.
It ticks all the boxes. Meet new people, enjoy each other’s company, laugh, create a bit of healthy competition, whizz around the streets of London, and have an insanely fun time (see some photographic proof here).
What’s more, every Scavenger Hunt is an exclusive, bespoke experience tailored specifically to you and your business; we rack our brains and tweak our challenges to suit your company’s individual quirks. Trust us, this is a new, innovative, and unique way to host a corporate event that will subsequently do wonders for your work environment, providing long-lasting, shared memories for everyone who participates.
