Top Events to Bring Your Team Together
TLDR: From scavenger hunts and bingo challenges to cocktail-making, quizzes, wellness sessions and high-energy games, there are countless ways to bring teams together through fun, inclusive experiences. Partnering with an award-winning provider like Big Smoke Events ensures professionally run, memorable team-building events that boost morale, connection and collaboration.
Here are some great ideas to bring your team together – choose an award-winning team events provider (ah-hem – us) to provide you and your team with professional, smooth and memorable team building events.
Here’s some thoughts to get your ideas flowing;
1. Group Activity – Get together!
First up is The Big Smoke Scavenger Hunt – voted ‘The BEST Team Day Around ’by InStyle magazine, this is one of our most popular team events. And let us tell you why… It’s mega fun! The hunt is tailored to you and your team and is basically a race against the clock! You all compete in small teams to complete 30 challenges; these include solving clues, finding items, taking photos and videos which are all condescended into a highlight presentation shared to the whole team before crowning the Scavenger Hunt Winners!
This event is perfect for any team that enjoys some friendly competition; it’s outdoors, it’s a race and also, a fun way for any newbies to get to know everyone.
2. Encourage socialising
Another great way to get the team feeling relaxed and excited about the future is to organise a fun evening for the team to let their hair down. It’s no surprise that socialising helps improve our mental and emotional health, so a get-together is good for our mind and our soul! Sometimes this is easier being out of your usual day-to-day office space. We love SAMA Bankside for this type of get-together – they serve up great cocktails, have a delicious menu (British modern food with a Caribbean twist – yum!) and it’s in a central location.
Another great way to find cool collaborative spaces where you can have fun and host meetings is by using VenueScanner – once you start using this awesome venue search platform, there’s no going back!
3. Have a laugh
Brace yourself for a right laugh with our The Bingo Challenge Show – this twist on Bingo is such a fabulous way to get your teams interacting again and can be held at any office space or venue of your choice! You’ll need your eyes and ears on the prize for this one and we bet the whole office will be buzzing to get involved!
4. Who are ya
Who doesn’t love a good pub quiz? Get into teams, serve up the beers and make sure there’s nibbles a plenty and then we will top it all off by creating your very own Personalised Trivia Quiz. This is a great way for everyone to get to know new colleagues better and to find out things about old colleagues. It’s a right hoot!
5. Get creative
It’s always fun to drink cocktails and even more fun when you get to make them! So why not host a cocktail night in the office? Once you’ve wrapped up at 5 then welcome in the legends over at Mix & Match to host a memorable cocktail night. We bet this will be a winner!
6. Add some magic
Looking for an event with a difference? Book our Magic Bingo! Hosted by professional magicians, this is a totally unique, ‘never been seen before’ way to play a universally loved game, through the power of magic! 60 minutes of pure interactive magical entertainment for your teams – this is a fantastic way to start your event as it will keep your colleagues questioning and analysing into the night – a great conversation starter.
7. Get Active
It’s really important to stay active, so our Ping Pong Challenge Show is the perfect fusion of fitness and fun – this is another favourite event that we offer and it requires no ping pong experience which means,everyone and anyone can give it a go.
It’s hosted live by Ade Leigh from Ping Pong Fight Club, and features an action-packed and entertaining 45 minutes of fun ping pong challenges, trivia, music and tongue-in-cheek game show banter. We might be biased but this is honestly such a laugh and can be hosted indoor, outdoor or even remotely!
8. Healthy Competition
Take your team to the races without actually going to them thanks to our Horse Race unique game! This 1 hour event is hosted live or via Zoom by one of our team and is a fully soundtracked event with music, commentary, and awesome graphics. Simple, competitive, social, fun and with lots of strategy thrown in the mix!
9. Put Wellness First
Why not host a ‘Wellness Wednesday’ at the office? Kickstart your team’s day with some yoga, meditating and a healthy breakfast – this is a great way to set them up for the day and can have some really beneficial outcomes. So much so we bet you’ll want to make this a monthly event!
10. Boost morale
In the first week back in the office after the holidays, host a really yummy lunch and play this self-esteem boosting group activity: first, everyone writes their own name down on a piece of paper. Then the others must write underneath the name what they admire about the person This can be anything – from their personality to something they’ve managed to achieve, or how well they make a cup of tea! This little mood-boosting game will easily put a smile on your team’s face!
So there you have it, a little injection of fun to keep your team smiling. If you have any questions on any of our events or what we can offer you and the team, please get in touch – [email protected]
