Case Study: Dojo Company-Wide Scavenger Hunt

Creators Summit | Protein Studios, East London | 400 Participants

The Brief

As part of Dojo’s annual Creators Summit, Big Smoke Events was asked to design a large-scale team bonding experience for 400 employees. The goal was to celebrate the company, bring the entire team together and create a shared experience that felt both meaningful and fun.

With many attendees having recently joined Dojo or having worked remotely, the event also needed to encourage genuine connections – giving colleagues the chance to meet in person for the very first time.

The Solution

Working closely with Dojo, we created a fully personalised Scavenger Hunt seamlessly integrated into the summit programme.

All 400 attendees were organised into 40 teams during a high-energy briefing, before setting off on a 90-minute challenge across East London, starting from Protein Studios. We designed 24 bespoke challenges, each celebrating Dojo’s company values and encouraging collaboration, creativity and problem-solving.

Teams submitted photos and videos as they completed each challenge, capturing everything from clue-solving to spontaneous moments – including one unforgettable encounter with Jimmy Carr, spotted by one lucky team along the way.

To bring the experience full circle, we produced a five-minute highlights video, shown when teams returned to the venue. The montage showcased the energy of the afternoon, the teamwork on display, and the joy of getting people out of the office – and out of their usual silos.

The Result

The Scavenger Hunt was a huge success, delivering exactly what Dojo had hoped for. The event created an environment where new connections were formed, teamwork flourished and lasting memories were made.

By combining thoughtful personalisation with a scalable, expertly delivered format, the experience brought the entire company together in a way that felt effortless, engaging and genuinely fun.

What Dojo Said

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*“We worked with Francesca and Ade at Big Smoke to run a scavenger hunt for 400 people at our annual Summit. They are highly skilled at what they do and I felt completely at ease in their hands.

Planning events is time-consuming and challenging, and this particular event was a smash hit! Everyone loved the activity, especially the opportunity to meet people outside their day-to-day teams. I would definitely recommend Big Smoke for any corporate event. We had so much fun – thank you so much!”*
