The Brief

BioChek approached The Big Smoke Events looking for a special team-building experience to bring their global teams together at the end of a week-long annual conference.

With delegates attending from over 46 countries, many of whom had never met before and for whom English was not their first language, the brief was to create a fun, interactive and highly personalised experience that everyone could participate in.

The overarching objective was to give everyone an opportunity to connect with their colleagues and share great memories, long after the event.

The Solution

We proposed our Magic Bingo and Personalised Team Quiz Package to create a two-part experience combining the high energy and enthralling combination of live close up magic entertainment with a socially competitive and personalised team experience.

We transformed the conference space into a seated, cabaret-style experience designed to make every attendee feel fully engaged and entertained.

Magic Bingo

With over 70 BioChek colleagues taking part, we started strong with our Magic Bingo; an hour of live close-up magic, spellbinding illusions and playful interactive challenges set by host magician Laurence.

The aim of the game was to mark off the words on the bingo card with what was being seen or heard during the show, from classic magic-themed videos on the big screen to tricks and illusions being performed in front of them. Anyone completing a line of words was to shout “Abracadabra!”

In between rounds, Laurence kept the energy high with a series of hilarious and irreverent challenges for the group to get involved in, giving them the chance to win free squares in the middle of their cards and fast-track their way towards completing their line of words.

Laurence got everyone involved from the moment he took to the stage, encouraging his audience to laugh, cheer each other on and, most importantly, enjoy the show together as a group.

Personalised Team Quiz

The Personalised Team Quiz then brought everyone together for a second round of friendly social competition.

We incorporated a mix of fun facts about the company and the global team itself (information gathered prior by The Big Smoke Events sending through a short survey), ensuring the content felt personal, fun and inclusive, alongside entertaining music and general knowledge rounds. Some of the questions included facts about BioChek through to lighter-hearted topics such as some of the team’s greatest achievements.

This gave colleagues another opportunity to discover something new about each other, create some friendly BioChek banter and compete together as teams.

The Result

The combined Magic Bingo and Personalised Team Quiz was a huge success, delivering on the brief to bring together a global group of colleagues through a genuinely personalised and engaging experience.

Magic Bingo created a highly energetic and entertaining start, while the Personalised Team Quiz provided another great opportunity for colleagues to get together, laugh, compete and have fun as teams.

The client commented that Big Smoke had fully delivered on, and exceeded, the brief, creating an experience that not only gave everyone the opportunity to enjoy themselves, but also helped develop stronger relationships through laughter, interaction and teamwork.
