The Ultimate Team Building Experiences

The BIG Picture creating art through teamwork

Imagine a highly interactive team-building experience where your team can learn, bond and grow while creating something enduring. In this exercise participants are challenged to recreate a famous work of art by Dali, Da Vinci, Kandinsky, Matisse, Miro, Picasso, Van Gogh or another piece of your choice.

Once divided into smaller groups each will be given a set of brushes, paints, canvases and sections of the whole image. All participants must communicate and work together to ensure that, when placed together, the canvases resemble a complete and accurate copy of the original painting. Our facilitators will work with the teams to give guidance and support.

The climax comes when the whole picture is revealed to the entire team for the first time since, during the activity, teams are not allowed to put all of the pieces together. This means there is a great sense of anticipation before the artwork is unveiled and, at the end of the event, the team can take away the pieces, which can then be hung as a lasting reminder of the team’s synergy.

The Enigma Challenge problem solving through teamwork

The Enigma Challenge is a unique and modern approach to the development of individuals and teams within the business environment. The event combines a wide variety of tasks and mental challenges which need to be solved throughout the day. The teams work together to achieve a common goal, tracking down the Enigma Code, within a tight time scale.

At first glance Enigma appears to be a competitive team building event – but there is a catch! An interactive twist which means no team can win without an element of co-operation. It is therefore extremely versatile and can be used in a number of ways. At the most basic level it is simply a highly enjoyable team building exercise that encourages team spirit and enhances communication. At the other extreme it is a vehicle that illustrates many work issues, particularly those associated with negative competition, silo mentality, and potentially destructive departmental or hierarchical rivalries.

Although Enigma involves a combination of both indoor and outdoor activities it is not a particularly strenuous event making it suitable for teams of all abilities.

Commercial Break lights, camera..... teamwork!

Filmmaking is the ultimate teamwork. We offer a uniquely hands on approach, allowing the team to script, storyboard, shoot and edit their film with full technical support. This gives people the opportunity to take creative risks in a controlled environment, since they manage all elements including soundtrack and titles.

During pre-production a short script and storyboard are developed. Roles within the movie crew are then defined and allocated. Each team member undertakes something completely new to them, which creates a level of uncertainty. This will develop a reliance on other team members to support them in achieving their roles and responsibilities.

Filming and post-production will overlap to fully develop communication skills within the team and allow time for all to view the movie at the final de-briefing session. Team members will each receive a DVD of their film, along with our own edit of the total experience. This means that any learning outcomes can be taken into the workplace.

Murder Mystery Evening time for team play

Our Murder Mysteries are excellent at the end of a team building exercise, or simply as a form of either a lunch or evening entertainment.

There are no professional actors grabbing the limelight and the focus is where it should be – on your team. We do, however, provide two host characters to co-ordinate your evening. Everyone is sent an invitation letter and guest list prior to the event. This will include character information and tips about costume or any props each role might need.

A Murder Mystery Event runs for about three and a half hours and usually takes place over dinner. There are a number of available storylines to choose from including ‘Murder in the East’, ‘Death by the Nile’, and ‘What the Butler Knew’ although each event will be tailored to your individual objectives.

Guests can form alliances, blackmail each other, steal items and money and maybe even try to kill one another. Along the way they try to solve a number of mysteries using a range of items. They may also have various abilities to help them uncover secrets and achieve their goals.
