Team Challenge
Work together. Compete together. Celebrate together.
Sixty minutes. One locked room. One team that has to talk to each other to get out. Team Challenge takes your people out of the office and puts them under the clock — then hands out the medals.
- 60 or 120 minutes
- Private team experience
- 8–40+ people

Talk. Laugh. Solve.
Nobody remembers the venue with the lukewarm platters. They remember the eight minutes where everyone was shouting numbers across a room and the lock finally clicked.
A reason to talk
People who normally email each other end up problem-solving shoulder to shoulder.
A reason to laugh
Pressure plus a ridiculous clue equals the story your team tells all year.
Something to solve
A shared goal with a hard deadline. Nothing bonds a team faster.
Everyone involved
No fitness, no trivia, no public speaking. Every personality finds a job to do.
A win worth claiming
Times on the board, awards handed out, bragging rights carried back to the office.
Zero hassle for you
One price, one time slot, one email. Your host runs the rest of the day.
Six things your team walks out with
Share information. Listen to ideas. Keep everyone in the loop — or run out of time.
Different people spot different clues. The room only opens when all of them land in one place.
Nobody solves it alone. The fastest teams are the ones who combine strengths early.
With multiple teams playing, the race is on and the room gets loud.
Celebrate the person who spotted the detail and the one who kept everyone calm.
Leave with a team photo and a story you'll still be repeating next week.
