Outdoor Team Building Ideas

Outdoor team building events are a great way to get your team together, outside in the fresh air. Getting the team out of the office can make a big difference to productivity and motivation in the workplace. Whether it’s rain or shine, there isn’t much that beats a little competitive competition.

A majority of outdoor team building events stimulate the main functions of team performance such as communication, sharing ideas, leadership, trust and unity. The most important component to a successful outdoor experience is that teams have FUN! And we can promise you that there will be no one that will be complaining.

Top 3 Tips for Planning your Outdoor Team Building Activity

Whether this is your first or tenth time organising an outdoor team building event for your group, it can seem like there’s never enough time to plan everything the way you want it to be. Below is our quick tips to planning your next outdoor event.

1. Select the best day and time

Whilst outdoor team building can be run all day every day, there are a few factors to consider. Inflatable events such as It’s A Knockout and Crystal Challenge are of course best displayed in the daytime, after all you’d want to see where you’re going! There are some events that are more suited towards the latter end of the day, such as the Survival Island where you will be able to fire light.

Having completed thousands of team building events over the years, we’ve hosted at all times of the day. We always find that after a long day of presentations that teams can often be tired and ready to go home, so incorporating a day on its own for the event, or an afternoon session is often preferred.

2. Choose an event that everyone will enjoy

There is often the assumption that outdoor team building events are just physical, but that is a misconception. Whilst we do love our physical inflatables such as It’s A Knockout and Totally Wipedout, if you’re looking for something a little more chilled where teams can dip in and out of then Quintessentially English is the one for you.

Our all time classic and most popular has to be Crystal Challenge and the feedback says so too. If you’re looking for something out of the box, then why not take part in our wacky Soap Box Derby. Build, design and race against one another to become the next Lewis Hamilton.

Our expert & experienced team will happily advise which events will work best for your group to ensure you get maximum participation and involvement out of them.

3. Don’t plan teams in advance

This is one of the biggest questions we get asked for outdoor team building.  Is it better for people to be in teams with people they know and are comfortable with, or randomise them?  All of our events will instantly engage people with the theme and experience whether they know each other or not.  It’s the one of the exact purposes of team building, to get people to know each other.

Our guide on how to organise a virtual team building event

We’ve taken our most popular conventional teambuilding events and adapted them to be run in a safe virtual environment.  People from all over the world can come together, take part and enjoy themselves without the fear of social distancing rules.

All events are hosted by a fun, upbeat compere, who will run the show, keep everyone entertained and engaged, and make the entire experience slick, upbeat and engaging.

Live hosts – all virtual team events are hosted by a live compere / host who will welcome everyone and run the experience from start to finish.  A live host is far more upbeat and interactive than any pre recorded session.  It also means the experience is slick and hassle free for the organiser and anyone taking part.

Are people in teams for virtual events?  If so how many?  Teams – some virtual events work with everyone in the same virtual arena.  These tend to be the likes of our food and drink events where the focus is on the experts who are guiding you through the different elements of the event.  Others use virtual breakout rooms where people start all together in the main arena where we welcome everyone and explain the experience and rules.  We then automatically divide people into virtual breakout rooms in teams of 3-5 where they play against each other in fun competition.  We then bring everyone back together at the end in the same arena for the results and announcement of the winners.  For example our virtual cooking events and virtual cocktail making are run with everyone together, as are our gameshow style events such as Master of the Tasks.  Events such as our virtual escape room, virtual murder mystery and virtual horse racing work with teams playing in fun competition in mini breakout rooms.

Some events cater for different group sizes.  Our app based events and games can cater for up to 250 people in one game, but multiples can be run at the same time which allows the event to run into the 1000’s.  We also have specialist formats where unlimited numbers of people can play at the same time.  Some events are better suited to smaller groups where a more community feel is required.  These include our amazing I’m working from Home Get me Outta Here.

The most common platform for virtual events is Zoom, given it’s popularity and functionality.  Zoom has very user friendly functionality for most of our events, including the use of a high volume of breakout rooms.  We can also run on many other platforms preferred by different companies.  Virtual events can be run on the likes of Microsoft Teams, WEBEX and Google Meet.  We are always happy to demo events on different platforms to give you the comfort and security of how they work.

For most events the answer is no.  The only time we need peoples details is when we’re sending out packs to people in advance.  These tend to be our food and drink events and some of our gameshow experiences.  All details received are fully GDPR compliant.  We don’t store anyone’s information post event.  For the majority of our other events, you don’t need to send us anything.  We simply send you an event pack in advance via email with everything you need to know.  You just need to forward that on to everyone taking part.

Absolutely not.  Our teams have a wealth of experience in running and delivering virtual team events.  We will guide you through the different options and recommend the best style of event for your group and organisation.  Once you’ve chosen your event, our event management team kick in and make everything hassle free for you.  The service is designed for minimum work from your side as the organiser.  We want you to enjoy this as much as everyone else.  You will have a dedicated project manager who will arrange every aspect of your event.  They will also send you everything you need in advance to send to anyone taking part.

100% they are!  We’ve taken everything we know from over 14 years experience running team building events for over 60% of the FTSE 100 and adapted the right events to be fully virtual interactive team experiences.  We beta test all the different experiences in advance with our own teams and sometimes our clients to get the right level of feedback and make the right adaptations to ensure each event really hits the mark.

One thing we’re always very conscious of is the amount of video calls the world is hosting at the moment.  Each and every one of our virtual experiences take this into consideration.  The design, function, pace and hosts ensure the event doesn’t just feel like another Zoom session.  Our specialist team will work closely with you to recommend the best style of event for your group.  Whether it’s a hands on creative experience or a laughter packed virtual gameshow.  The proofs in the pudding.  Simply read our Feefo reviews to see what our clients say.

In lots of circumstances we can run demo events in advance so you can get a real feel for how the different experiences work.  Alternatively we’re always happy to jump on any live call or Zoom session to talk through all the different styles of events so you can really get to understand how they work and what would best fit your team.

We know the feeling…After nearly a year of video rather than face to face contact, the last thing people want is ‘another Zoom meeting’.  To combat this all our virtual team building events involve huge levels of participation.  A lot of them also include surprise packs that everyone receives in the post.  Each experience is very different to a normal Zoom session.  You’ll notice the difference as soon as you login!

6 Good Reasons to Host A Virtual Kick Off Event

Pink Piggy Bank

Cost Effective Packages

Understandably budgets may not be what they were in the past for conventional team building. HOWEVER, our virtual team experiences can be a lot more cost effective than conventional events.  Without the need to hire a static venue, and the cost of travel and logistics, you can still hold an amazing fun experience for your teams for a fraction of the cost.  There might even be something left in the pot for some beers & wine in the post!

Virtual Christmas Parties DJ Santa

Interactive & Engaging

Let’s face it, we’re all a bit Zoomed out.  Our virtual team events allow people to relax, step away from work content, engage with each other and interact with colleagues.  All of our events purposely steer away from normal video conferencing formats.  The activities, games and experiences are all very upbeat, interactive and engaging.  Fun and laughter is the key ingredient, which the feedback from all the virtual team events we’ve run, has proved in abundance.

Virtual Christmas Parties Lady cheering

Stay Safe – Have Fun

With all the regulations in place it’s difficult for companies to keep staff motivated and maintain positive teamwork.  By hosting a virtual team building experience you will ensure the safety of your staff & teams, whilst still allowing them to switch off, relax and take part in a fun social group experience.

There’s no masks required here!

Involve Friends or Family 

A lot of our virtual team events are designed to include the option of people involving their friends or family.  Obviously we have to stick to the rule of 6, but a lot of companies are family orientated so we have designed a series of games, events, and experiences that involve children of all ages, partners, or friends.  It can often add a great deal of comfort and satisfaction to see your company plan something that benefits your whole family.

With a new year, new visions, new strategies and new targets companies need to ensure their staff are on board and motivated for the year ahead.  We all thought it would be over by now, but we’re charging on as best we all can.  Quarter 1 of 2023 will be another year of change, with a light at the end of the tunnel.  It’s also the time to get allay the January blues, keep teams and people motivated, and ensure they maintain the teamworking skills such as communication, planning, lateral thinking, and the sharing of ideas and information that’s always helped them in the past, and done right virtually, can continue to help as things start to get back to normal.

Have Fun & Connect With Each Other

Fun, engagement and teamwork has always been and always will be a big part of business and social agendas for companies & teams.  People are the biggest asset to any organisations.  Maintaining positive momentum, and the requirements for people to be working as teams is ever more important given the remote situations we’re all in.  All of our virtual team activities allow people to step away from the feeling of Zoom content, and pivot into interactive scenarios where they can work, connected, communicate and play.  It’s an essential ingredient, especially at the moment, which when done right, will make an amazing difference to the performance of people and teams.

How To Organise A Virtual Kick Off Event

A guide on how virtual team events work

Virtual Christmas Party Virtual Reality

How to organise a 2023 virtual kick off event

Virtual team building events come in many different formats.  Choosing the right style of event for your team is critical to get the most fun and engagement from the experience.  For nearly all companies across the world 2023 will be the first year they have ever organised a virtual team event or activity.  It’s a leap of faith for everyone, so make sure to speak to our friendly team who will find our about your people and suggest the best style of experience for the group and culture.

Remember, not one size fits all.  For example a finance team may well enjoy a very different style of experience to a competitive sales team.

Virtual Christmas Party Planner

4 steps to organising a virtual team event

There’s 4 simple steps to organising your event:

1- Speak to an experienced member of our team to talk about the nature of your company, the culture of your people & what style of previous events have worked best in the past.

2 – We’ll then recommend and send you a selection of options for you to take away and share with colleagues

3 – Once you’ve decided what you think will work best, share your thoughts and we’ll give you our honest advise as to what we think will be the best event.

4 – Once you’ve chosen your preferred experience and date, our project management team will take care of the rest.  We’ll send you everything you need in advance by email to forward to all participants and be on hand all the way in advance to support you and answer any questions.

Virtual Christmas Party Host

Virtual hosts

All our virtual events are presented by a virtual host / compere.  The hosts are live, rather than pre recorded.  Their role is to be the main face of your entire experience.  As soon as everyone logs in, our host will welcome you all to the session and guide you through the event.  There are different styles of hosts for different style of events.  For example:

Cookery Events – All our virtual cookery events are hosted by Michelin Star trained chefs.  They will be the main lead, and also the main chef’s interacting with you throughout the experience of demos and hands on cooking.

Cocktail Making – Again, live professional hosts, but this time our world class bar tender mixologists.  As soon as you log into this session they kick off with an amazing demonstration of flaring skills that would put Tom Cruise to shame.

Virtual App Based Games – These include the likes of our virtual escape rooms, virtual murder mystery and virtual around the world.  Our hosts welcome everyone, explain the nature of the game & the rules, then split everyone off into mini virtual breakout rooms where they go head to head in fun competition.  As they play our hosts dip in and out the different rooms to give commentary and updates on the scores.

Virtual Quizzes & Game Shows – This is where we up the ante with the level of host.  For these virtual Christmas events, the host runs the entire show, including all the different rounds.  We have different levels of host, all with a very fun comedic approach.  We also use celebrity hosts at different levels with upcoming events being hosted by the likes of Vernon Kay.

Virtual Christmas Party Invite

Pre event information 

Planning a virtual team building event can be a nerve racking experience for the organiser.  Our team will hold your hand through the entire experience, making it hassle free and easy for you to enjoy the event as much as everyone else.

In advance we send you two events packs.  One with all the details on the overall experience, and one as a participant pack to send on to everyone taking part.  With everyone’s busy lives, the participant packs are purposely simple, with just one or two links to click to enter our arena.  Simply log in, and we do the rest from there,

Virtual Christmas Party Present

Posted packs

A lot of virtual team events require packs to be posted to participants in the post.  For our virtual cookery experiences, guests receive a lovely box of ingredients plus a chefs hat and apron.  For virtual cocktail making everyone receives an exciting kit containing all the required alcohol, mixers, syrups, fruits, mixing equipment and glassware.  This is theirs to keep.

For our virtual House Party we send prop packs in advance with all kinds of random objects, all used for the different challenges and games.

Virtual Christmas Party People

How many people can a virtual kick off event run for?

There’s no real limit to the number of people that can take part in a virtual team activity, but some events lend themselves better than others to different numbers.  For smaller more intimate numbers where you can easily see the other players on screen then our virtual gameshow style events work well such as Master of the Tasks.

For large group virtual events, the app based experiences can run for any size group from 4 upwards.  Some versions have the capacity to comfortably deal with numbers into the 1000’s.

Virtual Team Building Ideas, Activities & Events in 2023

The BEST 60 Virtual Team Building Events & Activities for Companies & Teams

With companies in the full flow of business, strategies and targets for 2023, it’s inevitable that the world of virtual meetings and events will continue to be the platform of choice.  But how do you keep individuals and teams motivated, connected and driven as we roll into a new year with a positive vision of the future.

To help we’ve put together our list of the best 60 virtual team building events and virtual team experiences which can dovetail with any business session to create fun interactive interventions where your staff can come together, connect, communicate, share ideas, plan, creative and use their innovation in a fun way, all targeted towards teamwork and performance in a virtual world.

With lots to choose from, here’s the nations favourite top virtual team building events:

How do virtual team building events work? 

We’ve taken our most popular conventional teambuilding events and adapted them to be run in a safe virtual environment.  People from all over the world can come together, take part and enjoy themselves without the fear of social distancing rules.

All events are hosted by a fun, upbeat compere, who will run the show, keep everyone entertained and engaged, and make the entire experience slick, upbeat and engaging.

Are Virtual Events Hosted Live or Pre Recorded?

Live hosts – all virtual team events are hosted by a live compere / host who will welcome everyone and run the experience from start to finish.  A live host is far more upbeat and interactive than any pre recorded session.  It also means the experience is slick and hassle free for the organiser and anyone taking part.

Are virtual team events run with small teams or big groups?

Are people in teams for virtual events?  If so how many?  Teams – some virtual events work with everyone in the same virtual arena.  These tend to be the likes of our food and drink events where the focus is on the experts who are guiding you through the different elements of the event.  Others use virtual breakout rooms where people start all together in the main arena where we welcome everyone and explain the experience and rules.  We then automatically divide people into virtual breakout rooms in teams of 3-5 where they play against each other in fun competition.  We then bring everyone back together at the end in the same arena for the results and announcement of the winners.  For example our virtual cooking events and virtual cocktail making are run with everyone together, as are our gameshow style events such as Master of the Tasks.  Events such as our virtual escape room, virtual murder mystery and virtual horse racing work with teams playing in fun competition in mini breakout rooms.

How many people can take part in a virtual team building event?

Some events cater for different group sizes.  Our app based events and games can cater for up to 250 people in one game, but multiples can be run at the same time which allows the event to run into the 1000’s.  We also have specialist formats where unlimited numbers of people can play at the same time.  Some events are better suited to smaller groups where a more community feel is required.  These include our amazing I’m working from Home Get me Outta Here.

What platforms are virtual team experiences hosted on?  Is it just Zoom?

The most common platform for virtual events is Zoom, given it’s popularity and functionality.  Zoom has very user friendly functionality for most of our events, including the use of a high volume of breakout rooms.  We can also run on many other platforms preferred by different companies.  Virtual events can be run on the likes of Microsoft Teams, WEBEX and Google Meet.  We are always happy to demo events on different platforms to give you the comfort and security of how they work.

Do I need to provide you with everyone's details in advance for a virtual event? 

For most events the answer is no.  The only time we need peoples details is when we’re sending out packs to people in advance.  These tend to be our food and drink events and some of our gameshow experiences.  All details received are fully GDPR compliant.  We don’t store anyone’s information post event.  For the majority of our other events, you don’t need to send us anything.  We simply send you an event pack in advance via email with everything you need to know.  You just need to forward that on to everyone taking part.

Are virtual team building activities hard to organise?  This is the first time I've done one.

Absolutely not.  Our teams have a wealth of experience in running and delivering virtual team events.  We will guide you through the different options and recommend the best style of event for your group and organisation.  Once you’ve chosen your event, our event management team kick in and make everything hassle free for you.  The service is designed for minimum work from your side as the organiser.  We want you to enjoy this as much as everyone else.  You will have a dedicated project manager who will arrange every aspect of your event.  They will also send you everything you need in advance to send to anyone taking part.

Are virtual team building events fun?

100% they are!  We’ve taken everything we know from over 14 years experience running team building events for over 60% of the FTSE 100 and adapted the right events to be fully virtual interactive team experiences.  We beta test all the different experiences in advance with our own teams and sometimes our clients to get the right level of feedback and make the right adaptations to ensure each event really hits the mark.

One thing we’re always very conscious of is the amount of video calls the world is hosting at the moment.  Each and every one of our virtual experiences take this into consideration.  The design, function, pace and hosts ensure the event doesn’t just feel like another Zoom session.  Our specialist team will work closely with you to recommend the best style of event for your group.  Whether it’s a hands on creative experience or a laughter packed virtual gameshow.  The proofs in the pudding.  Simply read our Feefo reviews to see what our clients say.

Can we experience a demo virtual event in advance of booking?

In lots of circumstances we can run demo events in advance so you can get a real feel for how the different experiences work.  Alternatively we’re always happy to jump on any live call or Zoom session to talk through all the different styles of events so you can really get to understand how they work and what would best fit your team.

What if my team are Zoomed Out?

We know the feeling…After nearly a year of video rather than face to face contact, the last thing people want is ‘another Zoom meeting’.  To combat this all our virtual team building events for large groups involve huge levels of participation.  A lot of them also include surprise packs that everyone receives in the post.  Each experience is very different to a normal Zoom session.  You’ll notice the difference as soon as you login!

Who Moved my Cheese is an upbeat, motivating and insightful virtual learning and development workshop tailored around change and change management.  It’s based on a world famous book that’s a fun story of four different characters who live in a maze and spend their life looking for cheese.  The cheese is a metaphor for what you aspire for in your life, for example a well paid job, money, material possessions, life satisfaction or a loving relationship.  The maze represents where you hunt for what you want for example your employment organisation, family circle or spectrum of friends.

Throughout the story the four characters have to deal with unprecedented change in the hunt for cheese.  Only one of four positively reacts to change, and writes how on the wall of success.  This one character continues to flourish.  The others are left scratching their heads wondering what they did wrong for not adapting to the circumstances.  This workshop takes you on a journey of creating your own wall of guidance and how we can all react to and adapt to change to empower our lives bit at work and at home.  An especially pertinent message in our current world.

Cocktail Making – Again, live professional hosts, but this time our world class bar tender mixologists.  As soon as you log into this session they kick off with an amazing demonstration of flaring skills that would put Tom Cruise to shame.

Virtual App Based Games – These include the likes of our virtual escape rooms, virtual murder mystery and virtual around the world.  Our hosts welcome everyone, explain the nature of the game & the rules, then split everyone off into mini virtual breakout rooms where they go head to head in fun competition.  As they play our hosts dip in and out the different rooms to give commentary and updates on the scores.

Virtual Quizzes & Game Shows – This is where we up the ante with the level of host.  For these virtual Christmas events, the host runs the entire show, including all the different rounds.  We have different levels of host, all with a very fun comedic approach.  We also use celebrity hosts at different levels with upcoming events being hosted by the likes of Vernon Kay.

Pre event information 

Planning a virtual team building event can be a nerve racking experience for the organiser.  Our team will hold your hand through the entire experience, making it hassle free and easy for you to enjoy the event as much as everyone else.

In advance we send you two events packs.  One with all the details on the overall experience, and one as a participant pack to send on to everyone taking part.  With everyone’s busy lives, the participant packs are purposely simple, with just one or two links to click to enter our arena.  Simply log in, and we do the rest from there,

Virtual Christmas Party Present

Posted packs

A lot of virtual team events require packs to be posted to participants in the post.  For our virtual cookery experiences, guests receive a lovely box of ingredients plus a chefs hat and apron.  For virtual cocktail making everyone receives an exciting kit containing all the required alcohol, mixers, syrups, fruits, mixing equipment and glassware.  This is theirs to keep.

For our virtual House Party we send prop packs in advance with all kinds of random objects, all used for the different challenges and games.

Virtual Christmas Party People

How many people can a virtual team building event run for?

There’s no real limit to the number of people that can take part in a virtual team activity, but some events lend themselves better than others to different numbers.  For smaller more intimate numbers where you can easily see the other players on screen then our virtual gameshow style events work well such as Master of the Tasks.

For large group virtual events, the app based experiences can run for any size group from 4 upwards.  Some versions have the capacity to comfortably deal with numbers into the 1000’s.

9. Masterpiece Challenge

The Masterpiece challenge is perfect for bringing out any of the natural artists and creatives in your team, combining artistic skill with mini challenges that play to everyone’s individual strengths.

In teams of 6 to 8 people, you must create a piece of art. You will compete against one another in several challenges to win artistic supplies, which you will then use to add to your own piece of artwork. By the end of the day, everyone’s artwork will be put together into a large collaborative artwork that you can hang in your office as a commemoration of the day.

10. Soap Box Derby

Named after the famous 60’s TV show, Soap Box Derby isn’t just for the petrol-heads in your team, it’s for everyone.

Each team will have their own karts, which they will need to work together in order to design it, budget it, build it and then pitch it to our board of investors to get funding. With each of the four team challenges incorporating some skills appliable in both a creative and corporate environment. The day culminates in Pole Position, a final head-to-head race against one another’s karts to get to the finish line and win the day for your team.
