What is a Company Away Day?
A company away day, also known as a corporate day out or team away day, allows employees to create an interactive experience, whereby employees leave their usual work space, and take part in a series of activities – either as part of a team building exercise, or a chance to have a little bit of fun.
Some companies plan a company away day to link wider company initiatives or simply to reward staff members for their time and effort. But most of all, it’s about creating an experience that is memorable for everyone and leaves them wanting more!
What different types of Company Away Days is there?
There are quite a few variations and types of corporate away days in London. A team away day, doesn’t ultimately mean you need to side away from company values or business meetings. We often combine our company aways days with business meetings, or corporate presentations.
Conference / Meetings:
Sometimes businesses have conference or corporate meetings planned in the morning, often offsite from their usual working environment – especially if you have different departments from around the UK and Europe coming together.

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.

Are there many different types of remote team building events?
The simple answer is yes! Just like normal team building events, our virtual team activities cater for different types of groups and people. If you’re looking for an app-based virtual event, then Virtual Around the World and Virtual Polar Rescue could be the ones for you. Our zoom-based quizzes are also a popular favourite amongst some teams, whereas some prefer a virtual cooking event. There are so many to choose from, that there is one to suit everyone.
What are the benefits of Virtual Team Building Activities?
There are so many benefits to virtual team building events, but below are our top 5:
1) Hassle-free
All our team building events aim to be hassle free, so we adopted this when producing our live events. Like our live events, you will receive a dedicated Project Manager who will deal with everything behind the scenes, so you don’t have to!
2) Boosts Motivation
When working remotely or on a hybrid model, everyone needs a little lift to boost themselves. The social aspect of our virtual events brings everyone back together and provides a little bit of fun and laughter outside of a normal working day!
3) Increases Productivity
When employees work from home, they can often lack a clear work direction which can lead to lower productivity. Virtual team building activities allow managers and leaders to explain their goals, often through the chosen event.
4) Stops Zoom Fatigue
This one may sound a little weird, but Zoom fatigue is often caused by doing the same things in the same format, repeatedly. Implementing a virtual event into the mix can actually help improve this, as it will get participants out of their norm.
5) Combats Loneliness & Isolation
When transitioning from a busy work environment to working from home, especially when you live alone, this can be a big shock to the system. Virtual events, therefore bring back that socialisation element, especially if your job does not entail zoom calls on a day-to-day basis.

Last year many companies were forced to send their workforce home to work remotely. The switch to virtual working was a big challenge for everyone. The things that defined our working day changed. Planned face-to-face meetings were non-existent, conversations at the coffee machine were no more and the thought of only seeing your colleagues on Zoom soon became a reality.
In 2020 employee engagement levels decreased globally by two percent to 20% in 2020. Team building events and activities have never been as important as they are now. They are the perfect way to bring everyone back together be that virtually or physically.
To help we’ve put together our top indoor, outdoor, and virtual events to kickstart 2023 off. These have all been created to help you to bring your teams back together as we try to put the pandemic behind us.

5 Key Takeaways Squid Game Has Taught Us About Team Building
If you haven’t watched Squid Game on Netflix yet, then this is your warning that there may be spoilers ahead!
Squid Game has already become one of Netflix’s biggest successes when it comes to online streaming. A total of 142 million “member households watched the series within the first month of it releasing, smashing the Bridgerton Season 1 record of 82 million viewers. The series follows 456 debt-ridden players as they all compete against one another in a selection of well-known children’s games for a chance to win a cash prize of 45.6 billion Won (£28m).
Squid Game provides not only a great TV show to get your teeth into, but an excellent insight into the foundations that are needed for successful teamwork to which we will explore below.
Image Source – Squid Game Netflix
Red Light, Green Light
Game Rules: In the original children’s game Red Light, Green Light, also known as ‘Statues’ or ‘What Time Is It, Mr Fox?’ in the UK, one player is selected to face the wall, whilst the others try to cross the finish line. However, if the play facing the wall turns around and shouts “red light”, the players must stop immediately and stay still. If they are caught moving, then they are eliminated.
A key lesson learnt throughout this game is that patience and listening is a virtue. Whilst the 5-minute timer counts down, what seems a relatively easy game ends in disaster for over half of the players. The first few to set off showed no patience by not assessing what was ahead of them, rushing into the game resulting in their fatality. Sheer panic amongst the players then resulted in a high number of deaths. The players that did not panic and were patient at the start remained in the game.
Player number #218 (Sang-Woo) learns quickly that the winning formula is to move cautiously behind the person in front of you, and to keep moving on each green light. Player #218 then relays this information to #456, who has frozen in fear, which motivated him to get up and move forwards. In this scenario #218 was acting as the leader and offered valid solutions to player #456.
Dyfrig Jenkins, a Leadership Coach states, “Businesses rely on activity, this includes leaders like you being proactive about things that are preventing you from moving forward. Why is it that we are taught to walk and talk, read and write but developing listening skills is rarely something our parents teach us? Listening to hear and understand doesn’t feature in education curricula and its rarely a skill we are assessed for at job interviews! Most of us are fortunate to have ears that work, but few of us use them to our full advantage, especially when we are working under pressure…”
Honeycomb Challenge
Game Rules: Individuals select either an Umbrella, Star, Triangle or Circle shape. They are then given a tin which contains a dalgona (Korean candy made with melted sugar and baking soda) and a needle. The objective of the game is to cut out the shape without breaking it within 10 minutes.
Player #456 Gi-Hun drew the short straw by choosing the umbrella shape, which consisted of many bends. While under time restraint, he eventually figures out that licking the back of the dalgona will help to release it, after a drop of his swear fell on to the Dalgona and made it transparent.
The key takeaway learnt here was to implement patience, but also to think outside the box, or the tin in this case! Although contestants were only given a needle, creative thinking played a key role in some of the players making it through to the next round. Player #456 shared his newfound knowledge with the other players, which ultimately allowed them to also get through the next round.
As Dalai Lama said once, “Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.”
There are many reasons why organisations, or individuals for that matter, need to embrace creativity and innovation today. The pace of global change is accelerating, the number of websites has passed 1 billion globally, the ways of doing business and creating and selling products and services has changed. After all, who would have thought a few years ago, Virgin would be building spaceships, Google would be moving into the self-drive cars market that we’d be living through a global pandemic or that world leaders would meet to slow down the increasing effects of climate change? Creativity and innovation are key to our survival and success.
Tug of War
Game Rules: This is probably one of the most known games in the series. Tug of war sees the players split into teams, each chained to an end of a braided rope. The aim of the game is to supress the other team by pulling the rope at the same time, dragging them off the high platform. Consequently, ending in their death.
Going into the game, player #456’s team was shown to be weaker, with a noticeable strength and weight difference. Player #001 used his age, knowledge, and wisdom to his advantage to create a winning strategy by undertaking the leadership role. “All you need is a good strategy, combined with good teamwork”. If you haven’t learnt already, good teamwork requires a good leader. A leader needs to be someone strong, not so much physically as Squid Game shows, but mentally to drive the team forward and maintain positivity.
It’s about how you arrange your team, with each player holding an important role in helping to secure the win. Having a strategy like this is critical. A diverse workforce made up of different skill sets is integral to a successful team.
When one strategy didn’t work, the team communicated with one another and adapted a new plan. This lesson can be applied to the workplace. As Bob Buckman once said, “Don’t be afraid to share what you know, because you know it better than anyone else!”.
Dyfrig states, “In our volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, our understanding of normal continues to be challenged. Leaders and their teams must find a sense of courage, empathy, and trust.Leadership determines how teams feel and work in times of crisis, your team will remember how they were led and how they worked together – or not. They are and will be concerned about the future and how much their leaders committed to finding the best solutions for and with them.”
Glass Stepping Stone Bridge
Game Rules: Hosted in a gigantic room, players are given the opportunity to choose between 1 and 16. Players are then instructed to cross the glass bridge in number order. The stepping stones before you are made from one of two types of glass, one tempered glass and the other normal glass. However, the normal glass will break even if just one person steps on it.
During the game, players were making their choices on luck, and not assessing the panels. This game saw players looking upon the mistakes that the first players made to move them forward. A key lesson learnt here is to observe your surroundings and apply these to move forward.
The player in 12th position announced that he worked for a glass manufacturer for over 30 years and could tell the difference saying, “If you look at tempered glass from an angle under the light, you can see faint stain marks”. However, sadly he lost his live when player #218 lost patience in his skill set and pushed him off the bridge.
Working together as a team consists of a range of specialisms and knowledge. The success of one area of ateam or a business relies on many others completing their own tasks well. Working in a group can be both rewarding but also challenging. There are often different levels of knowledge and skills, and people behave differently too. Working in high performing teams makes it easier to develop great working partnerships, overcome challenges and hit targets, but most importantly, everyone needs to feel trusted, valued and a valuable part of the collective.

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
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!
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.
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.
Look Ahead & Boost Morale
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.
Make Your Virtual Kick Off Event More Social
Include a hamper, party pack or gift delivered to everyone's homes in advance.
Make it feel like a Party
The addition of a party pack, hamper of gift, delivered to everyones homes prior to your event, can make all the difference to a virtual party. Not only does it make for a lovely present for everyone in advance, it adds a great social aspect to the experience.
We can start your session early so everyone can have some social time, crack open a beer, pour a nice glass of wine, and enjoy some sumptuous snacks.
Lot’s to Choose From
Our variety of hampers and party packs make sure there’s something for everyone. The nature of the gift really takes away the feel of work, and with the hand picked selection of food and drink you will always get lots of chat and interaction on all the different flavours.
Our selection ranges from simple pub snacks with beers, wines, prosecco and snacks, to more luxury hampers with more variety and themes such as Wine & Cheese, Gin Lovers or Prosecco Indulgence.

How To Organise A Virtual Kick Off Event
A guide on how virtual team events work
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.
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 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.
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,
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.
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.

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!

6 Good Reasons to Host A Virtual Team Building Event
Cost Effective Packages
Understandably budgets may not be what they were in the past for conventional team building. It’s been a tough and challenging time for a lot of companies over the past couple of years, and 2023 is a tough time to be thinking about spending money. 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!
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.
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.
Look Ahead & Boost Morale
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 team working 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.

A guide on how virtual team events work
How to organise a virtual team building 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. 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.
4 steps to organising a virtual team building 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 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.
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,
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.
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.
