Traditional Team Building Activities
If you’ve been in the corporate leadership game for a while, then you probably expect to hear mild groans as soon as you mention an upcoming team building activity.
Your employees have to be there. They do their best to slap a smile on their face during trust falls, improv games and scavenger hunts. But are they actually excited to be there? And do the activities even bond your team?
In most cases, the answer is no. So, why not take a new approach? Plan a totally unique event that’s so darn fun they’ll forget they’re supposed to be rolling their eyes.
1. VR Really Feels Like Play.
Most team building games don’t feel much like games at all. Put simply, they are not how your staff would choose to spend their time outside of work.
The same is not at all true for virtual reality experiences. If you’re used to hearing things like “Ok now you have to go,” then get ready to hear stuff like, “No, it’s my turn” at your VR team building event. Instead of pushing people to participate, you’ll be apologizing that it’s already over.
2. Teamwork is the Only Way to Win
All the popular VR team building activities we offer emphasize communication, collaboration and creative problem-solving. Here are just a few that we think your team will love:
- Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes – This unusual game tasks a team with defusing a virtual ticking time bomb. Only one team member wearing the VR headset will be able to see and touch the bomb. The others will need to find the relevant defusing instructions in the manual. Effective communication through teamwork is vital to defuse the bomb before it explodes.
- Doodle VR – It’s like Pictionary for the 21st century. The cool thing is that you can draw 3D objects and manipulate them to help your team guess the right answer. Use their preset cards or choose to create your own.
- Escape Rooms – Our mobile escape rooms are incredibly fun bonding activities for small teams (up to 4 at a time) that look and feel very real. We have partnered with Ubisoft Escape Games to provide two 60 minute escape rooms. One is set in the world of Ancient Egypt and the other in Ancient Greece. Two or four players can attempt to escape together. Transitioning to other team members is as easy as passing the virtual reality headset to the next person.
3. Team Building Games That Inspire Healthy Competition
As you well know, a little old-fashioned competition can be beneficial in the workplace. The VR experiences that we’ll bring to you will inspire your team to work hard to beat their colleagues at fun challenges and games. This is the sort of competition that truly bonds people together. It gives them the confidence and satisfaction that come with mastering new skills.
4. A Unique & Memorable Experience
It is very likely that most of your staff have never experienced virtual reality like this before. You can bring in cutting edge, exciting technology into your workplace and give your team a new experience that they’ll remember for a long time to come. Most of our recurring events come from other teams in the office who saw it for themselves or head it was a blast from another colleague.
