What’s new? What’s trending, you ask? We are excited to share an interactive virtual team building experience that has been grabbing the attention of our clients across North America. If you want something fresh, new and FUN then you need to try out the Ultimate Games experience and the brand NEW Space Escape - two virtual team building activities that bring energy, excitement, and connection to your virtual events for teams.

THE ULTIMATE GAMES PACKAGE

‍

‍

This online team building game is like stepping into game heaven. Over the course of 60mins (option to extend to 90 or 120 minutes), groups will play a number of challenges where they will have opportunities to earn points for their team. This fun filled virtual teamwork game has something for everyone, taking players through a variety of challenges, from Trivia, and Puzzles, to Fact Match, Pictionary, and lip synching.

We also love that this game is played in its own exclusive platform, designed to enhance the virtual team building experience. This is how it works:

Your guests receive a link to this exclusive games platform
The platform is branded with your logo and colours
Once inside, guests are sent into their designated game room and placed on a team (option to pre-assign teams is available. Maximum 5 teams of 5 per game room)
Each room has a live host who keeps guests engaged, laughing and having fun — a great example of fun virtual team building activities that promote collaboration.
At the end of the game, the teams are ranked and every room has a winning team — perfect for company team building activities or team building games for work.

NEW! SPACE ESCAPE

‍

Using the same platform as The Ultimate Games Package detailed above, we now have a brand new escape virtual escape room team building challenge. This experience is a bit different in that players move around rooms solving challenges at their own pace. With that said, all of their success contributes to their teams performance so they still have to have that team mentality.

The ability to move from room to room allows guests to interact with all 25 people in their designated spaceship — ideal for virtual team building activities for large groups. Players are brought back together for the last 15 minutes of the event to complete the final puzzles together.

‍

‍

During the hour game, groups of up to 100 players progress through a private, automated experience (broken down into groups of 25). Challenges range from visual puzzles, word games, riddles, numeric problems, and an assortment of other mental trials designed to challenge analytic and lateral thinking. Your team will receive directions from the ship’s on board Artificial Intelligence, and a live host will provide assistance if your team needs it.

EXPLORE: Choose rooms of the spaceship to enter, and unlock more along the way.
DISCOVER: Hidden cyphers and mysterious clues await you to uncover their shrouded meaning.
UNITE: Though far from Earth you’re never alone with your trusty crew. You’ll have to work together to complete the challenges and save the ship.‍
PREVAIL: Should you manage to save the day and thwart alien villainy, you’ll gain more than a safe voyage — you’ll create lasting memories through this virtual team building activity designed to strengthen bonds and spark laughter. The memories made triumphing over evil will persist for a galactic millenia.
