Christmas Smart Team Challenge

Q: How does the Christmas Smart Team Challenge work?

The teams make their way through a designated area using tablets, heading to specific coordinates where they solve Christmas-themed quiz questions and puzzles, as well as completing photo and video challenges.

Q: Is the event taking place outdoors?

Yes, the Christmas Smart Team Challenge is essentially an outdoor event. The route could, for example, take participants through a town, around a conference venue or through a Christmas market.

Q: Can a Christmas market be included?

Yes. If it suits the venue, the route can be specifically planned to take in a Christmas market. Specific stalls or small voucher giveaways can also be incorporated by arrangement.

Q: What happens in bad weather?

Outdoor challenges are weather-dependent, but can be carried out in a wide range of weather conditions. In the event of safety risks or severe weather, we will work together to find a suitable alternative.

Q: What sort of tasks are there?

The tasks centre on Christmas, winter and international Christmas traditions. There are also creative photo and video challenges, as well as puzzles.

Q: Is this format suitable for international teams?

Yes. It is precisely because it involves questions about Christmas traditions from around the world that the challenge is particularly well suited to international groups.

The outdoor Christmas party with exercise, puzzles and team spirit

The scent of mulled wine in the air. Lights in the city.
And right in the middle of it all, teams working together to solve challenges, collect points and experience Christmas in an active way.

The result is an event that combines a festive atmosphere, competition and shared experiences. Ideal for companies looking to organise a Christmas party that’s active, relaxed and yet still special.

Event programme – Christmas spirit, strategy and shared moments of success

Welcome & Christmas Briefing – Kicking off the Challenge

To start with, the BITOU facilitator welcomes all participants and gets the group in the mood for the Christmas challenge. The teams are shown how the game works, how to use the tablet to find coordinates, complete tasks and collect points.

This is where the first sense of momentum builds: the participants form small teams, devise a strategy and get ready to explore the surroundings. It soon becomes clear that it is not automatically the team that walks the furthest that wins. What matters is which team chooses its tasks wisely, keeps an eye on the time and plans the best route as a team.

The Christmas trail begins – find the coordinates and complete the tasks

Once the race has started, the teams set off. On their tablets, they see various coordinates, each of which hides a task. There, they’ll find Christmas-themed quiz questions, puzzles, photo and video challenges, or small creative team tasks.

Much of the content centres on Christmas: customs, traditions, winter facts, international festive celebrations, gift-giving in other countries and Christmas curiosities. It is precisely this mix that ensures the challenge remains not only fun, but also full of surprises and variety.

Out and about as a team – the scent of mulled wine, ambition and joint decisions

During the challenge, the small team develops its own unique rhythm. The participants discuss answers, plan the next waypoint, take creative photos or videos, and decide together which tasks are really worth doing.

Depending on the location, the route may also take in a Christmas market. On request, specific stalls or stops can be incorporated – for example, with small vouchers for mulled wine, a snack or a special stop along the route.

In this way, the Christmas setting becomes not just a backdrop, but an active part of the event.

Return & Prize-giving Ceremony – The festive finale

At the end of the game, all teams gather at the agreed destination – for example, at the conference venue, in a restaurant or at another designated meeting point. There, the scores are tallied and the winning team is announced.

The event is brought to life by the photos and videos taken during the day. The group gets to see together just how creatively the teams tackled the tasks, which moments were particularly funny, and where the greatest ambition shone through. It is precisely this shared review that ensures the Christmas Smart Team Challenge doesn’t simply come to an end – but is remembered as a shared way to round off the year.

Classification within the BITOU 4-level system

The Christmas Smart Team Challenge falls under Level 1 – Classic Team Event of the BITOU 4-level system. This level is all about bringing teams together, generating positive energy and creating a shared experience.

The format is particularly suitable when a team wants to laugh together, get active and enjoy a special time together as the year draws to a close. It is not about intensive reflection or training, but about connection, physical activity and a shared sense of achievement.

Nevertheless, initial team dynamics may become apparent: Who takes the lead? Who thinks strategically? Who motivates the team? Who keeps an eye on the time? If these observations are to be explored in greater depth later on, they can be built upon using Level 2 or Level 3 formats.

The benefits of the Christmas Smart Team Challenge at a glance:

✔ An active Christmas party rather than just sitting around together: This format injects some energy into the end-of-year celebrations and ensures that teams share an experience together before the cosy part of the evening begins.

✔ Christmas spirit with a real sense of adventure Lights, a winter atmosphere, Christmas-themed questions and creative tasks bring the season to life – without the event feeling cheesy or contrived.

✔ Strengthens bonds within small teams: Interaction develops quickly in small groups. Participants plan together, discuss answers and share small moments of success with one another.

✔ Ideal after long conference or working days: Especially after spending a lot of time sitting down, the challenge provides a fresh burst of energy, some exercise and an active transition into the evening.

✔ Promotes strategy and teamwork: It’s not the number of checkpoints visited that determines victory, but the best strategy. Teams must prioritise, estimate time and make decisions together.

✔ Great fun thanks to photos and videos: The creative missions provide laughs, memories and a lively finale when the results are shared.

✔ Customisable to suit the location and occasion: The starting point, finish line, route, tasks and potential Christmas market stops can all be planned to suit the event.

✔ Well suited to international groups: As Christmas traditions from other countries can also be incorporated, this creates an inclusive and exciting experience for international teams.

What our customers say

Customer reviews

“We didn’t want this year’s Christmas party to be just about food and speeches again. The Christmas Smart Team Challenge was perfect for this: we were out and about, had a good laugh, solved puzzles together, and then headed straight into dinner in a really great mood.”
