Corporate event ideas for companies – indoor, outdoor and large groups

Usually 3–8 hours. Many of our formats can be flexibly adapted.

For every outdoor excursion, there is an indoor alternative or a weatherproof replacement module.

Our formats work for groups ranging from 6 to over 3,000 participants.

Yes – many formats can be expanded in a hybrid manner or carried out in parallel at several locations.

The price depends on the size of the group, duration and format. You will receive a personalised quote after a brief discussion.

That depends entirely on your goals. The following criteria may be helpful in making your selection:

• Provider experience – the larger the group and the more complex the event, the more experience the provider should have
• Price – in most cases, the cost of the programme is significantly lower than the participants’ working time, which in turn means that the most important thing is to achieve the goals you have set for the company outing. It is better to spend a few extra pounds for good quality.
• Support staff – make sure that the group is led by qualified staff; many providers (unfortunately) work with barely trained assistants.
• Good advice – most company outing organisers rarely plan such events, so it makes sense to seek good advice.
• Reviews, sustainability, accessibility, flexibility…

There are various reasons for this, which we would like to explain briefly.

• Raft building has the major disadvantage of being very weather-dependent and tied to a location. And, to be honest, a raft trip is only really fun on a river, which severely limits the choice of venue – especially as permits are becoming harder to obtain. We have also had participants who could not swim and were effectively excluded from the event.
• Soapbox racing is, in our opinion, only interesting if there is a real race at the end. However, there is hardly any suitable terrain available to hire, and only one person can drive at a time. There is also a significant risk of injury in a real race. If the soapbox cars are only pushed, it is no fun and the race becomes a pure construction project with a static plan. When it comes to building something together creatively, Chain Reaction XXL is far more entertaining for the teams.
• Geocaching is simply an antiquated form of the Smart Team Challenge. It offers far fewer variations in the team tasks and is therefore no longer up to date.

All formats that do not need a fixed outdoor area: “Through the Hotel” uses the existing rooms of your venue, Cake Factory and rocket car construction work at tables, and Chain Reaction Compact mainly needs space and material. An indoor company outing is therefore not a fallback for rainy days, but a format in its own right – especially in the winter months and for sites without outdoor space.

If you want more than a shared day: an overnight stay adds the evening as a second, informal level – that is where the conversations happen for which there is no time during the day. It is particularly useful for groups from several sites and for teams that still have to find their footing. What to bear in mind is described on our page team building with an overnight stay.

A company outing rarely becomes funny through the programme item alone, but because colleagues experience each other in unfamiliar roles. Formats with a visible result and small mishaps along the way work well: the Team Olympics with their quirky disciplines, rocket car construction, where something rarely works on the first attempt, or the Cake Factory. The only important thing is that nobody is made a laughing stock – humour comes from the shared experience, not at the expense of individuals.
