Welcome & Indoor Briefing \u2013 The venue becomes the playing field<\/h3>

To begin with, the BITOU facilitator welcomes all participants and explains how the challenge will work. The teams learn how to use the tablet, how to find and scan QR codes, and how to collect points.<\/p>\n

This is where the first element of the game comes into play: the participants may be familiar with the venue as a conference centre, hotel or office block \u2013 but suddenly it becomes a playing field. Corridors, adjoining rooms, foyers and communal areas take on a new significance. Now it\u2019s all about paying close attention, searching cleverly and quickly developing a strategy as a team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The search begins \u2013 discover QR codes and unlock tasks<\/h3>

Once the game has started, the teams make their way through the pre-defined areas of the venue. Unlike in outdoor versions, they do not head to specific GPS coordinates, but actively search for hidden QR codes. These are placed around the venue and must be scanned using a tablet to unlock the relevant task.<\/p>\n

Behind the QR codes lie a variety of task formats: quiz questions, puzzles, creative photo and video missions, or small team tasks. This creates a blend of exploration, critical thinking and spontaneous creativity. The teams must decide where to look, which tasks to tackle first and how to make the best use of their time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Team phase \u2013 strategy, communication and shared ambition<\/h3>

During the challenge, it quickly becomes clear that simply setting off isn\u2019t enough. The teams must coordinate, assign roles and work together to work out how to score as many points as possible. Who will search? Who will scan? Who will read the task? Who will think creatively? Who will keep an eye on the time?<\/p>\n

This creates a special dynamic, particularly in an indoor setting. Distances are shorter, encounters with other teams are more frequent, and the competitive spirit is palpable. At the same time, BITOU remains available throughout the event and can provide support with the game structure, send messages or help with any questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Final & Prize-giving Ceremony \u2013 When the best moments come to life<\/h3>

Once the game time is up, all teams gather again at the agreed meeting point. The results are analysed, the winning team is announced, and the highlights of the challenge are reviewed together.<\/p>\n

The photos and videos taken during the event really bring the finale to life. The teams get to see how other groups tackled the tasks, what creative ideas emerged and which situations provoked the most laughter. It is precisely this shared review that makes the Indoor Challenge more than just a game \u2013 it becomes an experience that people will still be talking about long after the event is over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Classification within the BITOU 4-level system<\/h2>\n

The Smart Indoor Challenge is part of Level 1 \u2013 Classic Team Event<\/a> \u2013 of the BITOU 4-Level System<\/a>. This level is all about bringing teams together, generating energy and creating a shared experience.<\/p>\n

This format is particularly suitable when a team needs a sense of light-heartedness, dynamism and connection \u2013 but needs to remain within the existing venue. It is not about in-depth reflection, but about energising the team, having fun and sharing moments of success.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, initial patterns may begin to emerge: Who provides direction? Who thinks strategically? Who contributes creative ideas? Who motivates the team? If these dynamics are to be explored in greater depth later on, Level 2<\/a> or Level 3<\/a> formats can be used to build on them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The benefits of the Smart Indoor Challenge at a glance:<\/h2>\n

\u2714 <\/span>Stimulation despite the indoor setting: <\/strong>Participants get moving without the event having to be moved outdoors. This provides a fresh burst of energy, particularly after long conference sessions.<\/p>\n

\u2714 <\/span>Not affected by the weather and reliable for planning purposes:<\/strong> Rain, cold weather or uncertain weather forecasts are no obstacle. The event remains flexible and can take place directly at the existing venue.<\/p>\n

\u2714 <\/span>The venue is being reimagined:<\/strong> Corridors, foyers and adjoining rooms suddenly become part of the performance. This creates a different perspective on the venue and adds a sense of dynamism to the space.<\/p>\n

\u2714 <\/span>Promotes team communication and strategy:<\/strong> The teams need to coordinate their efforts, prioritise tasks and decide together how best to use their time.<\/p>\n

\u2714 <\/span>Lots of fun thanks to creative tasks:<\/strong> Photo and video sessions bring humour, a light-hearted atmosphere and plenty of shared memories to the event.<\/p>\n

\u2714 <\/span>Ideal for cross-functional teams:<\/strong> Teams can be deliberately organised in such a way that people who have little contact with one another in their day-to-day work are brought together. This fosters communication across departments.<\/p>\n

\u2714 <\/span>Customisable:<\/strong> Company-related topics, your own missions or location-based content can be incorporated to ensure the challenge is even more tailored to the occasion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\u201cThe Smart Indoor Challenge was the perfect solution for our conference day. We didn\u2019t have to leave the venue, yet we still got some exercise, enjoyed some competition and had loads of fun. It was particularly lovely that we suddenly saw our conference hotel in a completely different light, and at the end we were all laughing at the creative photos and videos.\u201d<\/p>\n
