When the first warm rays of sunshine herald the start of spring, it's not just nature that awakens to new life. Your team also longs for fresh air and shared experiences. This is the ideal time to boost motivation and team spirit with targeted team-building events.
Creative concepts for team events
The best team building events combine fun, challenge and real added value for everyday working life. They are far more than just a nice day out - they are strategic investments in your team.
Successful team events take different personality types into account: One may appreciate a sporting challenge, while another thrives on cooking together. Still others discover their hidden talents by solving tricky puzzles. The trick is to choose activities that offer every team member an opportunity to participate and shine.
Innovative team events deliberately break with the routine of everyday working life and create space for new experiences. They not only promote collaboration, but also allow your employees to discover skills that rarely come to light in everyday office life. At the same time, they offer the opportunity to see colleagues in a different light - away from meetings and emails.
Here are four inspiring concepts that strike the perfect balance between entertainment and team building and will inspire your team:
Group experience in the tunnel - the ‘Hagerbach Challenge’
The "Hagerbach Challenge" offers a unique underground adventure for up to 60 people. In groups of three to ten, accompanied by a tunnel-savvy guide, teams complete eight different stations. What makes it special: each station requires different strengths – from physical activity and dexterity to puzzles and more – so every team member can contribute to the team’s success.
This extraordinary world in the Hagerbach Test Gallery, located in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tectonic Arena Sardona, offers exciting activities all year round. From informative tours and spectacular blasting demonstrations to targeted team-building programs – there's something for every group. Combined with outdoor activities in the Heidiland region, the challenge becomes a holistic experience in both summer and winter.
Fun | Culture | Pleasure - The ‘Voyage Culinaire’
Imagine your team embarking on a diverse culinary journey. The "Voyage Culinaire" combines a guided city tour with a 3-course meal at selected restaurants and interactive team activities. The highlight: the group is mixed at each program stop – breaking down conventional communication barriers and creating new connections.
The "Gastro Team Challenge" includes activities such as a wine aroma course, proper table setting with etiquette tips, and a herb and spice challenge. A short wine presentation by the "Table Knight" completes the experience. This unique combination of city tour, culinary delights, and team-building activities creates lasting memories and strengthens team spirit in an entertaining way.
The program lasts between 3.5 and 4.5 hours and is available in Basel, Bern, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Winterthur, Zug, and Zurich.
Outdoor Escape Game – "Blackout" with hacking function
In Switzerland’s first outdoor escape game with a multiplayer feature, your team becomes digital hackers. In the optional VS mode, teams compete directly against each other and can hack opponents to steal energy and virtual dollars. This innovative blend of GPS geocaching and live escape game creates an exciting setting for your event.
The highlight: the game can be played in any city at any location. The route is individually designed based on customer preferences and can even include stops for an aperitif or other events. It’s ideal for large corporate events with several hundred participants competing head-to-head.
In Zurich and Geneva, "Blackout" is offered as a 120-minute outdoor escape room experience. Throughout Switzerland, the duration and route can be customized.
Interactive Swiss Games - tradition meets modernity
The "Swiss Olympics" combine digital escape game elements with traditional Swiss disciplines. Equipped with a tablet and a mission briefing, teams navigate through challenging missions and physical group tasks. From milking cows and apple target throwing to a cheese wheel obstacle course – typical Swiss activities are transformed into exciting competitions.
The game concept eliminates waiting times, as groups complete the stations in different orders. After 100 minutes, the awards ceremony takes place. At Predigerplatz 22 in Zurich, storage facilities and various catering options are available – from drinks and finger food to authentic Swiss apéro platters. As a highlight, a grill bike can even be booked for an unforgettable barbecue experience.
Success factors for sustainable team building effects
For a team-building event to truly bear fruit, you should consider the following success factors:
- Relevance to daily work: The required skills should be transferable to everyday tasks
- Appropriate level of challenge: Neither overload nor boredom leads to success
- Reflection and transfer: Take time to reflect on the experience together and capture key insights
- Voluntariness and inclusion: Take into account different abilities and needs
- Follow-up: A post-event follow-up ensures the long-term integration of the experience
Spring is the perfect season to explore new paths with your team. Let these concepts inspire you and create unforgettable experiences that will sustainably improve your collaboration.
