TEAMBUILDING

Client: Bankers
Origin: Austria
Participants: Company employees
Number: 160 people

Locations:

Outdoor, all over Vienna

Challenge:

Creating a team building programme for 4 hours, which should take place in Vienna and be new and fascinating for all participants who were coming from Vienna. This outdoor event was one of a few events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the bank.

Realization:

We were creating a treasure hunt programme under the theme of the film “Romancing the Stone”. In cooperation with our graphic designer we produced “puzzles“ which were sent out via mail to the employees, starting 1,5 months before the event ... All in all 4 of this “pre- event information“ were sent out, each of them giving other kinds of info (date, meeting point, dress code, name of the team to which the participants belong ...) but never telling the content of this afternoon.

• Employess were „registered“ at the location to have an overview of the amount of people
• As everybody knew already the name of his/her team – teams gathered and we had a total of 4 teams à 40 people.
• The treasure hunt was a mix of sports activities (e.g. rowing on the danube river, flying fox competition, etc ...), cultural challenges (facts and figures from Vienna in combination with some company-related questions), creativity (building sand castles at one of the biggest “sand city places“ in downtown Vienna, and orientation (finding the way to the next “challenge station“). At each station teams could gather points in creativity, speed, team character, knowledge ...
• The well-deserved dinner party took place at a trendy restaurant/disco in downtown Vienna, where the winning ceremony was held and a live vand in costumes of the 70ies was playing the hits from the last “50 summers“. Guests enjoyed cocktails, delicious food & music.
