General questions about teamio
Who is teamio?
We’re an event agency from Essen, putting on team experiences all over Germany. Whether it’s team building, a company outing, a summer party or a corporate party – we devise, plan and organise the whole event from start to finish. With years of experience and a team of experts who work well together, we make sure your event is one your team will remember.
How do I book a team event with you?
It’s easy: get in touch by phone, by email or through the contact form on our website. After an initial consultation, we put together a personalised proposal for you. Once you’ve decided on your team event, we handle all the planning and delivery – in constant contact with you, of course.
How quickly can you put on a team event?
We can also organise team events at short notice – in many cases within just a few days. The earlier you get in touch, the more dates and activities you can choose from. Thanks to our experience and established ways of working, we can often find something suitable for last-minute enquiries too.
How does planning a team event with you work?
Once you enquire, we discuss your goals, practical requirements and preferences, then suggest suitable events. After you choose, we handle all the planning and organisation – leaving you to sit back, relax and look forward to the event with your team.
What information do you need to prepare a personalised event proposal for me?
So that we can plan your event as well as possible, we need:
- The expected number of participants
- The activity you have in mind, or a rough idea
- Where it will take place, or your preferred venue
- The date and your preferred time frame
- Any special requests or requirements
What does a team event with you cost?
The cost depends on your group size, chosen activity and venue. Team events generally cost between €35 and €129 per person. You’ll find a guide price for each event on our website. For an exact price, we’re happy to prepare a personalised quote with no obligation.
Will there be any other costs?
We clearly agree all services with you in advance – there are no hidden costs. In addition to the team-building event itself, there are charges for event design and logistics, based on the work involved. Depending on the event, you can book optional extras such as prizes for the winners, technical equipment or a photo booth.
Can you also organise catering, transfers and hotels?
Yes – we’re happy to organise extras such as catering, transfers and overnight stays on request. Just tell us about your plans and preferences.
Can I become a teamio venue partner?
We’re always on the lookout for exciting venues for our team events and team-building events. If you have a suitable event venue and would like to work with us, we’d be glad to hear from you.
Can I apply to work at teamio?

Questions about our team events
What are the benefits of a team event for companies?
Team events bring teams closer together, improve communication and boost motivation in the team. They’re also a chance to show employees that you value them and encourage them to stay with the company long term. Investing in shared experiences pays off in a strong company culture.
What goals can a team event achieve?
Depending on how it’s designed, a team event can have different aims: team building, improving collaboration, boosting motivation, helping new employees settle in or simply sharing an experience. We always design your event around what you want to achieve.
What are the most popular team-building activities?
Our customers are especially keen on these:
- teamio 5-Kampf
- Live Escape Game
- Kickerbau event (building your own table football table)
- Casino Night

Can you design a team event specifically for us?
Yes – on request, we develop team events built around your company, your goals and your company culture. That gives your team a unique team-building experience.
What group sizes are your team events suited to?
We can adapt our team events to suit groups from around 20 to over 1,000 people. Together, we’ll find the right activity for your team size and goals.
We’re a small team – is a team event still worthwhile?
Smaller teams can book a team event with us too. Because our events are organised with groups in mind, the minimum size that makes economic sense is usually around 20 people. Do get in touch – we’ll find a solution that suits your team.
Can you also run very large team events with more than 1,000 people?
Yes, we can run team events for more than 1,000 participants. We pay particular attention to suitable venues, activities that work for large groups and smooth organisation. For events of this size, we recommend planning early.
How long does a team event usually last?
How long a team-building event lasts depends on the activity. Many last between 1.5 and 3 hours, but half-day and full-day events are possible too. We adapt the length to your needs.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Our team events have proved themselves in different weather conditions. When it rains, we use gazebos and optional rain ponchos so that your event can go ahead as planned. In poor weather conditions, we naturally offer suitable indoor alternatives.
In which cities do you offer team events?
We offer our team events across Germany – in cities including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne (Köln), Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf. We also run events at a place of your choice anywhere in Germany.
Can the events also take place at our company site?
Most of our activities can take place at your premises, provided there’s enough space. We’re happy to check whether your site is suitable. Just ask us.
We don’t have a venue yet – can you help?
We’d be happy to. Our extensive network includes event venues, conference hotels, restaurants and bars, and unusual places to hold events. Together, we’ll find a venue that suits your team event, goals and group size.
Are there suitable options for remote teams?
With our innovative online events, we make exciting team experiences possible worldwide – wherever your employees are. Take a look at our virtual team events for companies.
Can your events be integrated into existing conferences or supporting programmes?
Most of our activities are ideal for adding an interactive element to meetings, conferences or company parties. We’re happy to develop tailored solutions for your schedule and themes.
Are teamio events suitable for international teams?
Our event team are happy to host your event and support you throughout, in English – or in several languages. Getting every participant actively involved is a prerequisite for effective communication, prevents misunderstandings and keeps the team pulling together for the long term.
