A kick-off brings everyone together to share information, understand the direction and get started as a group. We add an activity to your agenda that fits the goal, the team and the time you have.
A kick-off marks the beginning of a business year, a project or a new phase of work. Strategy and goals belong in the business part of the programme. A suitable activity complements that part: the team gets stuck in together and marks the start as a group.
Depending on your agenda, short team challenges, cooperative tasks, creative activities or a longer shared session all work well. If collaboration is the main point, our team-building events give you a choice of activities suited to that aim. For something more compact, the overview of our activities to complement your main programme will point you the right way.
What matters most: the aim of the kick-off, group size, venue, time available and how lively you want the programme to be. We shape the activity so it supports the business content rather than competing with it.
These are the six activities teams choose most often at teamio for a kick-off. They differ in whether the group creates something together, competes against each other or lets the evening wind down sociably.
from €49For a sociable evening: roulette, poker, blackjack and craps with play money, with croupiers explaining the rules. Possible in the office, a conference hotel or an event venue.
from €35Several teams build sections that come together in one shared chain reaction at the end.
from €49Each artist collective designs a canvas on your theme, such as the company motto, and in the end everything forms one big picture. That gives the start a visible result. Nobody needs artistic talent.
from €49When the start should create something shared: each film crew shoots its short film with an iPad and props, followed by a film festival with nominations and an award ceremony. We provide the iPads, editing software and props.
from €59When the kick-off should start with a competition: three challenges with an N64, a Carrera track and remote-controlled karts, where everyone finds their place. The format works indoors and outdoors.
from €59For a kick-off with lots of people taking part: five freely chosen challenges, everyone starts at once, and a grand awards ceremony rounds it off. Indoors and outdoors are both possible.
28 team events
from €59Wheelbarrow course, hay bale run, milking contest and horseshoe throwing: teams collect points in proper farmyard challenges. The team with the most points takes the golden pitchfork home.
from €49Sandcastle building, a water relay and coconut boules: in small groups you go barefoot from station to station, to a soundtrack of summer hits. We bring the sun cream – safety first!
from €69Build your own cajóns from high-quality kits, then play rhythms in several parts as a team, guided by drum coaches. You can take your box drum home.
from €49Las Vegas without the risk: at authentic tables you bet, bluff and sweat it out with play money, playing roulette, poker, craps and blackjack.
from €59Golf without a golf course: clubs in hand, you head over hill and dale, with team tasks such as the golf ball pipeline and ladder golf waiting along the way. In the end, the best team handicap wins.
from €39All the atmosphere of the pub, darts included: teams play 301 through a preliminary round and a knockout stage for the title of company darts champion, while a cheeky hosting team comments on every throw.
from €55Fly drones, send robotic balls racing each other or steer racing cars using an iPad: in this tournament, teams compete using VR, robotics and AI. You choose the stations.
from €35Every team builds its own section of a giant chain reaction out of dominoes, LEGO and Kapla planks. After the countdown, down it all goes – in the meeting room, the conference hotel or the office.
from €79Design a flag, christen your boat, start paddling: the teams race each other in dragon boats while a drummer sets the beat. The winning team gets Crémant, and the flags go on to decorate the canteen.
from €49Everyone gets a real djembe, and our drum coaches lead you step by step from a body percussion warm-up to the big final arrangement. Nobody needs any musical experience.
from €49Sherwood Forest by torchlight: after a short briefing from our trainers, even beginners pick up a longbow and take on the other teams.
from €69From wooden planks, hemp ropes, securing straps and barrels, the teams build their own raft, hoist the pirate flag and put on a show to christen it, then take to the water for the regatta.
from €55Backpack, walkie-talkie and GPS device: teams hunt for hidden caches, solve puzzles based on their surroundings and tackle challenges together along the way, whether through the undergrowth or the urban jungle.
from €59Teams line up along six rods inside inflatable human table football arenas and play a tournament, with commentators, football hits and Mexican waves for company. The winners walk away with the golden cup.
from €49Build company cars, pull off an emergency operation in the Emergency Room or raise a tower: you put your course together from over 20 tasks. And the only way to get it done is together.
from €49iPad, walkie-talkie and a virtual city map: teams hunt for points, complete tasks and answer questions about your company. Fifteen minutes before the end, the live scores disappear – and that’s when it gets really tense.
from €49Your own table football championship: every team founds a club, name and all, then battles through the group stage and knockout rounds while commentators guide you through the tournament like a Saturday-night football show.
from €79Your very own table football table is built from a kit, then christened in a tournament. The fastest team to finish building gets to play at home in the opening match, and the tables can be donated afterwards.
from €49Write the script, pick costumes and false beards, shoot, edit: every film crew makes its own short film with an iPad and a collection of props. At the end, all the films are screened at your very own film festival, nominations included.
from €35As a new Europol task force, the teams hunt a master thief: armed with an agent’s case, a puzzle box and a postcard under UV light, they solve puzzles against the clock – and must tread carefully, because their adversary is hot on their heels.
from €59A large CRT television with an N64, a Carrera track and remote-controlled Mario Karts: across three challenges, teams go head to head in races that mix retro nostalgia with full-throttle action. The winning team gets to pop the corks.
from €79The rhythm package brings a cajón kit to each home office, and everyone builds it live on the video call with step-by-step guidance. Then it’s time to drum along to classic songs on the livestream.
from €39Quizmaster, wireless buzzers and company-specific questions: teams guess their way through short rounds and funny video challenges. Points are paid out in sweets, but anyone who nibbles spoils their appetite for victory.
from €39A delicate touch and clever tactics: the teams take turns sliding their curling stones towards the target circles, on grass, asphalt or office carpet. One well-placed stone knocks the opposing stones out of the lane.
from €129Sightseeing on Segways: after a safety briefing and a test ride, you set off through town in your helmet, with puzzles, a cone course and tasks you have to dismount for along the way. At the finish, everyone gets a Segway diploma.
from €59Spanners first, then speed: every team builds its soapbox car from a kit, gives it a look all its own and shows it off to see how it scores on the applause meter. Then it’s down the ramp for qualifying and a relay race, and a bubbly shower waits at the end.
from €49In the “Tower of Power”, a team builds a tower using a special crane rig, and the other tasks only work out when everyone pulls together. Every group has its own trainer and plans its strategy before trying it out.
from €49You choose three challenges, for example lawn curling, XXL Jenga, CrossBoccia, ladder golf or a drone race. All teams start at the same time at different stations, and the scoring is done digitally via the event app.
Live. Digital. Interactive. That is the DNA of our online team events. Studio-quality production, professional direction and multiple cameras – that is teamio TV.
Our experience boxes make every online team event special – from party containers to gourmet editions, delivered throughout Europe.
We commit to planting a tree for every event we run and supporting its growth. We have been doing so since 2016.
We adapt the activity to fit the timing and content of your presentations, workshops and other parts of the kick-off.
After the business part of the programme, a guided task gets everyone working together and gives the group a clear starting point.
We choose activities to suit your group and what you want to achieve, from cooperative and reflective to active and competitive.
The venue, season and time available determine how your kick-off can be run practically and reliably.
Send us your goal, agenda, date, venue and group size. We’ll recommend an activity that helps your team get started together.
Answers to your questions about kick-offs: what they mean, ideas, the agenda, venues and planning for the start of a business year or project.
A kick-off event marks the shared beginning of a business year, a project or a new phase of work. It often combines sharing information and understanding the goals with conversation or a shared activity.
The meeting focuses on the topics to discuss, roles and next steps. An event complements that work with a planned activity to mark the start together. Both can fit into the same agenda.
Depending on your goal, short team challenges, a circuit of tasks to tackle together, creative building tasks, quizzes or outdoor activities are all options. The activity should suit the energy level of the rest of your programme and the time available.
Ideally, close to the actual start of the business year, project or phase of work. What matters is confirming what needs to be covered and who will take part in good time.
Both are possible. The choice depends on the season, the venue, the time available and how active you want it to be. For outdoor activities, there should be a plan for bad weather.
There are activities for small project teams and for larger company groups. The exact set-up depends on the number of participants, the space available, the number of stations and how much you want people to get involved.
Where the activity allows, questions, terms or individual tasks can reflect the occasion. Your company should, however, communicate the strategic content and binding objectives itself.
It helps to know the occasion and goal of the kick-off, the date, group size, venue, agenda, time available and the level of activity you want. That lets us narrow down the choice to what fits.
