Team building comes into its own when you want to focus on how you work together as well as the shared experience. We’ll choose an activity with you that suits your team and the occasion.
A team-building event takes colleagues out of their usual routines and gives them a shared task. Depending on your starting point, the focus might be communication, dividing up roles, coordination or getting to know a new team. A single event won’t replace long-term team development, but it can give the team a shared starting point to build on.
Cooperative challenge courses, building projects, rallies or facilitated challenges let you experience teamwork first-hand. If you’re mainly looking for a shared experience rather than a structured focus on teamwork, explore our broader selection of team event ideas. For events that run whatever the weather, our overview of indoor team events has suitable activities.
To choose well, we need the group size, place and timeframe – but above all an honest description of your goal. From that we can work out how demanding the tasks should be and whether to include a short group debrief.
These are the six activities teams choose most often at teamio for team building. They differ in how the tasks are shared out: building, navigating or a tournament.
from €49When collaboration should be at the centre: each group plans its strategy, solves tasks with its trainer that only work together and reflects at the end. More than 20 modules to choose from, indoors or outdoors.
from €59Five challenges from a pool of modules test skill, strategy and brainpower, played in rotating teams. That way colleagues keep working together in new line-ups. An awards ceremony with a trophy or medals is available on request.
from €39A contest with no previous experience needed: longbows, four competition modes and balloon shooting as the finale. After the briefing and some practice shots, even beginners hit the target; protective equipment is included.
from €49Collaboration through navigation: teams follow a virtual city map, answer knowledge questions and solve creative photo and video challenges. Sturdy shoes are enough; we provide the iPads and walkie-talkies.
from €59First build together, then race together: each team designs its soapbox from kits and takes part in qualifying and a relay race. We provide the wooden kits and tools; no handwork skills needed.
from €69A building project with a race: teams build a raft from wooden boards, barrels and ropes, hoist the pirate flag and sail a regatta. You need a body of water and the ability to swim.
30 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 €39Longbows with no sights and no technical gadgetry, four ways to compete and a balloon-shooting finale: after a briefing and some warm-up shots, even beginners hit the bullseye. Every team gets its own protective gear.
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 €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 €49Steer DJI drones through an obstacle course (touching an obstacle adds a time penalty), guide Sphero balls using an iPad and build a drone even though only half the team can see the instructions.
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 €49Each artists’ collective paints its own canvas around your theme. Then the canvases come together as one large artwork for your company – with a bird’s-eye drone photo, if conditions allow.
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 €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.
from €49Two disciplines, one tournament: in disc golf the metal baskets have to be hit with as few throws as possible, while on the e-scooter course every second counts. Helmets and protective pads are compulsory.
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 choose the activity around your team’s situation and priorities – rather than giving every team the same standard programme.
Shared tasks give the team a chance to observe how they coordinate, take on roles and solve problems outside their usual working day.
Activity level, complexity and the amount of competition are matched to the group, the time available and your goal.
The event is guided. For suitable activities, a short debrief can help capture what you noticed during the shared task.
Tell us about your team, the occasion, your goal, group size and the time you have. We’ll recommend an activity whose tasks and level of challenge fit.
Answers about goals, activities, group size, facilitation and what a team-building event can realistically achieve.
At a team-building event, colleagues tackle shared tasks outside their usual work routine. Alongside the experience, an agreed focus such as getting to know each other, communication or collaboration takes centre stage.
A team event can primarily be a chance to show appreciation, break the routine and have fun together. Team building adds a deliberate focus on the team. Many activities combine both, but you should choose one that fits your real goal.
Options include cooperative challenge courses, building projects, rallies, team challenges and creative tasks. The right activity depends on which aspects of working together you want the team to observe and experience.
Team building can make sense for newly formed teams, after changes in personnel, or as a shared boost for established groups. If there are deep-seated conflicts, though, an event is no substitute for professional conflict resolution.
There are activities for smaller teams and larger groups. As the number of participants grows, the structure of the tasks, the number of stations and the opportunity to debrief together all change. We take these things into account when choosing.
Depending on the goal and the activity, it can be a short activity within your programme or a team activity lasting several hours. Allow enough time for the briefing, the task itself, changeovers and a possible debrief.
Yes. Whether it happens indoors or outdoors depends on the activity you want, the season, the venue and the activity level. Not every task suits both settings equally well.
Agree observable goals beforehand, such as active participation or working on a task together. A short follow-up chat can capture impressions. But lasting change can’t honestly be put down to a single event alone.
