Full throttle through three thrilling team challenges
Three thrilling Mario Kart challenges await you and your team on our race programme, each offering something different. In the first, a virtual time machine takes you back to the 90s: a huge CRT television? Warmed up and already flickering! An N64 console with four controllers and the Mario Kart cartridge? Plugged in and switched on! Two teams itching for a hard-fought duel? Just taking their seats on our gaming chairs! On the virtual tracks of this gaming classic, we’ll find out which team has what it takes to be the retro gaming champion.
The next challenge is every bit as nostalgic: a Carrera track was surely a fixture in many a teenage bedroom. Now it’s time to tap into that muscle memory from childhood. The teams start by working together, building their own Mario Kart Carrera track from separate pieces – loop included. Then it’s into an adrenaline-charged race, with the aim of completing as many laps as possible without crashing.
Finally, it’s time for our Mario Kart balloon hunt. For this one, we’ve brought the virtual game into the real world. In this fun, chaotic challenge, we let the teams loose on each other with several remote-controlled karts. Whoever pops all the opposing balloons wins!

How Mario Kart event works
You and your colleagues are split into several teams and head into a tournament full of twists and turns. You’ll tackle three exciting Mario Kart challenges, facing different teams as you go.
Our three challenges, on screen and off, will set pulses racing – and not just among racing drivers. Retro gaming fans, fans of old-school motorsport and Mario Kart newcomers will all feel right at home. Alongside original N64 consoles and our Carrera tracks, there are remote-controlled Mario Karts waiting for the teams. Mamma mia!
But only those who put their foot down and keep racking up points can end up on top of the podium. Once all three challenges are complete and the winners of each stage have been decided, the closing award ceremony reveals which team gets to pop the corks!
Fun and teamwork on the home straight
Mario, Luigi, Peach & Donkey Kong – everyone’s on the grid!
It’s all about the famous heroes of the Japanese video game series. Pretty much everyone has probably raced round one of the colourful Mario Kart tracks at some point, or leapt and battled their way through hectic platforming sections to reach Bowser. But complete newcomers will have a great time too, because a team event with the moustachioed plumber and his friends is also about the key team skills of communication, collaboration and staying cool under pressure.
A lively race against your colleagues
With our own take on a racing tournament, action and adrenaline are a given. The three very different challenges give participants plenty of room for overtaking manoeuvres and fast times, and at the same time leave space to talk about something other than work. The relaxed atmosphere, built around a gaming classic, plays a big part in that.
Digital, analogue, nostalgic
Three, two, one… go! Our Mario Kart challenges are as varied as they are thrilling. Whether the controller in your hand is steering a virtual or a real Super Mario, you and your team will have a fun racing adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom at this entertaining team-building event. The different technologies are just one of the challenges.
How was it? Here’s what our clients say
These companies joined our events and created lasting memories. Read what participants say about their experience.
All of us at EKV Köln und Region really enjoyed our time with teamio. They were very professional and well organised. All the event equipment was tidy and well maintained. It showed us once again how valuable it is to have people who specialise in this professionally.
The support beforehand was really good. Very friendly and reliable. The event itself was a lot of fun too.
When we decided to run a farm olympics event during our summer party, I was very sceptical about how it would go down with our colleagues. My brief to teamio was to get every last employee excited about the challenge. I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but YOU DID IT!!! The event was a great success: well prepared, brilliantly hosted and delivered on time. The feedback from colleagues was entirely positive. YOU WERE SIMPLY BRILLIANT, and I’m looking forward to our next event with you!
The teamio team visited us for an event with around 60 people. It was well organised and we had a lot of fun! Thank you.
I booked a soapbox event and we were all really impressed. You exceeded every expectation. Super creative, a great atmosphere, very professional, friendly and so much fun. From the organisation through to the event itself, the team was very attentive and highly capable. Above all, they managed it despite having to set up and run the event away from their usual base at an unfamiliar venue. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It was an amazing archery event with you! :-) Thank you to the whole team, who guided us through the event very professionally while also being so friendly! You did a top job!!
