Lawn curling: curling fun all year round
Everyone knows curling from the Winter Olympics, or from flicking through the sports channels at home. It’s best known for two things: it’s played on ice, and brooms are involved. Thanks to its complex tactical options, curling is often called “chess on ice”.
We took the challenge at the heart of curling and made the changes needed to bring this fascinating winter sport to the warmer months. Our version, lawn curling, needs neither an ice rink nor brooms. What counts here is precision, teamwork, a bit of strength and plenty of finesse. The fun has no boundaries – asphalt, grass or office carpet: lawn curling works anywhere.
Knock your colleagues off course and send your stones home – into the ‘house’, as the big target area is called. An entertaining tournament keeps everyone caught up in the action and suspense. To make the waiting time between the gripping matches fun too, we build alternative challenges into every lawn curling tournament, such as our Kubb challenge or ladder golf. An entertaining, varied team event, guaranteed.

How Lawn curling works
Once the participants have been split fairly into teams at random, you and your colleagues are talked through the rules and the finer points of playing. Our guides are of course on hand if you have trouble getting things sliding.
The aim of the game is to score as many points as possible over two so-called “ends”. Each end consists of one round in each direction, with four throws per team in each. The teams take turns throwing – or rather sliding – their stones from the marked throwing area towards the target marking at the other end of the lane, known as the house. The three scoring circles are worth progressively more points.
The tension lasts until the very last throw back down the lane. A cleverly placed stone can knock all your opponents’ stones out of the lane and land right in the middle itself – and only stones still within the marked playing area at the end of the round count.
Once all the matches of the entertaining team tournament have been played, we compare results and work out the overall result. Shortly afterwards comes the moment every team has been waiting for: who won the most matches? Who showed precision, teamwork and skill? We’ll find out at the award ceremony!
Chess on the lawn, with a thrilling twist!
A summer version of the winter classic
If something works like classic curling, offers the same challenge and is just as much fun – what is it? Our lawn curling, of course! In gripping head-to-head duels, you and your colleagues compete in teams to see which team takes the overall win – beaming smiles and all. Fun, suspense and team building, all in one thrilling event.
Chase points together – anywhere, any time
teamio lawn curling is played on special artificial-grass mats measuring twelve by two metres. Once the lane is rolled out on your company terrace, you’ll be itching to start chasing points together. Thanks to the special surface, our version of curling can be played almost anywhere, whatever the season. Indoor curling is now possible too.
Extra challenges for extra fun
For larger groups or special requests, further curling lanes or additional team challenges such as our ladder golf, cornhole or Kubb challenge can be added with no trouble. That way even the short wait between matches becomes part of the fun.

The feedback from employees was positive throughout! We would happily book again and can really recommend teamio! Thank you for a successful event!
It isn’t easy to bring together 90 employees from three countries and involve everyone in a way that makes the activities enjoyable. It worked wonderfully: I received nothing but very positive feedback, and we are very grateful for the quick turnaround and perfect delivery of our event.

Frequently asked questions about Lawn curling
What is lawn curling?
Lawn curling is our summery take on curling, with no ice and no brooms. It’s played with special curling stones on artificial grass mats measuring 12 by 2 metres. Just like the original, it takes precision, teamwork, a little strength and plenty of finesse.
What are the rules of lawn curling?
You play two ‘ends’, each with an outward and a return leg and four throws per team. Taking turns, the teams slide their stones towards the house, the target area made up of three rings with rising point values. Only stones still inside the playing area at the end of the round count – and a well-placed stone can knock the opposition’s out of the lane.
Where can you play lawn curling?
Almost anywhere with a level surface big enough for our 12 x 2 m lanes: on grass, asphalt or your company’s terrace, and indoors on carpet too. Thanks to the special surface, it works whatever the time of year.
Do we need any experience or a lot of strength?
No. Our guides walk everyone through the rules and technique and help out if your throw needs a little work. What matters most is finesse and tactics, with only a little strength. There’s a reason curling is called “chess on ice”.
What do the teams do while they’re not on the lane?
To make the wait between matches fun as well, we can add further team challenges such as our Kubb challenge, ladder golf or cornhole. For larger groups, extra curling lanes are possible too.
How many people is lawn curling suitable for and how long does it take?
Lawn curling is designed for groups of 20 to 250 people and takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Teams play head-to-head matches in a tournament, rounded off with an awards ceremony.
How much does lawn curling cost and what’s included?
Lawn curling costs from €39 per person plus concept and logistics. This covers planning, organisation and delivery, the 12-metre curling lanes, the tournament with scoring via the teamio event app, and our crew looking after you.
