Experiences
A high-energy, Olympic-style corporate team-building experience designed for groups from 6 to 6,000 participants. The Global Games Challenge brings teams together through friendly competition, collaboration, and fast-paced challenges. This premium in-person event is ideal for company offsites, all-hands meetings, holiday parties, employee engagement programs, and large corporate celebrations across the San Francisco Bay Area.
The experience starts with a full Opening Ceremony, including a creative Parade of Nations where each team writes its own original “national anthem.” Teams then rotate through a series of up to eight timed challenges that test teamwork, communication, strategy, and problem-solving. A lively Medal Ceremony closes the event, celebrating the top-performing teams with gold, silver, and bronze medals (included for groups of 75 or more participants).
Challenges are varied to keep every participant engaged, combining physical activity, mental agility, and collaborative planning. Each activity runs in a rotation format so all teams experience the full lineup.

Best for
Corporate team building, large all-hands events, annual company retreats, employee appreciation weeks, holiday parties, summer company picnics, cultural celebrations, and any organization looking to boost morale and cross-departmental collaboration. This Olympic-style format works especially well for multi-team offsites where mixing departments or locations is a priority.
Value for your team
Every element of the Global Games Challenge is designed to foster authentic interaction, build trust, and create shared memories. The combination of creative anthem-writing, fast physical challenges, and strategic puzzles ensures that participants of all backgrounds stay involved and engaged. Because teams are kept small, no one stands on the sidelines. The rotating station format also keeps the energy flowing and allows everyone to contribute across different skill sets.
The event is fully customizable to your group’s culture — whether you want to emphasize friendly rivalry between office locations or simply celebrate a milestone together. The professional host and facilitators handle all logistics, so your team can focus on having fun, strengthening relationships, and competing in a supportive environment.
From small departments of six to massive company-wide gatherings of six thousand, the Global Games Challenge scales seamlessly while maintaining a personal, high-energy feel. It is a proven format used by Fortune 500 companies, startups, and nonprofits alike for team building, employee engagement, and corporate celebrations in the Bay Area.
