Candy says a lot about the place it comes from. The host walks the group through regional favorites and chocolate traditions from around the globe, and the conversation naturally turns to travel memories, childhood favorites, and strong opinions about which country makes the tastiest snack. Expect sweets shaped like skulls, fish, and even dollar bills, plus a running conversation about where each treat comes from and how it is enjoyed at home, so every guest has a story or two to share by the end of the hour.
What's in the Kit
Each guest receives a curated collection of sweets from around the world, with at least one treat from every continent, including unusual shapes and flavors many people have never tried. Kits are mailed directly to each participant with shipping included, and dietary restrictions can be accommodated when shared at booking.
How the Event Works
After booking, the organizer receives a link to collect guest shipping addresses, so there is no spreadsheet to build. Kits ship ahead of the event. On the day, the team joins from a Zoom link and the host guides the group through the kit, so everyone tastes each treat at the same time and shares reactions live, with trivia and challenges along the way. Because the kit comes with a live guide, the group is never left wondering what to taste next.

A Great Fit for Many Occasions
International Candy Tasting works well as team building activities for remote teams with mixed comfort levels around competitive games, because tasting and storytelling give everyone an easy way to join in. Organizers book it for employee appreciation weeks, onboarding sessions, cultural celebrations, client events, and holiday parties. It is one of the more fun employee engagement activities virtual teams can share, and because each person gets the same physical kit, it delivers one of the more tangible team bonding experiences even across many locations. Planners looking for virtual events for team building and virtual team bonding activities with a tangible takeaway tend to land here.
What Your Team Needs
Each player joins from a computer or device with an internet connection and access to Zoom. There is nothing to install and no special equipment to buy. The host explains the rules at the start, answers questions as they come up, and helps with connection hiccups, so teammates who rarely use video tools can jump right in.
