How long are these team oriented games?
Planning
Each activity starts with a 10 minute planning phase. Teams often fail because of poor planning. It’s important to plan before starting each activity to get the most out of them.
Main Activity
The duration of each activity is approximately 30 minutes. These activities are indoor and outdoor. We can deliver them in hotel gardens, parks and beaches.
Debrief
After a successful team building activity, we debrief your team members on how the game went. We talk about what went well and what could be improved. This can also be a great way to strengthen the relationship with your team members.
