Event short description

Event Description >> Your team is amazing and it’s time to celebrate your collective amazingness this holiday season! Show your appreciation by bringing everyone together to enjoy a high energy experience full of engaging games that center around positive characteristics you love most about your group. We'll gladly pick 2-3 strengths you’re extra thankful your team has (from the list below), and enthusiastically lead entertaining themed games that tie-in with these attributes! Not only will employees have a blast, comfortably come out of their shells, celebrate the holiday season (with occasional references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, & New Years), and get to know each other better, they’ll also learn what you truly appreciate about them!

Throughout the event, our uber friendly host will ensure players easily connect through engaging games enjoyed in the main room and in breakout rooms. To infuse extra social fun, new teams can be created at the midpoint (if desired) so colleagues can easily have a ball with different folks! That said, it’s time to bring your incredible crew together so you can smile big and bask in your collective awesome-ness with "Team Appreciation Fun & Games"!

* Team attributes that games will be based on are a strong work ethic, great teamwork/communication, high performance, positive attitude/passion, and being creative/innovative.

** TO BE CHEERFULLY CLEAR - These games are wildly entertaining game shows, trivia contests, party games, quick thinking challenges & more. These are NOT serious team-building challenges that are heavy on the learning and light on the fun.

Satisfaction Guarantee >> We love this event & know you will too! If you're not fully satisfied, we'll gladly provide a 100% refund OR a free event at equal value! *Please note - This guarantee is only offered on events with this specific wording.

Freebies >> We’re thrilled to provide you with the following:

• Donation >> We'll give 3% of our proceeds to the charity of your choice!
• Themed Background >> Shared with your team to use during the event (optional).
• Highlight Reel >> 20 sec video that shows the fun we had! Made from a short recording.
• Event Recap >> Full summary of event (written by your host). Includes event winners.
• Branded Background >> Realistic graphic made w/ YOUR logo. Use on future video calls!
• Consult Chat >> Ask questions and/or customize your event on a friendly call (if desired).

How it works

• Game Menu >> What we play can be based on the variables of your event OR you can pre-select what we enjoy. Examples include::

  • Strong Work Ethic >> Name strong answers to fun survey questions.
  • Teamwork/Communication >> Decode tricky sentences to reveal common phrases.
  • Positive Attitude >> Guess what % of the group answers "Yes" to engaging prompts.
  • Creative/Innovative >> Create a heroic team while learning more about each other.
  • High Performance >> Make lists with the top answers your group can think of.

• Our Passion >> Comfortably connecting your group through unique fun! Everything we do will encourage your team to come out of their shells & easily engage with each other (especially your introverts)! We also enjoy making your life super easy & stress-free while ensuring you look like a hero to your team. Here's how!

• Logistics >> Up to three different games will be enjoyed in the main room (70% with everybody) and in breakout rooms (30% with small groups). Team groupings can be switched at the midpoint (if you'd like) & winners will be announced at the end for various fun categories! Check the "Agenda / Run of Show" tab below for more logistics & timeline info.

• Getting into the Fun >> Everyone just needs a pen/paper to play & keep track of the points they earn through correct answers and being funny, creative, kind and more. No apps, websites or downloads are required. To create a lively environment, your host will play upbeat music & use video backgrounds. Players do not have to wait for other teams to "take a turn" as everyone gets to play simultaneously!

• Strategically Simple Format >> Every thing we'll do at your event was built with simplicity in mind. Not only will it let players get into the action quickly, it guarantees it will work well for your introverts & extroverts, small or large group, international or domestic team and virtual or hybrid attendees. Lastly, our focus on simplicity makes your life uber easy as customization requests, unknown event details and curveballs are easy for us to handle.

• Personable Hosts >> You'll LOVE your host! They'll quickly ingratiate themselves so it feels like they're a long lost team member, NOT a hired performer. This personal connection & focus on what your group needs will make it easy for players to relax & comfortably engage!

• Perfect for Your Group >> Your event will be expertly crafted in real time based on your group's energy, social comfort levels and preferences. This guarantees the experience will be one-of-a-kind and perfectly yours!

Frequently asked questions
  • Does this event work well for a group of people that are located around the world?

    Definitely! All of the trivia and game content we use is specifically designed to be relevant for players, no matter what country they are joining from!

  • Does this event work well for a large group of people (40-997 people)?

    Absolutely! Our event format ensures that everyone is engaged in the main room, is able to comfortably connect with small teams in breakout rooms, and has a blast throughout!

  • Do you offer discounts for larger events?

    If your projected attendance is over 40, it would be our pleasure! Simply click the "Ask A Question" button on the right side of the screen, let us know how many people you estimate will attend, and we’ll gladly send you a custom quote.

  • Does this event work well with a group that’s smaller than the minimum attendance you have listed?

    You can definitely enjoy this soiree with less than the minimum attendance listed! You could actually enjoy it with as few as 2 folks if you’d like. The one thing to keep in mind is that you would just need to pay for the minimum (as this is the lowest amount we can charge to cover the costs of leading the soiree). But smaller groups like this are oftentimes extra fun & engaging!

  • After I book, can I ask to increase or decrease the estimated attendance?

    100%! As long as you message us at least 12 hours before your event start time, we will gladly add or subtract the requested amount. If you want to increase the expected headcount, you will receive an invoice adjustment to easily pay for the extra people. If you want to decrease the expected headcount, you would see a refund show up within 5-7 business days.

  • I’m not positive how many people will play. Is it OK if more/less people show up than what I project?

    Absolutely! Our simple event format was purposefully designed so that attendance fluctuations don’t affect how we host. Whether 5 people show up or 50, our host will welcome them warmly and make sure they have a blast connecting through fun! *Please note - If the actual attendance goes above the projected attendance, no sweat! You will simply be charged for these extra players after the soiree. If the actual attendance is below the projected attendance, no refunds will be given.

  • Will you be available on the date/time I have in mind? Even if it’s an unusual time?

    We can almost guarantee we will be! We have over 20 friendly and experienced hosts spread out around the world. This large team was assembled to ensure we’re almost always available when you want to have a blast with your group. *Please note - You can see our calendar by clicking the “Make a Reservation” button and then picking a date/time. If you can select the date/time you have in mind, we’re free! You will not be charged by simply checking a date/time in this way.

  • Would we be able to have our event be on Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, WebEx, etc?

    Sure can! While Zoom is our preferred video platform, we can absolutely host this social fun on another platform if desired. *Please note - Zoom is our preferred platform as it provides the most seamless and impressive experience overall. It's also faster and has features that are designed with events in mind (versus meetings). That said, we ABSOLUTELY understand that some organizations highly prefer to use other platforms! If that's the case here, we're definitely able to host your event on other platforms. If you want to go that route, we'd love to lead the soiree on our account so we can easily take care of all the technical functions (sending people to breakout rooms and such). If it's on your account, we may need you to take care of these tech tasks (which is certainly doable!). Please don't take any of this as us trying to pressure you into a decision! We just like to provide intel so you can make the best decision for your amazing group.

  • Is it OK if players log in late or leave early?

    Definitely! Our flexible format makes it easy to ingratiate folks who arrive late and easily roll with people leaving early.

  • When will the event start/players be let in from the waiting room?

    The host will login to start the waiting room 10 minutes before the event start time. They will then let people in from the waiting room at the exact event start time. If you (the event organizer) show up earlier, we’ll gladly let you in roughly 3 mins before the event starts to say hello!

  • Who do you donate money to when an event is booked?

    Donating is our second favorite thing to do (second only to comfortably connecting groups through unique fun)! To ensure we give to a cause you believe in, we’ll gladly ask you which charity you'd like us to donate 3% of our proceeds to!

  • Can I request that teams stay the same throughout?

    Absolutely! We can keep the same team combination throughout the event if you feel that fits your plans better.

  • Do I (the group leader) have to be at the event?

    Nope! Our events are fully hosted so it will go smoothly whether you’re there or not. If you do decide to attend, we highly encourage you to join in the fun as we’ll take care of everything!

  • Do players have to turn their cameras on the entire event?

    This event is all about having fun and connecting in a comfortable atmosphere. Therefore, they make the call based on their comfort level!

  • Will players have to perform or be singled out in front of the entire group?

    Nope! Most of the talking they’ll be doing will be in small groups of 3-5 people (while in breakout rooms). If they feel like talking in the main room, great! If not, they can easily chat out their thoughts or stay silent while with everyone. It's up to them!

  • Can I provide a list of the exact teams we want to be grouped together?

    Yes! If you’d like to go the predetermined team route, you would simply need to send us a list of teams at least 8 hours in advance so our host knows how you want to group everyone!

  • How much time will be spent in the Main Room (with everyone) versus in breakout rooms (on teams)?

    Roughly ⅔ of the event is experienced in the main room while ⅓ is enjoyed in breakout rooms.
