Beat the Box: team building's best event!

From the very first moments, it’s clear that every aspect of this team building challenge has been designed to leverage the benefits of gamification. That translates into serious engagement plus major fun.  With Beat the Box, there are no lengthy introductions – just a short, thrilling video to catapult the players into the game. Working against the clock adds even more excitement.

Once they’ve broken out into smaller working teams, your group will tackle four different escape room-style challenges. These have to be solved in sequence, and naturally, each Beat the Box challenge raises the bar a little higher. The ultimate goal: discover a mystery slogan with the power to stop the clock. 

Of course, the only path to victory is through smooth teamwork and real cooperation. This is a great program to highlight the power of combining individual skill sets to achieve the greatest possible outcome. If there’s a team out there that wouldn’t benefit from better teamwork, we haven’t met them yet.

Space requirement
  • resizer

    This indoor activity requires a large private function space. You’ll want a round table for each team (chairs optional), plus one large rectangular table at the front of the room for event materials. You’ll also need a large screen and projector with an HDMI video connection. Events with 50 or more people work best with a microphone and speaker setup.

Tailoring
  • wrench

    TeamBonding is all about customization. Would you like specific elements of company branding, culture theme and/or mission statement woven into your event debrief? Just let us know what you have in mind. The challenge boxes themselves cannot be customized.

Can your team find the code to save Santa before it’s too late?

Beat the Box FAQ

Beat the Box kicks off with a competitive edge. Each team gathers around their own locked box as the countdown begins. But the real twist comes when participants discover they can’t solve everything on their own. The only way to crack the code is by working together across teams. This powerful shift from competition to collaboration is what makes Beat the Box such a memorable team building experience.

Yes! While the puzzle structure stays consistent to ensure smooth gameplay, we personalize key elements like the final phrase teams reveal to “beat the box.” We also weave in a tailored debrief to connect the storyline back to your company’s culture, values, or goals.

Unlike traditional team building competitions, there isn’t one winning team in Beat the Box. Success depends on everyone unlocking the final solution together. The shared victory reinforces the core message: collaboration beats competition. The true prize is the sense of accomplishment your entire group celebrates at the same time.

Revolutionizing work, one team at a time.

We’ve been setting the standard for team building since fanny packs were cool (the first time)—bonding teams, bettering businesses, and building a stronger world, one event at a time.
