In this global online scavenger hunt, teams choose a country and complete challenges related to that destination. They engage in a variety of tasks each inspired by the country they represent to activate ‘hotspots” and earn points. With photo and video challenges, timed questions, creative team challenges, everyone will be engaged and inspired. Have fun globe-trotting the world in this app-based virtual team building activity!
Event Overview
A virtual app-based race across the globe.
The Race Around the World has three levels, each with a variety of fun, interactive, and engaging team challenges. As each team chooses an explorer, players will communicate over video conferencing and collaborate to guide their team’s explorer avatar across the globe with the use of our high tech Go Team App.
Within the team, there is one explorer specifically making the moves but being guided by their team who have the information on the efficiency of the routes. Players communicate in their team’s breakout rooms via video conferencing app – collaborating as one to guide their explorer avatar to the end location. Teams must complete the task with a maximum amount of points as possible – using the help of updates and notifications to maximize their opportunity.
A countdown clock on each stage keeps the team on their toes, and the last team to ‘check-in’ gets no time plan for the next trip! On crossing the finish line, each ‘explorer’ cashes in their remaining resource tokens to bolster their score. The team to finish all the stages with the highest score wins.
This 60-90 minute online-based event has something for everyone based on a sense of adventure. Under the pressure of time, teams find that actively listening to receive and interpret messages, watching for facial cues, and communicating precisely and succinctly are keys to team success.
Event Details
Space Requirement
Using an online conferencing tool, our skilled facilitators will be there to guide your participants throughout the experience and lead a debrief afterward to maximize learning outcomes.
Ideal For
It quickly becomes apparent that communicating online is quite different from face-to-face communication, therefore putting teams under higher pressure to successfully complete. Communication skills are key – always listening to receive and interpret messages, looking out for facial cues, and speaking out on any information you have effectively are keys to team success. Players must think critically and share their knowledge and solutions with other players.
Tailoring
This team building activity has been designed especially for remote teams. If your team can’t be in the same city or the same physical space, its a great way to engage, motivate, and connect your team.
Our Charity Bike Build donation event was a huge success. Matt and his team handled everything beautifully, and our group had a ton of fun. I heard nothing but positive comments afterwards. We will definitely recommend you to our colleagues.
