A mission that demands a lot of commitment, dedication and, above all, patience! The strategy, the camaraderie, the physical and mental training are the skills to be developed in this team-building activity. Work hard, play hard … The motto of this challenge is: One for all and all for US”.

This time only technological resources can help us to solve the issues of real life! The proposal is based on a dynamic and technological orientation game to discover the city, based on iPad devices, which will allow participants to have a one-of-a-kind experience. In this game, all decisions have an immediate answer/consequence, because the score is always in real time. The goal is simple: get to the end with the highest number of points! To reach the goal, participants must overcome many challenges, some come up in certain locations on the equipment itself. The waypoints and destination are unknown and must be uncovered using the information and clues provided.

Navigate the historical city centres of Portugal, discover the solutions to the challenges and marvel at the surprises you’ll find!

Explore the different tracks and types of terrain and release your spirit of adventure at the wheel of a buggy! Cultural and historical routes or just admiring Nature! … You decide. If you prefer only to find the best routes and viewpoints to get the best shot, we have prepared a ride in 4 × 4 cars for you! Fresh air and sunshine are essential ingredients to enhance positive emotions and motivation and, at the same time, help to reduce anxiety levels.

On your marks, get set, GO! Speed up in this incredible game where the goal will not always be just passing the chequered flag. The secret of a great organization is an alignment between the drivers and the pit crew who will overcome this healthy clash at “high” speed and maximum safety together. It may be as an endurance race in “24 Hours of Le Mans” teams. In Formula 1, despite the spotlights focusing on the drivers, the team is a complex structure and must be very well-aligned, with their eyes on the goal so as to have the best performance and overcome all the obstacles in the race.

Polynesian and Peruvian people were the first to start diving into this wave that is here to stay. The sea or the river are waiting for us and we must be radical on the board to remain standing!

Pre-prepared outdoor activities, in the inspiring and one-of-a-kind Nature that our country boasts, with strong emotional content and effective communication, which translates into greater motivation and satisfaction of the work teams.

Inspired by the “golden oldie” TV show of the 80s. We begin by dividing the group into two tribes! Each tribe then creates an equivalent number of subgroups. The action starts with a warm-up, where each “tribe” is identified with the battle cry and characterization. Each team competes against opposing teams in a circuit of challenges, and all points earned contribute to the overall result of your own tribe. The strategy is the key to success. It is important to choose the right person for each job, know the right time to be on the bench cheering for your tribe and get back to “the field” with maximum strength.

Are you ready?

Attention … Pre … Piiiiiiiiiiii!

REACH YOUR GOAL FASTER. DO NOT WAIT FOR PENALTIES …! … BE DIFFERENT … Not all games are really Olympic, but all are themed, fun, and some are even unexpected! In this program, we have different and fun group dynamics that encourage or develop different behavioural skills: group identity, spirit of cooperation, communication, trust, leadership, or others. This is a special moment to celebrate the values of sport where excellence, respect, and friendship inspire us for life. On this day, all employees reach the “minimum” to get to the big competition, so invite them to come on this fun day where the main theme is the practical experience of sports and/or activities, in a pleasant ambience; they can enjoy a cheerful alternative to day-to-day work tasks. Beach games, Stand Up Paddle Surfing, Rugby, Tennis, Field Hockey, Golf, Endurance Tests, Water Polo, Horse Riding, Sailing, Boccia, Fitness, and more.

Take your people to the world of advertising and challenge them to create and produce a television ad. From the designing of a new brand/product to the creation of corporate videos that aim to emphasize the message of a meeting or even reinforce your company’s mission and values. The teams need to demonstrate both their creativity and their powers of persuasion to impact the mainstream media industry. The whole environment created carries each character to a certain time of the company, walking sketch in sketch, up to today.

Your employees reinvent their own versions of the music videos that left a mark on an era in national and international music. Writing, producing, and especially premiering is the purpose of this lively and musical activity! Lyrics memorized, the wardrobe, makeup, props, the whole scene is ready to embody your band and your favourite singer! Creativity and time management are critical factors for teams to reach this hilarious result and develop the skills to work towards the best resolution within challenging timeframes. We can adopt the true concept of “Best Corporate Show” and “Best Corporate Band”.

Guided by percussionists who are worthy of your employees, this combination of music and rhythm is ideal for the show that is about to begin. The unusual instruments (garbage trash cans, bottles, plastic containers, cans …) that are already part of our daily lives, here debut with the musical purpose and suitability of these materials that, many times, are no longer useful. We reinvigorate our attention and ability to interact with the environment, preserving it forever for future generations, taking this genuine performance to the street along with this message.

Believing that individuality is one of the greatest assets people can have, we consider that respecting your employees’ individual differences is pivotal, certain that it is by the sum and complement of these differences that a successful company can form and maintain winning teams, with a genuine collective sense!

The strengthening of these VALUES and SENSE OF BELONGING is reinforced in this activity, because the final image is only designed after the bringing together of the whole team.

Similar to the previous activity, this is an exercise which consists of building a picture in experimental mosaic, with the help of everyone who is a part of your organization, your employees.

Take HAPPINESS to those who don’t have much with the Mapa Zero toy factory. Let’s make them smile. The goal is to master the different parts of a bicycle, in order to later build it. The more points you earn, the more extras you can get. Here, the team that first finishes building it believes that they will win the challenge, but in fact, it will be the children who win with this activity. At the end of the activity, the children from the institution will receive the bicycles as a gift.

At the end, they receive a short video, with images of the teams, the workers, and the moment of delivery, to post on social networks and inspire similar actions from others.

Designed to promote the best in people in a natural outdoor environment by placing them in a new and challenging setting. In this adventure, the teams will be able to do something that comes naturally to them on a daily basis, but because of the context and the needs, it will be more difficult to overcome. So, the teams will have to “fight” to build a strong enough shelter and find material to make a fire and cook their own food. We are talking about something so simple, but that will make a difference in your team! Working together or as a championship, these Team Building challenges will take your team out of its comfort zone and help work on core soft skills for the individual development of your employees and of the entire group.

In this activity, the main goal is to challenge the creativity and innovation of companies. Are you ready? Teams expertly create a series of devices, which when put together and aligned with other departments and teams, become an elaborate chain reaction. Do you remember your childhood, when you would spend hours building castles with dominoes? Go back to the past, this time the whole team being responsible for the construction of a project that depends on everyone’s cooperation! Each employee is a single part of your organization and should remain standing until the sound of the whistle! The teams have detailed information that will help define and plan their devices. They must also share information and resources with other teams so that the whole group is aligned in the strategy defined for the creation of the chain reaction. Collaboration between teams is mandatory for success, because it allows for the sharing of knowledge and resources and goes beyond the boundaries of creativity.

Several teams, the same goal! In this incredible activity, each team will be responsible for a section of the bridge. The motto of this event is: MAKING THE BRIDGE, and IN ONE GO! The development of this challenge is the opportunity to see both sides of this relationship. The bridges can be designed and creatively decorated with the company’s image, prizes may also be awarded for the most creative design, the best “branding”, or the most efficient use of resources. It is not just the creation of a section of a bridge, “MAKE THE BRIDGE(S)” includes making the connections established by the employees, building it according to your customer’s expectations, overcoming difficulties with limited resources, failures in communication and time constraints, while complying with all the deadlines and ensuring that each piece fits. The bridge must be big, strong, and stable enough to allow for a remotely controlled vehicle to cross over it in complete safety.

The proof of a job well done is shown in water, where teams compete in a race or work together to find a treasure.

This problem-solving activity inspires each team to work together toward a common goal – get the idea off the ground, literally. The catapult requires a blend of negotiation between teams, brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and improvement. We provide all the building materials needed, along with two hilarious competitions. The first is the distance launch, followed by a segment of more precise distance launches, which involves the capture of several unlikely objects. Themes such as “continuous improvement” and “improve the dynamics of the team” can be explored. So, we say that catapulting your idea towards success is a great exercise in problem solving to improve cooperation, strategy, decision-making, and the dynamics of your team.

In ancient Egypt, a pyramid was much more than a building; It was a symbol of man’s ability to overcome difficulties and create a magnificent structure that would withstand the test of time. The recreation of one of the strongest and most impressive structures in history requires the ability to work in team and monumental project management. In addition to the construction part, the teams develop the ability to solve problems and express themselves in unique and creative ways. At the beginning, participants believe they are competing to create small pyramids, however, during the activity, the teams realize that by working together they can create something really impressive and long-lasting. Understanding the ultimate goal only makes the division of the task easier; but actually doing it perfectly requires strong leadership, resource management, coordination, and excellent communication – all the characteristics of a good leader and manager.
