Custom Team Building Events: Go On, Challenge Us!

Some of our favourite team building events have started with a client saying, “This might sound a little crazy, but…”

Perfect. Keep talking.

At Tailored Team Building, creating something different is one of our favourite parts of the job. Yes, we have a huge range of tried-and-tested team building activities, but that doesn’t mean we want to run the exact same event, in the exact same way, every time. Your team is different, your location is different and what you want to get out of the day is different. Your event should be too.

Whether you have a completely wild idea already or you simply know you want something your team hasn’t done before, challenge us. Give us the brief, tell us what you’re imagining and let’s see what we can create.

No Cookie-Cutter Team Building Here

There are plenty of standard corporate team building packages out there. Pick an activity, choose a package, turn up on the day and away you go. That works for some teams, but it’s not really our style.

Even when you choose one of our existing activities, we look for ways to make the experience feel like your event. We can change challenges, incorporate your company, create custom clues, add a theme or build activities around your conference messaging. We can also work with unusual venues, specific start and finish locations or ideas that are completely outside the box.

Take our Corporate Amazing Race. We don’t simply pull the same route out of a folder every time. Instead, we design races around the location and the group. We can add local landmarks, custom challenges, company trivia, surprise twists and plenty of other details along the way.

The basic concept might be the same, but the experience certainly doesn’t have to be.

Bespoke Team Building Activities Built Around You

If you’re searching for bespoke team building activities, this is where things get really fun.

We love starting with a blank page and asking, “What could we do here?” Over the years, that question has led to hidden clues, actors, custom puzzles, secret missions, unusual locations, ridiculous photo challenges and plenty of ideas that sounded slightly questionable on paper but worked brilliantly on the day.

Sometimes the customisation is simple. For example, we might add company trivia to a Game Show or create a challenge based on an inside joke. Other times, we might design brand-new challenges or build an entire event around a theme.

Perhaps you want to incorporate your company’s products, values or history. Maybe your CEO is happy to make a surprise appearance. You might have access to an unusual venue, want everyone to finish at a particular restaurant or have a conference theme that we can bring to life.

Tell us. The more unusual the brief, the more ideas we start throwing around.

Unique Team Bonding Ideas Start With Your Team

When businesses search for unique team bonding ideas, they often find themselves scrolling through endless lists of the same activities. Amazing Races, trivia, scavenger hunts, Olympics, escape rooms… sound familiar?

There’s nothing wrong with those ideas. In fact, we run quite a few of them ourselves! However, the activity name is only the starting point. It’s what we do with the concept that makes the event different.

For example, an Amazing Race can become a completely different experience when the challenges relate to your company, teams meet surprise characters along the route or a clue sends everyone somewhere unexpected. A Game Show can feature questions about your team, while a Task Master event can include challenges inspired by your industry. Meanwhile, a Mystery Race can become a full investigation with a custom storyline, suspects and clues.

Even Corporate Olympics can be completely reimagined. Forget endless running races and traditional sporting events. Instead, we can create funny, ridiculous and inclusive challenges that get everyone involved.

That’s the beauty of bespoke team building activities. We can take a great format and turn it into something that feels completely your own.

Have a Weird Idea? Even Better.

Maybe you’ve been searching for team building event ideas, but nothing quite matches what you have in mind. Or perhaps someone in your planning meeting has said, “Wouldn’t it be funny if…” before everyone laughed and moved on.

Go back to that idea. We want to hear it.

What if teams had to track down an undercover agent? What if your event was themed around your industry? Perhaps teams could collect pieces throughout the event before building something at the finish. Maybe your CEO becomes part of a secret challenge, or your conference venue gets transformed into the playing field.

We can add secret advantages, hidden clues, surprise roadblocks, unusual checkpoints or challenges that nobody sees coming. Better still, you don’t need to arrive with the whole event mapped out. Give us the seed of an idea and we’ll work out how to bring it to life.

Corporate Team Building That Actually Feels Like Your Company

Customisation isn’t only about making an event more entertaining. It can also make corporate team building feel more relevant to the people taking part.

You might be bringing everyone together for a conference, celebrating a company milestone, welcoming new employees or launching a new product. Alternatively, you might simply want to get everyone out of the office for an afternoon of fun. Whatever the reason, we can weave elements of your team and your story into the experience.

That could mean company-specific trivia, branded challenges, conference themes, customised scoring or references that only your team will understand. However, we’re not trying to turn your team building day into another work presentation.

Quite the opposite.

We want people laughing, competing, collaborating and getting completely caught up in the experience. The personalised details simply create those moments where someone stops and says, “Okay… they definitely made this for us.”

A Little Customisation or Something Completely New

Not every event needs to be reinvented from scratch. You might already love one of our existing team building event ideas and simply want to add a few personalised challenges. Easy.

On the other hand, you might come to us with something we’ve never run before. Also excellent.

Custom team building can sit anywhere in between. We can tweak an existing activity, combine ideas from several different events or start with a completely blank page. Most importantly, we’ll work out how to make your idea fun, practical and achievable.

After all, coming up with new challenges, new twists and new event concepts is one of the things we love most about what we do.

So… What Have You Got?

Got an unusual venue? A ridiculous theme? A half-formed idea that you haven’t quite figured out yet? Maybe you’ve been given a brief for a team building event and have absolutely no idea what to do with it.

Send it our way.

If you’re looking for unique team bonding ideas, bespoke team building activities or corporate team building that feels genuinely different, we’d love to hear what you have in mind.

You bring us the brief. We’ll bring the ideas, challenges, twists, props, clues and a healthy amount of competitive chaos.

Go on. Challenge us.
