What makes a fun team outing?
A fun team outing is active, easy to join and gives everyone something to talk about the next day. The trick is matching the activity to your group, energetic teams love a bit of competition, while others prefer something creative or relaxed. Add food and drinks and you have a day people remember.
1. The Rage Room
For pure fun and release, it is hard to beat smashing things together. At The Rage Room your team suits up and destroys glass, electronics and furniture in a private room with a pipe, hammer or crowbar. It is loud, physical and gets everyone laughing. With locations in Amsterdam and Eindhoven from 37.50 euro per person, it is our favourite team outing, and you can add catering and drinks.
2. Escape room
An escape room drops your team into a themed mystery with one hour on the clock. It is a fun mental workout that rewards teamwork and quick thinking, and cracking the final puzzle together feels genuinely great.
3. Indoor karting
Indoor karting is fast, competitive and works whatever the weather. Run team heats, hand out a podium and let the friendly rivalry fuel the rest of the day. A guaranteed hit with competitive groups.
4. City game
A city game or scavenger hunt sends small teams around town solving clues and challenges. It is active, social and a great way to explore a new city together while a little competition keeps everyone motivated.
5. Cooking workshop
A cooking workshop turns your team into a kitchen crew that cooks and then eats together. It is relaxed and hands-on, and the shared meal at the end makes the bonding effortless.
6. Paintball or lasergame
Paintball and lasergame put your team in an arena where strategy and communication decide the winner. It is high energy and a lot of fun, and lasergame is the no-bruises option for mixed groups.
7. VR gaming
Virtual reality gaming drops your team into shared worlds where they solve or compete together. It is novel, inclusive and works well indoors for groups that love a bit of tech and a lot of laughs.
8. Axe throwing
Axe throwing is easier and more satisfying than it looks. Under supervision, teams compete to hit the bullseye. It brings the same physical release as a rage room and pairs perfectly with drinks afterwards.
9. Boat trip
A private boat trip is the laid-back finale or the whole plan. Cruise with drinks and music while your team relaxes and talks. Ideal for warm days and for groups that just want good company.
