How it Works
It’s virtual team building…but on the tropical island of your dreams
But there’s a catch: your team must work together to navigate across waters to our next destination.
Your energetic, quirky guide will get everyone laughing and connecting, and working through fun challenges to problem solve, and get to know one another better.
This activity involves fun icebreakers, get-to-know-you games, and collaborative challenges and activities that foster trust, teamwork, self-expression, and a bunch of laughs.
We’ve designed this to be the perfect mix of activities to engage your whole team, from the typically introverted engineers to your most outgoing sales types 🙂
So…how does it work?
Your team just joins the Zoom call (in their best vacation wear, of course), and suddenly you’re transported to a tropical paradise, complete with island music, and a backdrop of palm tree dotted beaches.
To kick things off, meet your host and get the low down: we’re on an island together, and need to get to know one another better, before we figure out how to sail off the island.
Then, your trusty host will lead your team through a series of games that develop psychological safety, and provide a place to share and collaborate.
We’ll use breakout groups that shuffle after each activity, so you get plenty of chances to work in small teams with lots of different folks. Because we use breakouts and you’re in teams of 4-8, we are able to accommodate big teams for this activity (even teams of 100+).
To kick off, the host will introduce easy ice breakers that warm up your team and get them talking and connecting immediately. Then, we come up with new nicknames for the rest of the session, and begin the challenges!
Like in small teams, you’ll have to design a route for our ship, collecting points in an around-the-world scavenger hunt. The challenges are things like “a country where someone on your team honeymooned,” so you’re learning more about your team as you compete!
Then, there’s a competition to collaboratively draw the greatest team flag, and we’ll vote on one winner. We’ll fly the flag as we sail off on the next leg of our journey!
Lastly, everyone has 30 seconds to find one sentimental item that they “packed” into their luggage for the trip — a precious family heirloom, pet, kid, trophy…anything that has a special story behind it, which we’ll all share.
Then, our host will wrap things up, give everyone a little treat, and say farewell — until our next journey!
Standard Structure
Sure! We can run this anywhere from 45-90 minutes. We do recommend the full 90 minutes if you have the time, especially if you’re only doing team events quarterly, as it allows more chances for everyone to share, talk and laugh.
Honestly, the Virtual Vacation works across the board — this one has a little friendly competition for the competitive folks, some laughs for the goofballs, and some opportunities for meaningful connection and discussion for those looking to really bond.
We do! You’ll find that our pricing is already competitive, and there are sadly not many companies doing what we do (meaningful team building that develops team psychological safety, and is just plain fun). We have discounts for return clients, nonprofits, groups of 50+, and universities. Let us know if budget is a concern for you, and we’ll see what we can do.
• Once you send in a request, you can set up a free demo to meet a host and get any questions answered. Or, if you’re ready to rock now, our booking specialist will reach out to help choose your date/time and send a secure payment link!
• We’ll be in touch leading up to the event, and share a Zoom link that you’ll send to your team.
• On the day of, show up ready for fun, and our host will take it from there!
