Escape Game
Concept: A roaming escape game that can be played anywhere in Lyon, no matter your team size. Here though, rather than having to escape from a room, the objective is to find the contents of a briefcase. You’ll need to combine brainpower, new technology, and mutual support in order to help digital superheroes find their mentor, Bill Jobs. Our game experts will be on hand if you need any pointers.

Multiple Intelligences
Concept: This game is a multi-themed activity based on the theory of multiple intelligences, where teams help the police interrogate a bunch of very smart suspects. Each one has to discover how a forger stole a valuable painting – and who the forger is – by discovering and solving a range of clues. Using a mix of escape game and quiz concepts, this team-building event highlights all the participants’ various talents.

Virtual Escape Game

Requirements: A virtual escape game, all you need is a computer, a connection, and video software such as Zoom, Skype, Team, Slack, etc.
Perfect team building for: Remote workers. As telecommuting becomes more and more common, this activity connects your staff via an enjoyable mix of communication and creativity.
Decision making
Concept: A round-table team-building activity based on group communication, decision-making and co-operation. Your mission: find John Evans’ notebook in an old military base – a truly labyrinthine task. Time is limited (a clock ticks away your 17 virtual hours) and every route you choose could be your last. Mutual support will make all the difference. To reach your goal, you’ll need to share information and ideas, listen to each team member’s opinion, and stay level-headed despite mounting stress.
Requirements: An indoor room with a table per team and a central screen.
Perfect team building for: Conventions, as it focuses on dialogue, listening and co-operation. Best in plenaries with tables of 6 to 10 people.
