Escape games, urban rallies, CSR games, serious games: which team-building activity should you choose for your business objectives?

Team building is no longer just a fun activity for your employees. Today, it is a real strategic lever for cohesion, commitment and collective performance. Whether it’s to strengthen internal communication, support organisational change or develop creativity, the choice of activity is crucial. Escape games, urban rallies, CSR games, serious games… there are so many options, but which one best suits your business objectives? In this article, we help you see clearly so you can choose an activity that is tailored to the needs of your employees.

Escape games: the perfect activity to stimulate cooperation and thinking

The escape game transports your employees into a scripted universe where logic, observation and communication are the keys to success. Teams must solve a series of puzzles within a limited time. This promotes coordination, but also pressure management in a fun and engaging setting.

The benefits for the company are manifold:

  • Develop mutual trust,
  • Encourage employees to communicate more effectively,
  • Strengthen team spirit.

Escape games are particularly well suited when the objective is to facilitate communication, strengthen cohesion between different departments, or raise awareness of a specific topic.

Here are a few examples suggested by Teams Connect: Eco Escape Game to address environmental issues, or Time Trap, available for in-person, remote or hybrid teams, which is useful for involving teams spread across multiple sites.

The urban rally: a corporate event to build relationships in a different way

The urban rally transforms the city into a playground. Participants work in teams and must complete challenges, solve puzzles and interact with the urban environment. This immersion outside the traditional professional setting creates a new dynamic and stimulates informal exchanges.

For the company, the benefit is to promote conviviality and break down hierarchical barriers. By sharing a fun outdoor experience, employees develop a sense of belonging and strengthen their ability to work together in a different context. It is an ideal activity for team building during a seminar or celebrating a collective achievement.

Teams Connect offers Urban Race, a dynamic and competitive urban race, as well as City Explorer, designed to combine culture, discovery and teamwork.

CSR team-building games: ideal for fostering cohesion and responsible engagement

CSR games respond to a fundamental trend: companies’ desire to combine sustainable commitment with strengthening internal cohesion.
These activities combine fun challenges with raising awareness of major environmental and societal issues. Employees learn while having fun and contributing to a meaningful project.

For a company, incorporating a CSR game into a team-building programme helps convey its values, develop pride in belonging and strengthen its image as an employer. These activities also boost motivation, as they give meaning to collective work beyond the professional sphere.

Among the experiences offered by Teams Connect are The Hour of Power, a collaborative challenge with a charitable dimension, and the Go Green Challenge, focused on ecology and responsible behaviour.

Serious games: so your employees can learn while having fun

Serious Games are an innovative educational format that uses gaming conventions to address complex issues. Through an interactive scenario, employees explore situations inspired by real-life business scenarios and are required to make collective decisions.

This type of activity is particularly useful for supporting organisational change, strengthening leadership or developing key skills such as communication, decision-making and innovation. For the company, it is a strategic investment: in addition to strengthening cohesion, it helps to improve collective performance in the long term.

Teams Connect offers tailor-made Serious Games, adapted to the specific needs and challenges of each organisation.
