Catch the crook. Play around with a creative, murder mystery game by assigning each individual with a specific fictional character. Whether you want to go all out and dole out some costumes (hats, mustaches on sticks, glasses) that would be perfect for a Photo Booth, or want everyone to stay low key, teams are given specific instructions in order to unlock key evidence and uncover the crime. It’s a fun, brainstorming game that encourages project management and problem solving.
Minute to Win It. Time pressure can definitely up the intensity when it comes to obstacle courses and other challenges. Parlor games, relays and even quick number problems help encourage teamwork, friendly competition and strategy development among coworkers. Work with increasingly difficult challenges to up the ante!
Run the catwalk. Go for your own version of Project Runway by encouraging some costume drama with basic materials—rolls of cloth, crepe paper, and other accessories. Match a specific era or style for every team, and have the big bosses judge the competition. Not only does a company-wide fashion show encourage resourcefulness, it allows everyone’s creativity to shine.
