A fun team event or teambuilding activity with colleagues is always a challenge
It has to be original, suitable for everyone in the group, and above all, it must create fun and genuine connection. Yet you often hear the same questions:
What activities are truly enjoyable?
How do you make sure it’s suitable for everyone?
And how do you keep it risk-free so no one feels excluded or uncomfortable?
In this article, we give an overview of inspiring ideas, tips to avoid common pitfalls, and examples of activities that are both safe and unforgettable.
Why team activities matter
A team day or company outing is more than a day away from the office.
It strengthens cooperation, improves communication and brings new energy to the workplace.
Original activities help colleagues see each other in a different light — free from deadlines and meeting rooms.
Examples of fun and original team activities
Escape rooms and open escape rooms — full of tension, teamwork and puzzles without physical risks. Ideal for groups who enjoy a challenge.
Culinary workshops — cooking, tasting and laughing together in a relaxed setting.
Quiz or game show — humour and knowledge combined, perfect when everyone needs to stay involved.
Boat tours or city tours — accessible, light and suitable for all ages.
Creative workshops — painting, music or theatre: surprising and connecting.
City games — but not the standard type. Strong concepts use multiple layers of interaction and a professional behind-the-scenes team, not just one guide with an iPad.
How to organise a risk-free team event
Many colleagues want to have fun, but not everyone enjoys tension or physically demanding tasks. A good team activity should therefore be:
Safe and accessible for different ages and ability levels
Suitable for everyone, with activities that encourage participation
Flexible enough to include rest moments
Clear in communication about what will — and will not — happen
Pay attention to safety in the city
At Neverrest, we never encourage participants to run, chase each other or walk through busy streets staring at iPads.
Especially in crowded inner cities, this can be unsafe.
Instead, we use surprising interactions, actors and playful elements that keep you alert without any physical risk.
No alcohol during activities
To ensure safety and full immersion, no alcohol is served or consumed during our programmes.
A drink afterwards? Of course.
But during the event, everything revolves around teamwork, focus and enjoyment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are fun team activities for large groups?
Quizzes, city games and workshops scale well for bigger teams.
How do you ensure colleagues actually enjoy it?

Not at all. Creative and unique concepts are often more affordable than standard outings. It’s mainly about making the right choice.
