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.

Remote Team Building

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.

You’re in the vast Place Bellecour and have 65 seconds to find The Stone Watchman and take a photo of it.

This picture is of the town hall during the Siege of Lyon. When was that?

What does the superb Fontaine Bartholdi represent? Look carefully before answering.

Rich in culture, this modern district showcases some of the best parts of Lyon. Have fun exploring Confluence’s cultural side.

La Sucrière is one of Lyon’s Contemporary Art biennial’s main sites. A former event here was called A Terrible Beauty is Born. Take a photo representing that title.

In a neighbourhood that’s a maze of buildings, this photo shows the Le Monolithe. Can you find exactly where it was taken?

Charlemagne’s ice rink was commissioned in 1967. For what occasion?

This strange building, officially known as The Orange Cube, is also named after a cheese. Guess which one.

The 1953 film, Thérèse Raquin, directed by Marcel Carné, was partially shot in Lyon. It’s based on the novel of the same name by a famous French writer – who?
