Team Building Lyon

Finding a team-building activity in Lyon is a bit like taking the Fourvière tunnel on August 15th – there are too many option, you’re not sure which way to go, and it takes forever to reach your goal.

UrbanGaming’s edge is its new generation of team-building activities – a clever mix of collaboration, technology, customisation, and laughs.

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.

Requirements: A room with a table per team and a screen. This game caters for up to 1000 people and takes about 90 minutes.

Perfect team building for: Introducing staff to the digital world in an enjoyable way. With connected objects, 3D, social networks, digital padlocks, and more – there are plenty of challenges to fire up the brain.

Concept: A team-building escape game that caters for large and small groups, and can be adapted to anywhere in Lyon that supports CSR values. Help the four demi-gods of CSR get their hands on the climate sceptic, Céresse, and retrieve the ring that gives them their powers. Our escape box is full of the challenges you’ll need to find and solve in order to do this.

Requirements: A table per team and a screen. This game caters for up to 1000 people and takes 1.5-2.5 hours.

Perfect team building for: Focusing staff on corporate social responsibility values.

Concept: A digital treasure hunt through Lyon’s museums, (re)discovering them as a team through an enjoyable mix of culture and games.

Requirements: You’ll need to fit in with museum opening times. We’ll manage the tickets.

Perfect team building for: Exploring Lyon’s history and art while having fun.

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.

Requirements: Can be played remotely or on site (indoors or outdoors). Indoors works best where there are several rooms for the teams to explore. Takes 40-100 minutes.

Perfect team building for:

• Getting people to collaborate.
• Emphasising team communication and sharing.
• Highlighting how departments complement each other.

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.
