There’s no better way to strengthen team spirit than with a bit of team building! Unusual activities, convivial moments with colleagues… We’ve come up with the 5 best offbeat things to do with colleagues right now!
Team building is very important for the spirit and cohesion of colleagues. If many companies are betting on these methods, it’s because studies praise their good results. A happier team is a more productive team, a bonus for the employer. For the employee, the office is like a second home. Just as it’s important to be fulfilled in your personal life, it’s equally important to be fulfilled in your professional life. Getting along with your colleagues is no small matter. To build relationships between work colleagues, companies sometimes organize seminars, activity days, afterworks or group trips. Whether you’re an employer short of ideas or a colleague short of fun, we’ve come up with the best offbeat activities for a memorable team building event.
Axe throwing at Les Cognées
But no, not to throw at your colleagues. We said team building, not tension release. Want to bring out your wild side, your inner woodsman? We’ve found Les Cognées, the axe-throwing specialists in Paris! An ideal and unusual activity for colleagues, to answer an important question you’ve probably never asked yourself: who’s the best axe thrower? Only one way to find out! Reserve your axe-throwing room, and aim for the target. One ticket gives you one target, for 1 or 3 participants! Get into teams, and aim carefully.
Les Cognées, 5 rue Stephenson, 75018. On your axes, get set, throw! Reserve your target here!
A karaoke night at Bam Karaoke Box
There’s nothing like a good evening of karaoke to lighten the mood, take the pressure off and get to know the team against a backdrop of false notes. A trend straight out of Asia, where karaoke is legion, this is one of the best activities for groups. People often gather there after work to enjoy good times together away from the office, in a culture where professional cohesion and productivity are much more important. What’s more, we’ve found discounted appetizers with cocktails and tapas included!
- Bam Karaoke Box Sentier (closed until August 21) : 50 Rue d’Aboukir, 75002 France
- Bam Karaoke Box Richer : 30 Rue Richer, 75009
- Bam Karaoke Box Parmentier : 40 Avenue de la République, 75011
A venting session at Fury Room
Almost 3 months cooped up at home, in the office, telecommuting or on the front line is bound to cause tension. Don’t panic, we’ve found a way to relax those tense nerves. No, it’s not a massage, it’s a life-size release! Fury rooms were a huge success in Asia, particularly in Japan, where neurotic employees let off steam in rooms where you can smash everything with a baseball bat. An identical room has been set up in the heart of Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, and has been open again since May 12. With formulas ranging from 20€ à 125€ there’s something for everyone! Colleagues choose the office room and turn into a human bulldozer, and off we go!
Fury Room, 23 Rue Blondel, 75002. Buy your tickets here!
A game of darts at Les Petites Flèches
Between colleagues, there’s nothing like a bit of competition to spice things up. Darts are the ultimate bar activity, and we’ve found the perfect place for you in Paris! Les Petites Flèches is more than just a dart bar. It’s a high-tech experience that lets you see and re-see everything, from your arrows hitting the bull’s-eye to your arrows hitting the wall! Automatic scorekeeping (no bad faith between colleagues), GIFs inspired by your throws, good beers and delicious tapas… What more could you ask for for a truly successful team building event? PS: we also have small discounts for your next evening with colleagues: 1 target for 6 people for one hour, two hours, or one hour including tapas.
49 Rue Jean Pierre Timbaud, 75011.
A day of tree climbing in our beautiful forests
Our beautiful region abounds in dense wooded forests where you can try your hand at accrobranches, the perfect way to build confidence between colleagues! What’s more, after 3 months of isolation, what better activity than accrobranche to breathe in the fresh air of nature? Most sites in the Paris region have reopened since May 21. With the number of forests to be found in the Paris region, and therefore the number of climbing parks, there’s something for everyone. From beginners’ courses to black runs for real stuntmen, there’s something for everyone. Our colleagues at sortiraparis.com have compiled a list of open parks by region, so take a look!
