When the budget is tight

What to do with a tight budget

With a tight budget the question isn't whether something is possible, but where you save. With a company outing the money usually goes on four things: the venue, the food, the equipment and the duration. Of those four, the venue is by far the most expensive, and at the same time the one that adds least to the day. Hiring a hall quickly costs more than the whole programme, while most companies have a canteen, a warehouse or some outdoor space that works perfectly well.

That's why we always begin by asking which space you have yourselves. After that we look at the duration, because a tight two-hour programme leaves more behind than a half-hearted afternoon. What we don't cut back on is the hosting, because a programme without someone running it falls apart within twenty minutes. From €195 we run a compact programme. Feel free to tell us what you have to spend, and we'll say what that will cover, instead of sending a proposal that goes far over budget.

Where you can save

  • The venue, by using your own space
  • The duration, because a tight two hours is often enough
  • Catering, by keeping it to coffee and something simple

Where you'd better not save

  • The hosting, otherwise the programme stalls
  • The preparation, because that's where the custom work happens
  • The finale, because that's what people remember

Frequently asked questions

We have a small budget. Is it worth calling?

It's worth calling, even with a small budget. A compact programme starts at €195, and if you tell us what you have to spend, we'll tell you what's possible within that. That works better than a proposal that goes far over budget and that you'd have to turn down anyway.

What's the cheapest way to organise it?

The cheapest format is a programme of a few hours in your own space, without outside catering. The venue is usually the biggest cost for a company outing, and it disappears as soon as you use a canteen, warehouse or area that's already there.

Does a cheaper programme also mean less fun?

A smaller budget mainly affects the scale, not the quality of the game. What goes are the extras: additional activities, decor and a longer programme. The format, the hosting and the fact that it's built around your group stay the same.

Is the venue included in the price if you arrange one?

The venue isn't included in the programme price. If we arrange a place, that cost is listed separately in the quote, so you can see what the programme costs and what the space costs. Your own venue is often the cheapest choice.
