Company outing
in Amsterdam
In December every company wants to do something for its staff. Plan early and you have a choice. Plan for January and diaries are often still empty. From €195 for the group.
Year-end drinks with something to do
A company outing in Amsterdam falls in December remarkably often. The year is done, there's still room in the budget and everyone wants to see their colleagues once more before the holidays. The downside is that the company party usually turns into drinks where the same little groups stay at the same standing table. A game of an hour or two at the start of the evening changes that. People are put into teams and have to solve something together, and when the drinks start afterwards, they have something to talk about.
December is the busiest month of the year for staff outings, for venues, caterers and for us. If you plan in September or October, there's still plenty of choice of dates. If that's not possible, consider a New Year get-together in January. Diaries are quieter then, the year starts with something shared and nobody has to choose between three sets of Christmas drinks. We set up in your own building or in the space where the drinks are already planned. A compact set-up starts at €195.
What works well around the holidays
- A quiz about your company's past year
- A murder mystery dinner that flows naturally into drinks
- A TV-style game with that evening's teams
When to start
- For December, ideally as early as September or October
- For January, November is often still early enough
- Date first, the programme follows
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book a year-end outing?
For a date in December, September or October is a good time. Later is possible, but the choice of Fridays soon gets smaller, at venues and caterers too. For January, November is usually still in good time.
Can the game take place during the drinks themselves?
Preferably before. At the start of the evening everyone is still paying attention and the group is complete. After the game it flows naturally into drinks, with a prize-giving as the transition.
Can you include questions about our own company in the quiz?
Yes. You send us a few moments from the past year and we turn them into questions. Keep to things everyone experienced, otherwise only half the room will know what it's about.
What does a company outing around the holidays cost?
From €195 for the group for a compact set-up. The amount depends on the number of participants, the duration and which programme you choose. The time of year itself makes no difference to the price.
