Company outing
in Leiden
At knowledge organisations, lots of people switch off at the very word team building. For them we build tasks with substance. From €195 for the group.
A company outing for a group that would rather think
Leiden is a university city with lots of knowledge institutions, research companies and offices, and the people working there roll their eyes at the very mention of team building. A company outing with ropes, blindfolds and trust exercises goes down badly there. What does work is a programme where thinking pays off. Puzzles you can only solve together, a quiz with questions you can reason your way through, a scavenger hunt through the city centre with riddles along the way. People then work together naturally, without anyone telling them that's the point.
Leiden's city centre is compact, so a scavenger hunt can be done on foot and ends in a room where the quiz takes place. That can be at your office, in a company canteen or in a café with a private room. Leiden is about two and a half hours' drive from our workshop in Enschede, and we're ready well before the start. From you we need a number of participants, a time slot and a rough idea of the group. A compact format starts at €195.

Frequently asked questions
Our colleagues hate team building, so will this work?
For most people a programme with puzzles and a quiz doesn't feel like team building, and that's why it works. People work together because the task requires it, without anyone announcing it. We deliberately leave out any exercises that smell of a training course.
How difficult are the puzzles?
The puzzles are tricky enough to discuss and not so hard that a team gets stuck. We match the level to the group and keep hints up our sleeve for a team that spends too long on one problem.
Can the programme take place at our own office?
Most of the programme can take place at the office, in a meeting room or canteen. The scavenger hunt through the city centre is an option if you're close to the centre. Otherwise we replace it with an extra puzzle round indoors.
What does a company outing in Leiden cost?
A compact company outing starts at €195. The number of participants and the length determine the final price. After the first conversation you'll get a concrete price.
