The corporate rally: building team spirit through play

The corporate rally is far more than a simple team buildingactivity. It’s an immersive experience that builds team spirit while exploring local heritage. Let’s dive into the concept of cultural team building, with a closer look at the team building rally, the corporate treasure hunt and everything they have to offer!

What is a corporate rally?

A corporate rally is an activity where team members work together to solve puzzles, complete challenges and uncover hidden treasures in a given location. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, play and learning.

What a corporate rally sets out to achieve

The main aim of a corporate rally is to strengthen team spirit. But the benefits go much further than that:

01
Stronger team cohesion

Participants get to know each other better, work together and solve problems as a team.

02
Cultural discovery

By exploring cultural venues, participants gain a deeper appreciation of local heritage.

03
Creativity and thinking

Puzzles and challenges spark creativity and critical thinking.

04
Time management

Teams have to manage their time well to succeed.

Cultural team building: learn while you play

The cultural team building approach is an innovative way to bring teams together. It combines the educational side of cultural discovery with the fun of games and interactive challenges.

How a cultural team building day unfolds

  1. Forming the teams : participants are split into teams, encouraging diversity and interaction between colleagues from different departments.
  2. Choosing the venue : the rally location is carefully chosen for its cultural significance. It might be an old town, a museum or a historic site.
  3. Puzzles and challenges : each team receives a series of puzzles and challenges to solve. They’re designed to showcase the cultural side of the venue.
  4. Exploration and discovery : teams set off on their adventure, exploring the venue, solving puzzles and uncovering hidden treasures, as in “Les Mystères d’Orsay“.
  5. The debrief : at the end of the activity, all the teams come together to debrief, share their experiences and the lessons they’ve learnt.

The team building rally: a one-of-a-kind experience

The team building rally is a variation on cultural team building. It focuses on solving puzzles and challenges outdoors, often against the clock.

The benefits of a team building rally

  • A boost to team spirit : participants have to work together to succeed, which strengthens cohesion.
  • Exploring the surroundings : a team building rally encourages people to discover new places, which can be genuinely inspiring.
  • Managing pressure : the time pressure of a rally sharpens stress management and fast decision-making.

Corporate treasure hunt: mixing business with pleasure

The corporate treasure hunt is another take on the corporate rally. It can be customised to meet your company’s specific objectives.

Customising your corporate treasure hunt

  • Company themes : the treasure hunt can be built around themes linked to your company, reinforcing its values and culture.
  • Educational messages : educational messages or company information can be woven into the puzzles.
  • Rewards and recognition : winning teams can receive prizes, which adds an extra layer of motivation.

Corporate rally: who is it for, and why?

The corporate rally suits companies of every size. It’s ideal for:

  • Team building : to improve communication and collaboration within a team.
  • Motivating your people : by offering a different, exhilarating experience.
  • Onboarding new employees : by helping newcomers get to know the company and their colleagues.

Cultural treasure hunt: the art of discovery

The cultural treasure hunt is a deep dive into local heritage. It lets participants discover the history and culture of a place in a playful way.

Perfect settings for a cultural treasure hunt

  • Old towns : picturesque streets and historic buildings make the perfect backdrop.
  • Museums and galleries : artworks and exhibitions can be built into the game.
  • Historic sites : from castles to ruins, every place has a story to tell.

Team building facilitation: the key ingredient

L’team building facilitation plays an essential part in the success of a corporate rally. Facilitators guide the teams, create a positive atmosphere and make sure everything runs smoothly.

Come together, discover together!

The corporate rally offers far more than a day of entertainment. It’s a chance to bring teams together while discovering local heritage in a truly engaging way. For a team building experience that’s both memorable and rewarding, the corporate rally is hard to beat.

They played the game with Arcane

Anne-Catherine P.

In an exceptional setting, the Parador de Sigüenza near Madrid, Arcane took us into a game highlighting the importance of security and the way HP business PCs protect their users; a unique and hugely successful experience! Thank you to the Arcane team!

Elise A.

We called on Arcane for our end-of-year offsite. It had been an intense year for our employees and we wanted an activity that would bring them together around the company's values, while showing our sincere thanks for everything they'd achieved. Arcane recommended “The Last Show”, which was adapted to the venue we'd booked. The team really listened and paid close attention to our needs. Our 150 employees loved the experience and had a genuinely fun time!

Morgan S.

In March 2020, all our teams found themselves working from home and we quickly sensed a weariness setting in from that daily distance. We asked Arcane for an adventure that would treat our employees and rebuild connections — all remotely! We played “Crime et l'Écrivain” online and I have to say the feedback was extremely positive!

Stéphane R.

My team and I played the War Game. I have to say I was blown away by how much this game reveals people's skills! As a manager, I got to (re)discover my team from a whole new angle.Stéphane R.
