Seattle Team Building
Team building activities or games can help improve productivity in a workplace. AdVenture Games, Inc. has delivered unique team building games for countless companies in various niche markets since 2005. These helpful business tools offer helpful solutions to companies that are looking for ways to successfully integrate new staff with existing ones. These helpful team building activities increase performance levels and improve productivity as a whole.
What do Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks and Boeing have in common? They were all founded in Seattle. What else do they have in common? The never before seen challenges that these trailblazing organizations faced along their respective paths to dominance in their industries. Seattle’s entrepreneurs and their teams are also well acquainted with the unique dilemmas that come with category creation and groundbreaking progress.
While we all know the founders of the titans born in the city, they didn’t build these behemoths alone. They had remarkable teams. If your company is aiming to be the next legendary organization born in the pacific northwest, it’s time to start looking into team building activities in Seattle and what they can do for your company. But your calendar is slammed, you have more emails than you can count and you don’t know where to start when it comes to team building.
That’s where Adventure Games comes in to solve the problem and handle all of your team building needs. A recent Gallup piece echoes what any manager, HR professional or executive has known for decades: employees stay at their job if they form meaningful friendships at work. So, why not leverage our one-of-a-kind approach to team building to facilitate the formation of those friendships?
It’s worked for some of the most successful companies in the country like Facebook, Google, HP and dozens of other Fortune 500 members. Our unique array of activities and expert facilitators arrange and execute experiences that are sure to increase cohesion, break the ice amongst employees and take organizational productivity to the next level.
SpyGame is one of our most popular games for good reason. It begins with what appears to be a normal meeting and then the employees turn on the television. On the screen is a video message from their boss who’s been kidnapped by a criminal syndicate. Teams are assembled and your staff must work together to walk around the city and gather intel in order to free their boss.
Then, in the middle of the game – just when the teams think they have a handle on the situation: the teams are alerted to the presence of a mole. Rooting out the mole while continuing to progress towards the goal is a world class lesson in both strategy and trust.
According to this recent study, employees in high-trust organizations are more energetic, more productive and collaborate better with their colleagues. Doesn’t that sound like the kind of culture you’d like to create at your company? Another recent study uses data to show that employee collaboration and engagement is directly connected to organizations innovating.
Innovation is what fuels the continued growth of your company. This is why SpyGame is the perfect solution for team building in Seattle. Who would have thought that in order to raise productivity, stabilize organizational trust and deepen your inter-office friendships that all you had to do was kidnap your boss?
Companies in every industry are all wildly different but they share a couple of things in common: 1. They require effective, well executed strategy to succeed in such a competitive space and 2. They all have offices. Our Office Escape game is the perfect indoor game for team building activities on those rainy days that Seattle is so well known for.
Your teams work hard in your office everyday, but is that office working hard for you? Give your team something fun to do that gets them out from behind their screens and also heightens productivity. And best of all, you can do while enjoying the finest of modern comforts: being warm and dry.
In this escape room style game employees are lured into what they believe to be a one hour meeting in a conference room only to learn that they’ve been trapped and must escape. Once the clock has started the teams are assigned and must work together to solve dozens of puzzles to get themselves out of the room.
With puzzles designed to necessitate a wide variety of different skill sets, your employees are forced to communicate in order to learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses. This time-sensitive collaboration is proven to improve interoffice cooperation and increase productivity by revealing the enormous potential of every company’s greatest asset: their human capital.
Whether Seattle is a destination or your company’s headquarters the city is brimming with places to eat, entertain and explore. Whether it’s breathtaking views from the ocean or mountains surrounding the city, world class dining or the quirky coffee shop for the perfect meeting – there are a lot of options to consider. So, let us lend a hand with a few of our favorite recommendations:
Where to Eat – Seattle has a ton of amazing restaurants. While picking a favorite restaurant in the city is tough, we had to go with May Kitchen & Bar. May’s place is as classy and cultured as Seattle and your team is guaranteed to thank you for the tantalizing delicacies tha await them on the menu.
Where to Stay – If you’re staying in Seattle we’d suggest spending your nights at the Inn at the Market. It’s the only hotel located in Seattle’s legendary Pike Place Market. Your team can unwind with an in-room massage or bask in the gorgeous views of the pacific northwest scenery from the rooftop deck. The complimentary town car service isn’t so bad either. Book a stay for yourself and your team, you won’t regret it.
Where to Play – Seattle is one of the rainiest cities on earth so you’ll need something fun to do indoors. Jet City Improv offers workshops that are a sure thing to have your team collaborating, laughing and making the kind of memories that will last a lifetime.
