Virtual TeamBonding – Like Team Building, Only Better!

,

• Neighborhood: Edgewood, River West, Rosemont O'hare, Lincoln Park, Lincoln Square, River Front, Wrigleyville, South Loop, Wicker Park, Gold Coast, Old Town, Downtown Chicago, West Loop, Michigan Avenue, Logan Square, River North, Naperville, River East, Lakeview, Oak Park, Ravenswood, Schaumburg, Highland Park
• Description: "This one-of-a-kind virtual team building activity is a great choice for teams of all shapes and sizes. Once your event is scheduled, we ship out a complete kit for making mozzarella (or ricotta) to each member of your team. On the big day, they’ll open their kits and transform the high-quality ingredients into mouthwatering fresh cheese. With over 10 years’ experience, our cheesemakers really know their stuff. They also know just what it takes to engage remote teams while bringing fun to the table. Seriously, these engaging chefs provide the secret sauce you simply won’t find elsewhere. You’ll learn the real (and surprisingly funny) history of cheesemaking through the ages. A cheese trivia game show adds even more delicious comic relief. And this is about as close as you can get to instant gratification – your team will be able to enjoy their new gourmet creations right away, or use them in salads, on pizza or crackers. Just add WiFi, and maybe a glass or two of vino."

Horse racing may be an individual challenge, but our version is all about the teamwork. We divide your group into small teams, who compete with one another as they train horses, bet on race outcomes and even sabotage rivals. No real horse-racing experience is required, so every member of your group can feel good about jumping in. The event plays out over a series of races, with players interacting using their computers. Each race starts with a short overview of the track and conditions. Using this knowledge, teams work together to devise their race strategies. Everyone’s screens display constantly changing payouts, with updates of each horse’s speed, power, training and chances of winning each race. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement as players cheer, place bets, train their own horses or sabotage others. After six races have been run, the team with the most winnings takes their rightful place in the winners’ circle. The big takeaway? Teams are most successful when they plan and coordinate their actions together. We provide everything — Zoom link, engaging professional host and race software. You can rest easy, knowing we’ve got all the details covered.
