Urban Game Team Building

City Game: adventure in the city

Urban Game Team Building, also called City Game, is somewhat similar to Treasure Hunt and is probably one of our favorite corporate team building formats. It is a creative and exciting adventure that takes place in a city of art, an interesting area to visit, or even anywhere the client wants to go. Discovering a city, new or old, while doing various kinds of creative tasks with your colleagues or friends is probably one of the best ways to spend a day together.

Most of the time, even if we have been to a city before, we have not been able to see everything and, likewise, we cannot know everything about it either. It may hide mysteries and curiosities, but we will only be able to learn about them by asking the locals.

This is one of the many things that team members will have to do while participating in our Urban Game Team Building.

We have already conquered major Italian and foreign art cities with our urban team building events: we have held them, for example, in Milan, Venice, Rome, Turin, Florence, Como and Lucca. Outside Italy we have already been to several cities such as Barcelona, Istanbul and Prague, to the island of Malta and even to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. But we don’t plan to stop here: we are a young team, we love to travel and we are always ready to go on a new adventure. Are you coming with us?

Urban Game Team Building: an unconventional guided tour

Visiting the city with an urban team building activity means having an experience that has little in common with the usual sightseeing tour. Participants will, yes, discover the city’s most interesting sights, its historical monuments and the most beautiful perspectives. But this will not happen in the form of a sightseeing tour with explanations given by a guide, but rather in a playful, interactive and fun form.

Each team will receive a map of the city and a set of creative tasks that they will have to perform along the way. These tasks will require extensive use of imagination! Participants will have to take advantage of the city’s monuments and even the help of its inhabitants to solve the riddles and perform the tasks as creatively as possible. For each task they will be given a score, which will be tallied at the end to choose the winning team!

Technology by our side for Urban Game iPad!

In addition, our team building City Game involves the use of the latest technology, particularly an iPad. This makes possible greater interaction between the various teams spread across the city, which can send each other messages, photographs, and jokes of various kinds. The iPad also allows us to take advantage of the effects of so-called augmented reality, that is, adding virtual elements to the reality around us.

In recent years many of us have discovered augmented reality. This is a visual effect that uses the camera of our device (phone or, as in this case, iPad) to show on the screen elements that we can actually see around us (buildings, trees or people) and also adds to them elements that we do not actually see.

By framing an image, we can see another image appear in its place, or even see it come alive in a video! But there’s more, we can also see a 3D object appear in front of us, and we can rotate it and look at it from all sides.

It will usually be “hovering” above us, and team members must “capture” it with the iPad. The captured object will in fact be present, then, in the inventory and will in turn allow participants to unlock clues or evidence.

Certainly, it will bring a lot of benefits for the team to be in a completely new place, outside the usual office environment. In addition, it will be surprising to discover qualities and skills in their colleagues that have always remained hidden.

Another format: Urban Movie Making

Not only iPads, another particular Urban Game format is one in which you use the urban setting to shoot a movie! In fact, this activity is actually called Urban Movie Team Building.

With materials and technical support provided by our trainers, participants film their impressions of the city. The goal is to create a really short commercial or movie with a basic idea, plot and some main characters. First, each team will decide on the concept and write the script. Then the participants will choose which of them will be actors and which of them will be behind the camera.

Each role is very important because success depends on the combined efforts of everyone. In addition, some participants will have to take care of the music and special effects in order to turn their commercial into a real cinematic gem.

Key factor of teambuilding Movie Making, first of all, is the need to divide tasks within the group. It is also very important to communicate and share ideas without rigid corporate hierarchies. Not even the greatest director in Hollywood can create a movie without his team!

Our most recent videos

Matera

Known worldwide for the historic Sassi, it is one of the oldest still-inhabited cities in the world. Matera is at the center of an incredible rocky landscape that preserves a great heritage of culture and traditions, representing an extraordinary page written by man through the millennia of this very long history.

Como

Located on the southern end of the western branch of Lake Como, in a small basin, this town is of ancient origin.

Tourist activity is also highly developed, particularly in one of the main squares, from which all boats depart for the tour on one of the largest lakes in Europe.

Verona

A UNESCO heritage city and the birthplace of Romeo and Juliet, Verona, with its out-of-town territories, is also history, culture, music, architecture and worldliness. The Roman remains are among the most important in northern Italy, and among them, the Arena still contributes to the city’s intense cultural life.
