Top 10 Most Popular Team Building Activities [Ranked]

The team building activities below are a great starting point for you when you’re thinking about launching something similar for your team. Most aren’t seasonal or dependent on location, but don’t hesitate to tailor any of them to your local scene!

1. Host a Mobile Scavenger Hunt

Everyone loves to get competitive with a list of challenges as part of a team building scavenger hunt! Mobile apps (like Scavify) make the planning and deployment process a cakewalk, and your participants can submit their responses via their smartphone in a variety of different, fun mediums (like photos, videos, and GPS check-ins). You can set the time parameters for the scavenger hunt in advance, and watch in real-time as all your teams progress!

Time Needed: Varies. As short as 30 min to a few hours, but you can also expand out to a longer activation that engages teams over the course of weeks or months.

Number of People: 5-unlimited

How to Get Started: The easiest way to organize your scavenger hunt is through Scavify. You can create your own customized list of challenges for teams to complete, use one of their turn-key solutions, or have their team create a customized experience for you.

Why You’ll Love it: The Scavify app can help you build the perfect scavenger hunting experience and your team can enjoy a variety of fun team building and knowledge-sharing experiences that they would not be able to access easily without our help.

What it Costs: Varies depending on team size. Scavify’s team is very responsive, so reach out to them and get a quick quote.

2. Escape from an Escape Room

Escape rooms have exploded in popularity over the last few years, in large part to their value as a fun team building activity - there’s nothing like being locked in a room with colleagues or other students to bond a team together as you try to solve the clues and make your way out! Many escape rooms have their own unique themes, and most cities have a variety of options from which you can choose (for location, time availability, etc.).

Time Needed: Varies. As short as 30 min to an hour.

Number of People: Best in groups of 4-8.

How to Get Started: Check out the top 10 escape rooms in the nation to see if any are near you. Otherwise, give a quick search for escape rooms in your local area. Once you select the location, choose the escape room theme and have fun. Alternatively, you could try to build your own version of this experience if you are really clever at story-building as well as creating puzzles that need to be solved. It can be hard to host your own, however, due to space constraints and energy that needs to be put into development.

Why You’ll Love it: This is an engaging and enjoyable way to create team building opportunities while teams are under pressure. People will reveal hidden skills and talents, and leadership opportunities will be everywhere for those who choose to take them during the process of solving the puzzles.

What it Costs: Typically, $25-30/person for an hour. Varies depending on if you work with an escape room company or build your own activity.

3. Race Around the Go-Kart Track

Speed demons in any office or campus environment will be first in line for a go-kart event in the name of a team building activity. All go-kart facilities obviously offer a racetrack, but a growing majority offer other secondary events as well to help groups make the most of an afternoon spent at the track. Races and relays can help get people to focus on one another and a common goal, and it’s a great photo op for groups as well.

Time Needed: 1-4 hours usually, but can make it a full day event.

Number of People: Usually 5-10 is the limit on the track simultaneously, but large groups can take turns and most places have multiple tracks.

How to Get Started: Find a go-kart location near you, like K1 Speed,  and then figure out how you will get your teams to the location to partake. It’s that easy! Consider making sure that the location has other things to do while your teams take turns racing one another. 

Why You’ll Love it: Who doesn’t like getting to drive fast and be silly just like on Mario Kart? This is a great activity that is whimsical and brings out a sense of fun and childlike humor in everyone who takes part in it.

What it Costs: Typically $24-60/person. Varies per location that offers the karts.

4. Sample Local Brews with a Brewery Tour

Upstart local breweries have been a favored trend nationwide, and teams everywhere are reaping the benefits in the form of casual, inexpensive (or free) brewery tours and tastings. A tour is typically a shorter engagement, with plenty of time to taste and discuss the beer varietals. This type of team building activity is great for all groups, but those in particularly high-stress or highly-regulated industries will find this low-key activity to be a breath of fresh air!

Time Needed: Varies. You can choose to make this an all-day event or just take a few hours to enjoy this kind of fun as a team.

Number of People: Go with a small team or take an entire organization. This will vary depending on your transportation options and other logistics.

How to Get Started: Just pick a tour guide, like City Brew Tours, that is already equipped for this kind of experience or you can create your own list of locations to visit and take your team with you for your brewery tour experience! Check out the top 50 craft breweries in the U.S.  and the 35 most popular craft breweries to see if any are near you like Goose Island, New Belgium, and Dogfish Head.

Why You’ll Love it: This is a really fun experience that taps into local connection-making with other businesses as well as support of your local community. This is a great opportunity for your teams to get to know one another and have casual fun.

What it Costs: Typically $15-75/person depending on whether you go with a guide or visit breweries directly. Also, varies depending on your daily plans and your local area.

5. Build Bikes or Skateboards for Charity

Not only does volunteering serve to give back to those in need in your local community, but it’s also a great way to enhance the relationships among your corporate or campus team. Doing good things has a way of making people feel good, and many volunteering opportunities are structured in a way that facilitates a high degree of social interaction (e.g., serving food at a soup kitchen, filling boxes at a meal delivery charity, etc.).

Time Needed: You can make this a one-time event or a regular experience. 

Number of People:1-unlimited.

How to Get Started: Choose to work with a local charity, one of the top charities in the country, volunteer group or create your own plans for volunteering. There are many great options out there these days. For example, Together We Rise helps build skateboards for local communities - not your typical volunteer program and super fun.

Why You’ll Love it: Nothing makes you feel better than giving back, and doing so as a team can create bonds between team members as well as with the local community. 

What it Costs: Usually only costs you your time and effort.

6. Find Team Flow with a Yoga Class

For those looking for a little zen, a yoga class is a perfect option for small-to-midsize teams of all activity and experience levels. Yoga is a great way to center the mind while stretching the body, and yoga studios are always excited to welcome new groups for a balanced and relaxing team building yoga experience!

Time Needed: 30 minutes to an hour

Number of People: 4-25 typically. Varies related to studio space

How to Get Started: Pick a yoga studio or use an online class like Glo or Yoga with Adriene that is hosted in a conference room at work. Get creative if you need to send a lot of people to classes and split them up into unique classes to make sure everyone gets to go.

Why You’ll Love it: Yoga creates relaxation as well as a shared community experience and your teams will love the chance to relax and connect.

What it Costs: Typically $15-25/hour per person. Varies depending on the studio and instructor and whether you go private.

7. Get Creative (and Tipsy) with Paint and Sip

Paint and Sip can be a great way to bond with friends. There is nothing that is more engaging than learning a new skill with team members and you will find that the results of some people’s efforts are delightfully funny. There is always that one person that is really good at painting with no practice, and everyone can have fun learning and polishing skills in this bonding activity. 

Time Needed: Usually about an hour

Number of People: Generally groups of 5-25. Varies depending on the instructor

How to Get Started: See if there are any paint and sip activity hosts, like Pinot's Palette, near you. Have your group choose a day and a painting and make sure that you can get everyone to the location for the class. The rest of the details are up to the instructor and the studio.

Why You’ll Love it: Painting with some wine involved is a lot of fun and your teams will have a chance to chat, learn a new skill and hang out for an hour while they work on a shared project.

What it Costs: Typically $25-50/hour per person.

8. Learn a New Dish with a Cooking Class

Everybody eats, and most people also like to cook. Even if they don’t, there’s something for everyone to learn in a cooking class. Most culinary schools or retail locations offer a variety of cooking classes at different times and price points, and without fail all attendees will get to eat the food at the end of the session (and leave with new recipes and cooking tricks in addition to the memories made throughout the process).

Time Needed: Varies but usually one to two hours

Number of People: 2-10 depending on location and space in classes

How to Get Started: Pick an online instructor or a local spot that teaches these classes and work with them to plan the cooking class for your teams. They will take care of all the details for you in most cases.

Why You’ll Love It: This is a really fun way to have your teams work together on a project that requires following instructions and problem-solving while getting to have fun at the same time.

What it Costs: $25-$100 in most cases. You may spend more for more complex cooking classes.

9. Go Crazy with Goat Yoga

This might seem like an outdoor experience, but there are goat yoga teachers who can lead classes inside as well. Goats are easy to transport and some goat yoga instructors will bring them to a set location for your team.

Time Needed: Usually just an hour.

Number of People: Groups of 5-25 in most cases are best.

How to Get Started: Find a goat yoga instructor and work with them to find an indoor location that will work for your event. There are also some groups that will travel to your location.

Why You’ll Love it:  Goats are naturally cheerful and they are fun to play with as you are led through the movements of the yoga class. This activity offers a sense of fun that you will not get from a regular yoga class.

What it Costs: Pretty similar to yoga instruction - around $20-30/person.

10. Tee Off Together at Topgolf

The driving range is a natural environment for some good chatting and drinking some light cocktails. Many people use driving ranges as a place to socialize and your teams will be no different. If you haven’t been to a TopGolf location before, they are designed around the idea of socializing with your group being the primary purpose and golf being more in the background. Tables and chairs near the tee box make it a super social atmosphere unlike traditional driving ranges.

Time Needed: A few hours

Number of People: 5-50 people usually.

How to Get Started: Plan your TopGolf visit by picking a location and time to reserve. Set the time and then just meet up.

Why You’ll Love It: This is an affordable way to allow your teams to enjoy some time doing something active together.

What it Costs: $25-75/per bay (tee area) per hour. This depends on the time of day you go and whether you want the premium locations or not. Entrance to a traditional driving range usually just costs the price of a bucket of balls which may run $5-25/bucket.

Team Building Activities for Work and the Office

Team building done in the office can be harder to make fun, but it is not impossible. You will have access to your own space that you can utilize as you want without a charge. You can also insert these activities into your daily work routine easily if you want to have your work activity at the end of a workday.

These kinds of activities are always thought of as being less fun due to being held at the office, but you will find that you can make sure that you set aside the right time and effort to make these opportunities just as fun as leaving work to go have fun.

10. Host a Cook-Off Competition

Everyone in an office likes a good, old-fashioned cook-off! Especially because everyone gets to enjoy the spoils at the end of the event. Task your employees with preparing a specific dish, and outline the criteria for determining the winner. Everyone will enjoy watching your employees jockey for first place, but not as much as they’ll enjoy eating everyone’s submissions at the end of judging.

Time Needed: You can choose how to organize this activity. It can be an entire day’s activity or just a small part of your day.

Number of People: unlimited

How to Get Started: Pick a theme like a chili cook-off, and then make sure you know who is bringing food. The rest is up to your team to eat and vote!

What it Costs: Free.

11. Quiz the Team with Office Trivia

In-office trivia is a fabulous way to give your team an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge in whatever area you’d like! Pop culture is an easy starting point, but you can get specific in the arts, history, corporate culture, or organizational information. You can hire a trivia company, or create your own questions and answers, depending on your budget and scale.

Time Needed: Up to you

Number of People: unlimited

Catch Phrase is a guessing game that typically uses a handheld device (although you can create your own phrase options, if you like) and tasks your teams (divided up into two groups) to guess a phrase or item based on a number of clues. The team with the most points at the end of gameplay is the winner, but everyone will enjoy the fun as people make off-the-wall guesses in an attempt to win.

Time Needed: Up to you

Number of People: unlimited in most cases unless your team is huge.

What it Costs: Free or the price of the original game.

13. Test Your IQ with Team Jeopardy

Jeopardy is the classic game that turns the trivia format on its head by requiring the answer be stated in the form of a question (among a few other minor differences, like the category grid). There are a number of computer programs that will create a Jeopardy-style structure for your teams to use in competition with one another, and you can dictate the categories to serve whatever purposes you’d like (e.g., corporate information, campus specialties, etc.).

Time Needed: 30 minutes

Number of People: unlimited in most cases

How to Get Started: Jeopardy is a classic game that everyone is familiar with.

14. Sharpen Persuasion Skills with an Office Debate

How to Get Started: Debates can be easy to create for your team. Just offer a poll for discussion topics before you start the meeting or bring up topics that you have gotten feedback about. Let your teams discuss! Take a look at some top debate topics to get the juices flowing.

Why You’ll Love It: This is a great way to allow your teams to discuss fun topics or serious topics to both bond and discuss things that need to be chatted about. This is a great way to bring up tough topics without pressure or antagonistic feelings.

What it Costs: Free.

15. Make a Short Film with an iPhone

Managers are often hesitant to ask employees to create videos, but you’d be surprised what they’ll come up with when given the opportunity! Create a simple outline for what you want to see in each short film, divide them into groups, and you’ll soon capture the joint benefits of a more collaborative team and a collection of fun videos.

Time Needed: varies

Number of People: unlimited in most cases

How to Get Started: Making a movie requires that your teams make a plan to determine what the topics will be for the movie or what the script is. The rest can be ad-libbed as needed. Most smartphones have video editing apps built directly in, like iMovie for the iPhone, that will allow you to quickly and easily stitch a movie together. For inspiration, watch the above video shot entirely on an iPhone.

Why You’ll Love It: This is a very creative kind of group activity and your teams will have lots of opportunities to work together collaboratively as they make their movie. 

What it Costs: Can be very low cost or you can invest some money into making a real movie if you want to do so. Movie equipment can be expensive, so you might need to use someone’s phone and a cheap or free video editor.

16. Reflect with Campfire and Memory Wall

This game serves as both a fun team building event as well as a valuable employee appreciation activity. Ask each employee to write or draw a positive memory they have of working on the team and/or with their colleagues.

18. Innovation (Google) Fridays

Google has implemented what is known as the Google 20% project. They allow employees to allocate 20% of their paid time to personal projects. The purpose is to unlock innovation by freeing employees up to work on passion projects. Based on Google’s financial track record, we’d say it’s working. This can be a really great way for your teams to get a chance to create and unwind at the same time. It can also help improve employee engagement. When you work with creatives, it can be important to make sure that they take the time to work on things they feel passionate about. Often these passion projects lead to new ideas and technologies that you can implement or expand later as well.

Time Needed: Google allots 20% of total time. Let that be your guide.

How to Get Started: Just decide when to begin hosting these events and invite your teams to partake. You can bring in food and drink if you want to make the day an event or you can just let people work on what they feel like and socialize as they do so.

Why You’ll Love it: Creatives are always willing to devote lots of effort and inspiration to ideas that matter to them, and you will be allowing your teams to work on items that they are interested in rather than work that they have to do.

What it Costs: Free unless you cater in food. Food can cost you anywhere from $100-$500 for normal size groups.

Corporate Team Building Activities

19. Practice Pitching with Shark Tank

This is the ultimate business plan competition! You can divide up your team into different groups, and task them with creating and presenting their very own business plan to a group of judges (who may judge nicely or harshly, depending on how high you want the stakes to be). It’s a great venue for collaboration, and you’ll find that people can be very creative when they know they’ll be in front of the judges explaining their ideas. This hyper-focused, shark-style pitch process has led to some of the most successful products available today. You never know what your team might unlock for your organization in the process.

Time Needed: varies

What it Costs: Free

20. Blindfold Tent Build

This challenge is exactly what it sounds like: your team (in small groups) will be given a tent to erect while blindfolded. They’ll need to work together and use a different part of their brain to figure out how to construct the tent without their eyesight. The debrief is an important part of the exercise too, as it gives everyone a chance to reflect on what the experience taught them.

Time Needed: varies

Number of People: unlimited in most cases

What it Costs: You will just have the cost of the tents to budget, which should be around $50-75.

21. Professional Development Hackathon

Hackathons are standard practice in the coding realm, where people spend an entire day on a specific project or projects. A professional development hackathon is this very thing, except the focus is on sharing and learning skills that are vital for professionals in the workplace.

Time Needed: varies

Number of People: unlimited in most cases

How to Get Started: You can choose to offer up food and drink for this, but mostly you just need to invite your teams to a day of creative license and working hard to make the best and most complete projects by the end of the day. Check out the WeWork hackathon guide or TechCrunch’s guide for some expanded ideas on getting started. While most guides are catered to the computer programming variety, you can easily adapt to different experiences like professional development.

Why You’ll Love it: Creative license can really inspire your teams and you will probably be amazed at what they can get done when they are allowed to spend a whole day working on ideas that they feel excited by.

What it Costs: Free unless you decide to cater food.

22. Launch a Podcast

Podcasts are a great medium for conveying information, and what better way to help your team focus on a vital concept or topic than by recording it in a fun and informational format? Many sound recordings can be made without expensive equipment, and the end result is great to keep for future use!

Number of People: unlimited in most cases

How to Get Started: You will need to invest in some equipment to do the recordings, and then you just need to decide who is working on which parts of the process. The rest is up to your teams! Check out RollingStone’s podcast equipment guide for more insight on the equipment needed, but you’ll need things like foam panels, microphones, computer, noise-canceling headphones and audio software, depending on how professional you want to get. Alternatively, just use your iPhone’s built-in recording for budget-friendly launches.

Why You’ll Love it: Podcasts are a great way to do business outreach and this project can teach your teams to collaborate and have fun working together on shared projects.

What it Costs: Varies a lot based on the quality you’re looking to achieve. Can easily be over $100 if looking to go pro. Startup costs for the equipment needed and some minimal supportive costs for a podcast platform to share it on.

23. Rent a Major League Baseball Ballpark for the Day

Baseball can be a great pastime to enjoy as a group and it is not that expensive in most cases to rent a local ballpark. You might even be able to find one that is open to the public and just drop by! This is a great chance to let your teams pick who they want to play the game with and then enjoy a simple little game of baseball. Getting out into the sun and enjoying some teamwork and bonding while playing a game is a great way to increase team unity and happiness.

Time Needed: a few hours or a day

Number of People: Might need to limit to two teams

How to Get Started: Twins minor-league affiliate listed their ballpark on Airbnb as a rental and offered full access to the field and the clubhouse.

Outdoor Team Building Activities

26. Take a Kayaking Trip

A kayak trip is a low-key way of getting your employees into the great outdoors (and on the water to boot).

Time Needed: varies

Number of People: unlimited in most cases

How to Get Started: You will need to find a space to play and provide the balls. You’ll also want to order a kickball from Amazon. The rest is easy!

What it Costs: Possible space rental and gear purchase. Local gyms might offer rental of their space for about $50, but you should always call ahead to see if you need to pay more for gear rental or space rental at your chosen location.

28. Hit the Beach

For those lucky enough to be in a coastal area (or at least by a very large lake), the beachfront is a great place for your team to spend a few hours. There is a tremendous amount of beach activities (swimming, sand volleyball, football, etc.) but the waves of the water bring out a chattiness in people that helps foster a sense of community.

Time Needed: A few hours to a full day.

Number of People: unlimited 

How to Get Started: Choose a beach location and make some plans for the activities that will be done while you are there. You can have beach volleyball teams arranged or maybe your group just wants to go and sit in the sun. Check out some of the best beach rentals in the U.S. if you want to go all out and make a weekend trip of it.

Why You’ll Love it: The beach is just naturally fun and relaxing and everyone will love getting the chance to take a break and unwind in this beautiful environment.

What it Costs: Usually low cost unless you cater food or rent a beach house. Catered food can be anywhere from $100-$300 for most of these kinds of groups and a beach house might add around $2,500 to your tab.

29. Pass the S'mores on a Camping Trip

For outdoor enthusiasts, a camping trip is the epitome of a great getaway. It’s also great for smaller teams, because it provides a change of scenery, some fresh air, and a new set of challenges (if people don’t work together on an outdoor camping outing, it means they can’t do important things like eat and sleep).

Although skiing sometimes requires a bit of experience (and willingness), for teams where the skiing affection is high, it’s a great outdoor outing for team building and some fun on the side.

31. Build a Bonfire

A bonfire is a prerequisite for a s’more, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who isn’t a fan of the delicious treat. However, a bonfire on its own is still a great facet of an outdoor team build outing, as it brings out an instinctive drive to create a flame and sit and talk around the fire.

Time Needed: a few hours

What it Costs: $50-250/person depending on the sport, quality of the team, and general popularity of the upcoming game. Transport and tickets can add up for this idea, depending on the sport. If you have the budget, you can also upgrade to corporate boxes.

34. Run the Bases with a Softball Game

Between the group instruction, hanging out on the beach before and after, and the fun wipeouts, surfing will surely provide a fun experience for your team.

The driving range is a natural environment for some good chatting and drinking some light cocktails. Many people use driving ranges as a place to socialize and your teams will be no different. If you haven’t been to a TopGolf location before, they are designed around the idea of socializing with your group being the primary purpose and golf being more in the background. Tables and chairs near the tee box make it a super social atmosphere unlike traditional driving ranges.

Time Needed: A few hours

43. Fly High with Indoor Skydiving

47. Sneak a Peek Game

This fun team building activity requires only a few sets of building blocks and the creativity and communication acumen of your participants. Divide your group up into smaller teams (4-8 people) and give each their own set of blocks.

It’s best played in smaller groups, and it requires that the group give hints about the name of a song or movie displayed on the phone (which is held by the guesser on his or her forehead). The entire process is timed to see how many items the guesser can correctly identify, and the shenanigans are recorded by the phone’s camera for highly entertaining playback after each round.
