Companies and institutions
Events and programmes with modern board games and escape games, to bring teams together, develop skills and create moments people remember. Every proposal is tailored to the organisation’s objectives.
Formats
For a different kind of day with the team, there are events with escape games or with board games. To train skills over time, there are Strategy Clubs and skills development programmes.
Évora only
A spy mission of about three hours through the historic centre of Évora, with an iPad and agent gadgets. At the end, an individual reflection questionnaire and a report for the organisation.
Event
Team building, company parties, networking and tournaments, with modern board games chosen for the group and for the organisation’s objectives.
Indoor event
Puzzles, codes and a mission against the clock, without leaving the event venue. Each team gets a kit with an iPad and materials.
Regular sessions
Regular sessions with modern board games, within the organisation and only for its own teams. Ideal for hybrid or remote teams.
Programme or modules
Strategic planning, communication, negotiation, stress management, goals and priorities, innovation and creativity, with modern board games.
Bespoke game
An original board game built around the theme the organisation wants to showcase. From theme to box, produced in a European factory.
Hotel or agency? We also offer partnerships to include the games in your clients’ programmes. Discover our partnerships
Why games
Modern board games reward decisions rather than luck, never knock players out and build the theme into the rules. Each game creates a safe environment where people decide under pressure, negotiate and handle incomplete information. That is where behaviour becomes visible, open to discussion and transferable to the workplace.
Builds trust between colleagues, in and out of the game.
To move forward, players have to explain, listen and negotiate.
Decisions are made under pressure and with incomplete information, with no real-world consequences.
Play lowers resistance to change and everyone stays in the game until the end.
Brings together people who do not usually work together.
The debriefing links what happened in the game to real work.
How we work
Every proposal starts by understanding the team and what it wants to work on.
Objectives, context and team make-up. Number of participants, date and venue.
Choice of the games and activities best suited to the group and its objectives.
Led by a qualified, experienced professional who explains the games and supports the teams.
At the end, a conversation that links what happened in the game to real work.
Where
Board game events, the indoor escape game and skills programmes take place wherever makes most sense for the organisation. The outdoor escape game is played in the historic centre of Évora.
We bring the games and all the materials. All you need is a room with tables and chairs for the group.
A hotel, an event venue or any other location the organisation chooses, anywhere in Portugal.
For board game events, we arrange the room at a hotel in Évora: all you need to do is bring the team. The session can be combined with a meeting or a retreat in the city.
A great idea to put board games to work on skills. Carrying what happens in the game over to the reality of our companies is very effective.
