Team Building Activities

There are many team building activities and ideas across the internet for teams to explore. We are not going to dive into the merits of each one of them. We are going to propose ideas that work with Virtual Reality Entertainment.

Apsis VR and Viri VR have been conducting team building activities for several organisations from 2019. We have done this at our venue and also can do this at your venue too. Several brand name companies have come to our venue to experience team building activities.

Virtual Reality Team Building Ideas

It has been a challenge for most organisations to conduct team building activities in a face to face setting ever since COVID. As most people work from home for part or all of their time. However the lack of face to face engagement over extended period of time could have a negative impact on team productivity. It also does not give an opportunity for team members to get to know each other especially their shared interest that might help them to build stronger working relationships.

Using virtual reality entertainment teams can explore the following team building ideas :

For 45 Minutes : Replace an office meeting with team building activity

  • VR Escape Rooms : Fun short 45 minute VR escape rooms solving puzzles to complete a mission as a team that involves problem solving, communication and helping each other.
  • Multi Player Arcade Games : Just relax by playing together with some friendly competition to become the leading team in a leader board. Build that never give up attitude and a competitive workforce.
  • VR Holiday : Due to current cost of living crisis, provide the opportunity for team members to go on a VR holiday to see some of the amazing places in the world in a VR head set. Help have fun and enjoyment.
  • VR Nature : Explore the world nature of oceans, mountains, Savannah, beaches and many of the natural wonders to relax and destress.
  • VR Activity : Enjoy sports, dancing and over come hear of heights using The Plank. More team work and fun activities.

Over 2-3 hours : Team Building and Team Bonding

If you have a team of 8 to 12 then you can do the above 45 minute activity and then have a meal and drinks at some of our partner restaurants at Flinders Lane near Queen Street. This can be a team bonding activity where everyone can have their favourite conversations and discuss about the activity they have just completed. How they would apply to work etc.

At Apsis VR we can conduct team facilitation activities on how to apply some of our escape room principles based on the escape room you did at our place.

At the christmas party then awards can be given to certain categories like the most creative team, the funniest team, competitive team etc etc. Over this period, the company has the opportunity to raise the engagement level of their staff and create a positive morale.

Team Development

So many organisations go through multiple restructures in the hope to increase organisation productivity. But before restructures they need to first restructure their team engagement and empowerment activities. There is a great opportunity for a company to use team building activities to increase engagement, participation and increase team productivity. Overall team development takes place over time not via just a one off team building activity. Team development activities help them to re-engage and re-energise as a team especially after a difficult project or restructure with a set of carefully established multiple team building activities.

  • Create A Team Building Program : Instead of having a one off team building activity, try to establish a team building program over a quarter or year to try our different escape rooms that would address different team behaviours.
  • Utilise Competitive Leaderboards : We can create competitive leaderboards to encourage team members to have fun but also build their competitive strength for work.
  • Offer VR Break To Recharge : Offer those coming into office the opportunity for them to have a VR Break with their co-workers helping to build cross functional team collaboration and keeping them energised at work

Apsis VR can provide a comprehensive team building program with multiple activities to support you to :

  • Build a competitive workforce
  • A more connected workforce
  • Support engagement via inclusion and diversity
  • Increase team productivity

By introducing friendly & fun competitive activities with leaderboards, a company can have a 1-4 week period for teams to do certain team building activities like escape rooms, arcade games and racing cars, flight simulators in teams across the organisation leading up to a company awards ceremony for major product launches, completion of programs or significant company milestones like mergers and acquisitions.

Workplace Team Building Activities

Some organisations have a great opportunity to just establish VR activities at their venue in a much more cost effective manner with companies like Apsis VR. We offer managed services VR Team Building Hubs that help organisations to encourage staff to do all the above activities at their workplace.

We can help an organisation set a VR Team Building Hub in a very short time frame so please contact us at info@apsisvr.com.
