Are you looking for inspiration for a corporate event that’s a bit out of the ordinary? A good corporate event is about more than just getting together. It’s about laughing together, tackling a challenge together and going home with a shared experience. Here are seven ideas for a fun corporate event in Copenhagen that will strengthen team spirit and put people at the heart of the experience. 🕵️♂️
1) Solve a mystery at a historic location
How well do you actually know each other under pressure? A Mystery Hunt sends you off to iconic locations such as Christiansborg Palace, Kronborg Castle or Thorvaldsens Museum, where you’ll have to decipher clues and solve puzzles along the way. It’s teamwork, excitement and a cultural experience all rolled into one. Up to 150 players can take part in the same game, and if there are more of you, we’ll split you into parallel teams so that even very large groups can join in. Several of the experiences are also available in English, so international teams can take part on an equal footing.
2) Get locked in an escape room
Can your team crack the codes before time runs out? A Mystery Room offers 60 intense minutes where everyone has to play their part if you’re to escape. It’s the perfect exercise in teamwork, communication and logical thinking, and it’s ideal for smaller teams who want to work closely together.
3) Combine an activity with a company lunch
Why choose? Start the day with a Mystery Hunt out and about in the city, and round it off with lunch or dinner at one of Copenhagen’s many restaurants. You’ll get some exercise, share an experience together and have a natural opportunity to carry on chatting over a good meal.
4) Send the team on a treasure hunt in the countryside
In summer, the city’s parks provide the perfect setting. A Mystery Hunt in Kongens Have or at Kastellet offers fresh air, exercise and plenty of laughs as you solve puzzles along the way. It’s an easy and sociable way to bring the team together.
5) Create an occasion to celebrate a milestone
Have you achieved a goal, welcomed new colleagues or completed a major project? Make it a memorable occasion with a shared experience instead of the traditional reception. An activity that everyone takes part in leaves a very different impression to speeches and toasts.
6) Pit the departments against each other
A bit of friendly competition works wonders for team spirit. Split the company into teams and let them compete in the same Mystery Hunt. Who will solve the mystery the quickest? It boosts morale, encourages cross-departmental conversation and produces a winner who’ll be remembered at the next company event.
7) Welcome new colleagues with a shared experience
Have you welcomed any new faces recently? Onboarding doesn’t have to be all about meetings and staff handbooks. A shared experience, where new and existing colleagues solve puzzles side by side, is a far more effective way of bringing the team together from day one. You get to know each other when you work together to crack a code. And if you have international colleagues, several of these experiences are available in English, so everyone is on an equal footing.
How to find the right corporate event
Think about three things: how many of you there are, whether you want to be indoors or outdoors, and what you’d like to take away from the experience afterwards. Smaller groups get the most out of a Mystery Room, whilst larger groups thrive on a Mystery Hunt across the city. And if you’re looking for something to do all year round, the indoor venues are always a sure-fire hit.
As Plato said:
“You can learn more about a person in an hour’s play than in a year’s conversation.”
With a 4.7-star rating from 287 reviews on Google and clients such as Novo Nordisk and Netcompany, you can be sure that your corporate event is in safe hands. ⭐️
