Race Around the World: As the team explores the world
Virtual team-building with a global spirit of discovery
Race Around The World is a virtual team-building event in which teams compete against one another as explorers on a digital journey around the world, putting their strategy, communication and teamwork to the test under time pressure. The event has been specially designed for teams who work together virtually. It promotes a sense of togetherness and virtual communication in an entertaining and varied way. Remote staff step out of their usual roles and interact with one another in an informal manner.
Strategy and decision-making under time pressure
Each team decides for itself which challenges to take on during the journey. The Train Challenge in Montreal is worth 75 points, the Car Challenge in Washington 100 points and the Ship Challenge in Vancouver a whopping 150 points. A bonus city can also be unlocked, which earns additional points. A countdown clock at each stage keeps the team on their toes. This means the team must plan quickly, process information efficiently and work together to develop the best strategy.
Creative tasks and global knowledge
As well as strategic decisions, the teams also face creative challenges. Photos and videos are captured and submitted directly via the app. At the same time, the team gathers interesting facts about the cities they visit and organises this information so that it can be accessed quickly when needed. This creates a blend of competition, creativity and a spirit of global discovery that sets the event apart from traditional online formats.
Flexible and usable worldwide
The event runs via our award-winning Go Team app, which is available free of charge from both the App Store and the Google Play Store. Teams communicate via a video conferencing tool of their choice, whilst the game runs simultaneously on tablets or smartphones. This means that virtual team-building can be carried out from anywhere in the world, whether from a home office, from different locations or as part of a hybrid event format.
