Creative concepts
We have developed 5 creative event archetypes which can all be tailored to your team's specific needs.Detective GalaYear-end galas are great opportunities to look back on your team's achievements and celebrate in style. And although we love a night of wine & dine, we much prefer taking it up a notch by adding a mysterious game to it.That is why we designed a thrilling theme where guests can turn into characters of a detective story, investigating clues and solving puzzles besides enjoying the music, food and entertainment that comes with this distinguished event.
Detective GalaStupid HackathonPut your colleagues' knowledge, creativity and collaborative skills to the test, form the teams and let the game begin.At this event the teams will have to come up with an idea, have a rapid design sprint and create a working prototype to demonstrate their expertise - and all of this over the course of 8 hours.Oh and here comes the twist: it should have no value whatsoever.At our Stupid Hackathon, the craziest ideas deserve the most limelight and building something fun together will make the best memories.
