We know questions come up about our team building activities. Here are the answers to the most common ones, so you have all the information you need. And if anything is still unclear, do get in touch.
Why run a team building activity?
Team Building has its roots in the 1920s, when it began to be used in a military context to improve the effectiveness of units. The idea was to build trust, communication and co-operation between the members of a team in order to improve their performance under high pressure.
Over time, Team Building has been adapted for use in different contexts, including business. In companies, Team Building has become a valuable tool for improving the effectiveness of working teams, because it can help increase motivation, trust and collaboration among team members.
Team Building can benefit a company in several ways. For instance, it can help improve communication and collaboration between team members, which can translate into greater effectiveness in teamwork. It can also help foster trust and self-confidence among team members, which can improve the team’s motivation and performance.
On top of that, Team Building can help build closer and longer-lasting relationships between team members, which can improve team dynamics and morale. It can also help resolve conflicts between team members, which can improve the team’s effectiveness.
In short, Team Building is a valuable tool for improving the effectiveness of working teams within a company. It can help improve communication, collaboration, trust and self-confidence, build closer and longer-lasting relationships, and resolve conflicts. By improving the team’s effectiveness, Team Building can contribute to improving a company’s performance and success.

Where do the team building activities take place?
The activities are run on site, which means we travel to wherever the event is being held. They can take place indoors or outdoors. We are happy to help by sharing venues we have already worked in. We are specialists in what we do: running and designing Team Building activities for companies.
We travel across the whole of Spain, and if you do not have a venue yet we can help you find a suitable one
How much does a team building activity cost?
That depends on two factors: the number of participants and the middlemen. On that second point, we are not an agency, so you will be dealing with the provider of the service directly. We are professionals with a passion for our work and more than 20 years of experience, and we will propose a one-off activity. No middlemen! That is how we can offer the best value for money. Every activity is unforgettable, and you will not find the same thing anywhere else. Get in touch and we will put together a quote that fits your idea, your team and the objectives you want to achieve with the activity. Because it is about having fun, yes, but also about achieving something big. And that is our speciality: running activities that strengthen teams while everyone has an incredible time.
Is there a limit on the number of participants?
That depends very much on the activity chosen. You will find more detail on each activity’s own page. For example, HAKA Team Building can be run with thousands of people — we have done a HAKA with 2,000! Watch this video
How long does a team building activity usually last?
Every meeting and every event has a different agenda and we aim to adapt, as long as the duration does not affect the outcome of the activity, in our judgement. Ideally we would have between half an hour and two hours. On average, most activities last between one and two hours.
