Our virtual events are conducted through your preferred online conference platform such as Zoom and MS Teams and with the use of our own in-house developed Web Apps for some activities and games which can easily be run through any internet browser. For the best experience and full functionality we recommend installing either Zoom or MS Teams and using either a desktop or laptop. Tablets and smart phones have access but contain less functionality. Upon confirmation of the event we send an email invitation with all the necessary instructions and links for participants to join. 

Normally online events take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours but depending on the package you select and with the option to include additional games, you can customize your online event to take between 1 hour up to a full day.

Throughout all our online events our professional and lively hosts provide your team with all the explanation, help, advice and coaching to be able to succeed.

For some activities like the Online Escape and Virtual Treasure Hunt they are there to give hints and keep track of time for other activities such as Minute To Win It and Lockdown gameshow they act as the MC who leads all the games that are included in the activity and keep track of the scoring.

In the Virtual Amazing Race we even have live challenge instructors for certain locations that demonstrate cultural activities and judge teams on their performance to move on in the race.

The event briefing is always conducted in the main virtual conference room prior to the start of the activity and includes instructions on the basic features of the conferencing software and best  practices during a virtual group activity i.e. sharing screen , turn on/off camera and mic. etc.

After some ice breaking games the lead facilitator then gives the instructions and objectives for the main activity, participants are separated into teams with their own virtual background and depending on the activity invited to their own team breakout room to start the main activity.

After the main activity breakout rooms are closed and participants rejoin the main conferencing room for the de-brief. During the de-brief shout-outs are given to top performing teams and individuals, the top three teams are announced and the winners awarded.

Briefing and de-brief usually take around 5-10 minutes each but can be extended upon request for more in-depth analysis of team performance or extended awarding ceremonies.

All our virtual activities have three package options to choose from; bronze, silver and gold, each with different inclusions with the main differences being the number of facilitators and duration. Contact Making Teams for more information or a quote today!
