Now we don’t like to blow our own trumpet about our team building activities. But, with over 500 reviews from our Reviews.io (average 4.88/5) platform and Google Reviews (average 4.9/5). We’d say they are pretty well received.
Zing Events did an absolutely incredible job of delivering an ‘Escape Box’ team-building exercise to my group of 200(!) at one of our Spotify internal conferences. The attendees loved it. I would thoroughly recommend them for your team-building activities.
Whilst there are many companies with virtual gaming offerings – I could not find one with better Reviews – trusted by world class businesses too. ZING did not disappoint and exceeded expectations. OUTSTANDING.
Great ‘Escape the Box’ activity run by Zing to close our 3 day meeting in Dubai which consisted of 150 participants. Made for a very high energy and exciting finish.
We will definitely leverage them again in the future!
“Competitive team building doesn’t just create fun moments; it sparks healthy competition, which has been proven to improve employee engagement. Studies show that teams with high engagement are 23% more profitable and 17% more productive than those with lower engagement levels. The boost in energy and motivation can lead to better communication, problem-solving, and trust among team members. And who wouldn’t want that for their workplace?”
