Around The World – Virtual Team Building Activity

Embark on a virtual globe-trotting journey around the world, visiting 22 countries across 40,000 virtual miles while putting your team cohesion, knowledge of the world, and creative juices to the test! Around the World has international flavour and diversity at its heart – and resonates well with our Corporate clients alike.

Starting in sunny Argentina, each country contains a series of tasks & challenges to earn enough Travel Credits to make it to their next destination. The more points you win – the further afield you can travel. Tasks can be unlocked using the image recognition functionality in our App.

Before jetting onto the next destination, teams will each have the opportunity to reveal their next destination from a medley of cryptic clues – to get the ticket for their next journey for free!
