6 Fun Team Building Activities in Arizona

[Rebecca Brown]

If you want to promote bonding, creativity, and communication among employees, team building is the way to go. Fun team building activities give your team a chance to create fond memories over which they’ll crack jokes for years to come.

But, how do you choose an activity which everyone will like? You need a place with an energetic atmosphere. Here are a couple of ideas for your next team-building event.

Escape Room Races

Escape rooms can be a fun and unique group experience. They promote teamwork and challenge your employees to overcome obstacles together. You can turn it into a healthy competition by splitting your employees into groups.

In Phoenix, you can bring the escape room experience to any venue you’d like. But, you would want to avoid the traditional meeting room. In Arizona, the mysterious desert decorated with western-themed props and filled with clues can be a great place for escape games.

To discover clues, coworkers will have to use their communication and problem-solving skills. The winning team gets a trophy!

cityHunt

An upgraded scavenger hunt may be just what you need if adventure is your speed. But, your teams won’t just need to hunt down a list of items. The cityHunt version comes with a few twists. You’ll send the teams to a chosen destination where they will have to complete a couple of challenges.

In this scavenger hunt, there are Adventure Guides that make sure things run smoothly. Their job is to help referee and coach the groups.

This activity is both physically stimulating and intellectually challenging. It fosters teamwork and team communication. You can download the cityHunt app to get started.

The Murder Mystery Company

This is a live-action game of Clue in Phoenix. You’ll need to put your detective hats on for this one. Coworkers are split into teams. They can be detectives or suspects. A troupe of professional actors will lead the way.

Each team gets a binder full of objectives, clues, and suspect bios. The Murder Mystery Company makes your employees test their sleuthing skills. It can be a bit silly but it will certainly unforgettable!

The activity involves props, costumes, and whole sets. The Murder Mystery Co. provides everything. Beverages, food, and party room cost extra.

Golf Outing

Maybe your team prefers something a bit more familiar but still a lot of fun. Arizona is one of the best golf destinations in the world.

But, companies can have a hard time fitting a golf outing into their schedule and making sure they have enough tee times on the course. You can solve that problem by chartering a trolley or bus to pick you up and drop you off at a course of your choice.

Mini Golf Fore Good is another great option. Everyone can take part in this charitable team building activity. It can go down like this: Your employees build their own mini-golf holes out of boxed and canned foods. After your teams play through the wacky course, everything is donated “fore” a food bank in Scottsdale or Phoenix.

Pinspiration

This crafting studio in Phoenix allows your employees to unleash their creativity. They can go for a Splatter Room Experience or Main Studio Party.

The Splatter Room is a collaborative option. To prepare for an immersive experience, coworkers dress head-to-toe in coveralls, booties, goggles, and shower caps. Then, they enter the splatter Room where they can make their own quirky creations by flinging paint onto canvases.

The Main Studio is also an artful and creative experience. Your employees will get to create their own, unique masterpieces. There are dozens of crafts to choose from.

Craft options include mugs, quote signs, home decor, and many more. The customization options are infinite. Teams get to share ideas and show their creative sides. Unique snacks and drinks are also an option at Pinspiration.

Axe Throwing

Your company may be a great place to work at, but every workplace can be a stressful environment sometimes. Allow your team to unwind with some good old axe throwing. After a demo and safety lesson, of course.

This friendly competition allows team members to test out their strength. A final bracket elimination championship decides the winner. In Phoenix, you can throw axes at Lumberjaxes and Splitting Timber.
