Winter means indoor season. Many people assume team events only work in summer, when the weather cooperates. Wrong. Some of our best formats are pure indoor events that work especially well in winter. And some are only available during the cold months. Here are five formats we run regularly in winter – tried and tested, popular, and bookable from just 35.95 EUR per person.
1. Beat the Box – Escape Room Thrills Without an Escape Room
Imagine your team sitting in front of locked boxes full of puzzles, codes, and clues – with limited time to crack them. That is exactly what Beat the Box is: escape room excitement, but as a team event for 10 to 500 people. No room needed, no advance booking at an escape room venue. We bring everything.
There are several story scenarios to choose from – a hacker attack, a bank heist, a spy mission, and more. Each team works on their own box and must combine, communicate, and make decisions under pressure. That makes Beat the Box the perfect winter event: everything takes place at tables, indoors or outdoors, and the intensity keeps everyone engaged – even on a grey November afternoon.
From 44.95 EUR per person | 2 hours | 10–500 participants | Indoor & Outdoor
2. Domino Challenge – Thousands of Tiles, One Big Moment
Few events generate as much collective tension as the Domino Challenge. Thousands of dominoes are arranged by teams into elaborate courses – and then comes the moment when everything falls. Or doesn't. That is exactly what makes it thrilling.
The Domino Challenge works exclusively indoors, making it a natural winter event. Groups work with focus, figuring out curves and bridges, and at the end everything is connected into one giant chain reaction. Special bonus: teams can create custom designs – such as the company logo made of dominoes. That makes for a result worth photographing and sharing.
From 39.95 EUR per person | 2–3 hours | 10–500 participants | Indoor
3. Teambuilding Quiz Show – Knowledge, Fun, and Teamwork
The Teambuilding Quiz Show is our most affordable format and works for groups from 15 to 500 people. A professional host leads the evening, teams answer via tablets, and the mix of trivia questions, estimation challenges, and team tasks ensures that everyone is involved – not just the quiz enthusiasts.
For winter, the quiz show is ideal because it needs little space and works anywhere: at a conference hotel, in your own office, in the canteen. We bring the projector and tablets. And because it is not a physical event, there are no excuses – everyone can participate, from the intern to the CEO.
From 35.95 EUR per person | 2 hours | 15–500 participants | Indoor
4. Christmas Rallye – The Christmas Market as Your Playground
The Christmas Rallye is our only purely seasonal event – and that is exactly why it is so popular. From November to January, we turn the city centre and Christmas market into a playing field. Teams solve Christmas-themed challenges on tablets, explore the city, and stop for mulled wine along the way.
The format combines fresh air and movement with teamwork and festive atmosphere. And yes, it works in the cold – the tasks keep everyone moving, and the mulled wine stations provide warmth from the inside. Important: make sure everyone dresses warmly and wears sturdy shoes. Those who dress appropriately will have a wonderful afternoon.
From 39.95 EUR per person | 2–3 hours | 10–500 participants | City centre/Christmas market | November–January
5. Gingerbread House Building – A Creative Competition You Can Eat
Gingerbread House Building is the event that warms everyone up – figuratively speaking. Teams build and decorate gingerbread houses in competition with each other. All materials are included: gingerbread, icing, decorations, everything provided. At the end, a jury evaluates the results, and every team takes their house home.
This format works especially well as the opener or finale of a Christmas party. It is low-threshold, creative, fun – and the result ends up on someone's desk or under the Christmas tree. For teams that prefer something calm and creative, gingerbread house building is the perfect choice.
From 35.95 EUR per person | 2–3 hours | 10–100 participants | Indoor
Bonus: Winter Event as a Christmas Party Warm-Up
A tip many of our clients use: a team event as the programme before the actual Christmas party. Two hours of quiz show or Domino Challenge in the afternoon, followed by a group dinner – it gives the celebration structure, creates talking points, and brings together colleagues who rarely see each other in daily work. Most of our winter events can easily be combined with a dinner or party afterwards.
Conclusion: Winter Is Team Event Season
Winter is not the time to skip team events – it is the time when the best indoor formats truly shine. Whether escape box tension, domino concentration, quiz entertainment, Christmas market rallye, or gingerbread creativity: there is the right winter event for every team and every budget.
