A team building event improves workplace culture when it is chosen against a specific behavioural objective and closed with a facilitated debrief — not when it is chosen by format or by budget. The five decisions that determine the outcome are: what behaviour you want to change, which format fits where your people actually are, whether the group size suits the activity, whether facilitation is professional, and whether the session ends with a debrief that connects the experience to work. Rush-A-Way designs every programme against a written objective agreed before the date is confirmed.
We have organized team building activities with over 400 corporate companies, many of who are returning clients. Our clients include Fortune 500 Companies
| # | Decision | Get it wrong and… | Get it right by… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Objective before format | You book an activity everyone enjoys that changes nothing, because nobody defined what should be different afterwards. | Naming one behaviour: communication, trust, cross-team collaboration, onboarding, leadership visibility or morale. One, not five. |
| 2 | Format matched to where people are | Half the team joins by video and watches a room they cannot participate in. | In-person if everyone can attend; hybrid if a majority share an office; virtual if there is no majority location. |
| 3 | Group size matched to activity | A format designed for 20 is stretched over 200, and the back half disengages. | Escape-style and problem-solving formats for 10–30; Amazing Race and Challenge formats for 100+; clusters above 60 for workshops. |
| 4 | Professional facilitation | An internal volunteer runs it, the energy dies in the transitions, and nobody debriefs. | Facilitators who manage the run-of-show, keep rounds tight, and hold the group through the difficult middle. |
| 5 | A structured debrief | It was a nice day out. Monday is identical to Friday. | A facilitated closing session that connects what happened in the activity to how the team works, with named take-home actions. |

A provider that answers the first and third questions well is almost always the right one. Those two questions separate an events supplier from a team development partner.

The Rush-A-Way team organized a great virtual session for our graduates, imparting valuable learnings on trust, communication, teamwork, delegation and succeed together that the teams will carry forward to their work.
Thank you so much for all the energy, the excitement, the games and all the hype. I saw everyone really enjoying it. It was such an amazing experience. A big shout out to the whole Rush-A-Way team. Everything was really on point!
We had an amazing time with the Rush-A-Way team for the second time around. It was an amazing event full of fun and engaging activities
Thank you Rush-A-Way team for the quick turnaround of our fully customized challenge within a week. It all went great and the feedback came back very positive when we spoke with the teams. They were all thoroughly engaged throughout and the session met our objective.
We worked with Rush-A-Way to energize our monthly huddle and our team thoroughly enjoyed the hand-picked challenges for the virtual session. It was collaborative and got us to display trust as 'one' team. Thank you!
Thank you for all the arrangements. It was very well organized and my team had great fun. We look forward to more future collaboration with Rush-A-Way.
Thanks, team Rush-A-Way; the event was quite a hit. Some of the things I wanted to mention specifically were that the team was very punctual, well-skilled, and adequately staffed, the MC was spot on understanding the crowd vibe, and they could manage the flow well. Thanks once again!
The whole team had so much fun, we had a mix of challenging and fun exercises to do and we saw everyone's competitive spirit come out. This was our second year using Rush-A-Way at our offsite eventsand it was a really great experience.
Our training today was perfectly aligned with our targets and the skills we wanted to develop, and I just want to thank the Rush-A-Way team so much for customizing it to our needs. I really believe that we'll see great benefits in the workplace related to communication and teamwork.
A big thank you to Rush-A-Way. You guys kept the energy going for the 400+ staff we had. Keep doing what you do. We will see you again next year.

Start from the behaviour you want to change rather than the activity you want to run, match the format to where your people actually are, size the activity to the group, use professional facilitators, and insist on a structured debrief. The debrief is the step most often cut and the one that determines whether anything changes

A written objective agreed before the date, an activity designed against it, and a facilitated debrief that translates the experience into workplace behaviour. Without the debrief, an event produces a good day and no change.
From 20 minutes for an icebreaker to a full day for a programme with a workshop and debrief. Cultural resets generally need overnight time — a retreat of one to four days.
For groups up to 40 with a confirmed venue, as little as three days. Two weeks is comfortable for larger groups; four weeks where a trainer-led workshop is included.
Short, regular touchpoints outperform a single annual event. Most organisations run something monthly or quarterly with one larger half-day or full-day session per year.
| If the objective is… | Choose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| A new or newly merged team that does not know each other | Icebreakers and connection formats, then a collaborative challenge | Half day |
| Departments that do not talk to each other | Bridge The Gap, Pyra Build, or a scavenger hunt with mixed-department teams | Half day |
| Communication breaking down under pressure | Information-asymmetry formats — Escape The Box, Split Vision, the Rush-A-Way Challenge | 90 minutes to half day |
| Identifying future leaders | Timed challenges requiring delegation and decision-making, with a facilitated debrief | Half day to full day |
| Morale after an intense period | Release-focused formats — group drumming, Laughter Yoga, Amazing Race | 60 minutes to half day |
| Culture tied to purpose | CSR and sustainability formats — Eco Quest, Save The Planet | 90 minutes to half day |
| A genuine cultural reset | A multi-day team building retreat with workshops and debriefs across the arc | 1 to 4 days |
