Last week, our team set off to deliver team building in Hertfordshire. This was our brand-new ‘Go For Gold’ package for our client GSK — one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. This Olympic-themed event had contestants competing to win gold across a series of exciting challenges.
The Go for Gold Experience
Inspired by the spirit of the Olympic Games, our Go for Gold package brings the thrill of international competition to your corporate event. Teams compete across a series of challenges that test speed, accuracy, teamwork, and strategy — with gold, silver, and bronze medals up for grabs. It's one of our most exciting new additions to our team building portfolio, and a perfect example of the kind of bespoke corporate activities we design for leading UK organisations.
What Made This Event Special
- Olympic-themed challenges — A mix of physical, mental, and creative tasks inspired by Olympic disciplines
- Inclusive for all — Every challenge was designed so everyone could participate and contribute
- High energy throughout — Our professional hosts kept the atmosphere electric from start to finish
- Medal ceremony — A proper podium ceremony with gold, silver, and bronze medals for the winning teams
- Fully managed — We handled every detail from set-up to pack-down
Why Themed Team Building Delivers Stronger Results
The Go for Gold package demonstrates something we've seen consistently across hundreds of events: when you give a team building activity a compelling theme, engagement levels go through the roof. The Olympic framing gave GSK's teams a shared narrative — they weren't just competing in challenges, they were representing their ‘nations’ and chasing gold. That emotional investment translates directly into stronger participation, better communication, and more memorable shared experiences.
If you love competitive team events, you might also enjoy our Crystal Challenge, It's a Knockout, School Sports Day, or Beat the Box — all brilliant for high-energy competition and team bonding.
