Holiday Team Building Activities in New York City

Gaze at your own risk…

…as you explore the art of darkness while searching for skulls and skeletons, hideous monsters, severed heads, horrifying devices, mortifying martyrs, cold-blooded killers, freaky beasts, and other assorted ghouls in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Your skin might crawl…but your team shouldn’t if you want to win!

Your team’s quest: solve tricky, humorous clues about the creepy sights you uncover. One thing not to be scared of: this is not a trivia game. No previous knowledge of the art or the museum is required. You just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and maybe some garlic to ward off…well, just don’t worry about it.

On this Halloween scavenger hunt, you might encounter…

• People raised from the dead, right out of their coffin
• A ghostly creature painted out of a Bible scene
• A glittering container for a saint’s skull
• Satan lurking and winged demons diving

This spooky scavenger hunt is a fun way to celebrate the season with a company outing, private Halloween party, and more!

To dress up or not to dress up? That is the question…

Feel free to come dressed in your Halloween costumes, but please note that the Met will not allow anyone into the museum wearing a mask or face paint.

This game makes for a great NYC Halloween team building activity for friends and fiends alike. Click below to see the public hunt schedule, or contact us about a private hunt for your group—and find more devilish fun in New York City!

Spooky fun for the whole family!

Kids and adults work together to uncover the stories of creepy places and the ghosts that have haunted them. As a team, you’ll follow clues in search of answers to tricky, humorous questions about hidden cemeteries, looming skeletons, the haunted homes of Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain, bats on a building, disturbing door knockers, Harry Potter’s arch-enemy, and plenty of tales that will chill your bones.

Recommended for ages 7 and up. Each team must include at least one adult. 

Need some good news?

Let’s not forget to look at all that’s right about the world and our history. On this gratitude scavenger hunt, teams roam the internet in search of answers to tricky, fun questions about the many people, places, and moments for which we can be grateful. It’s a virtual appreciation game, so you’ll also come away with a better appreciation for your colleagues.

You’ll follow clues to discover websites around the world that celebrate natural wonders and pioneering people who have given amazing gifts to us all in discoveries and inventions, music, food, art, education, humor, and a cornucopia of other areas of achievement.

This is a great way for any hybrid or remote team to celebrate Thanksgiving (or express gratitude any time of year!) while having fun as a group and reinforcing positive workplace culture.

You’ll search for things to be thankful for, including…

• The wonders of the human heart, as you go through a giant one at the Franklin Institute
• The advances in everyday food, glorious food, as reflected through the mischievous eyes of Andy Warhol
• The amazing sculpting powers of water at the Iguazu Falls in South America
• Marvels of transportation, a Space Shuttle at the Air & Space Museum or fun model trains at Chicago’s Museum of Science & Industry
• Miracles of nature such as chimpanzees and the species-saving arks that are zoos
• Heroes and pioneers such as Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, and Lin-Manuel Miranda

…and much more. There’s even a bonus challenge featuring Americans who lead by example in their work for charities and worthy causes. By the end of this appreciation game, you’ll certainly be thankful you played.

A Kids Edition and an International/ESL Edition are also available. Contact us to learn more.

Is Ghost Hunting a Trivial Pursuit?

How are you at conducting a seance? Because your team will have quite an edge in this Halloween trivia game if you can consult with spirits, goblins, ghosts, specters, vampires, and other things that go bump in the night.

• Identify movie monsters by their dating profiles.
• Ponder ridiculous DIY costumes and decide “Who Wore It Best?”
• Recall characters from Halloween episodes of classic TV shows.
• Name famous haunted places.

You might want to come appropriately attired for the surprising photo challenge round, testing your teamwork and creativity.

Caution: There’ll be ghosts in your machine

…when you use your computer to join us for a poltergeist-plagued online scavenger hunt. On teams, you’ll go for a virtual walk to and within haunted places and learn the stories of their ghosts. You’ll meet our host on Zoom, then your team will go into a breakout room and use our browser-based app to follow a trail of clues across surprising websites, in search of answers to tricky questions.

• Visit Philadelphia’s creepy Eastern Penitentiary and its bygone (or are they?) prisoners
• Wander among crowded tombs in a cemetery haunted by a someone who was  accidentally buried alive
• Learn the chilling fate of Giles Corey at the Salem Witch Trial Memorial
• Sneak into the White House in search of the presidents whose ghosts have been spotted there

And those are just a few of the escapades and tales your team will enjoy on this online scavenger hunt. And in October, the game is perfect for your virtual Halloween party!
