Team building activities are structured experiences designed to strengthen communication, collaboration, and connection within a group. At Corporate Challenge Events, we deliver play-based team building activities that go beyond icebreakers, they help teams solve problems, celebrate wins, and build positive cultures that last long after the event. Whether it’s a charity program, outdoor adventure, or creative challenge, these activities create the shared moments of fun that bring people closer and improve workplace performance.

Play-based team building is more than just games, it’s a proven approach that uses the science of play to unlock team potential. At Corporate Challenge Events, all 40 of our programs are delivered through this model. Our facilitators are trained to guide teams into a state of play, where natural curiosity, creativity, and collaboration thrive. In this state, the brain releases powerful neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin, which boost trust, motivation, and problem-solving. From charity initiatives to outdoor adventures, every activity is intentionally designed to spark fun, connection, and long-term impact for your workplace culture.

Our Trusted Play Process is the framework we use to guarantee every client a seamless, impactful experience from start to finish. It’s built on 31 years of expertise and ensures your program is purposeful, professional, and fun. Through our 10-step client journey, we guide you every step of the way, from understanding your objectives and tailoring a proposal, to coordinating logistics, delivering your event, and providing follow-up support to measure impact. This process allows us to deliver on our promise of lasting cultural change and is the reason thousands of organisations across Australia and New Zealand trust us each year.

Team bonding is the foundation of any successful group, whether in business, sport, politics, entertainment, or charity. When people feel connected, they communicate better, trust more, and perform at a higher level. That’s why intentional team bonding activities are so valuable, they create shared experiences that strengthen relationships and boost motivation. At Corporate Challenge Events, we use play-based team building to help teams move beyond surface-level interactions and build genuine cohesion. The result is a happier, more resilient team culture where people thrive together.

A team building event can run anywhere from a quick 15-minute energiser to a full-day program. Short sessions are ideal for conferences and workshops when you want a burst of energy, while half-day and full-day formats allow teams to go deeper into collaboration, problem-solving, and culture building. At Corporate Challenge Events, all of our programs are designed to be flexible, we tailor the duration to your available time, your goals, and the outcomes you want to achieve, ensuring every minute has lasting impact.

Absolutely. Every team is different, which is why we design customised team building activities that reflect your goals, values, and culture. Your tailored proposal will include suggested programs, but these are just starting points; we’ll work with you to shape the experience around the specific outcomes you want, from improving communication to strengthening leadership or creativity. With over 40 play-based programs to choose from, our facilitators help you select and adapt activities that bring out the best in your people and deliver lasting impact.

The more notice you can provide, the better; it gives us time to secure the perfect facilitators, venues, and resources for your event. That said, with experienced staff and facilitators located across Australia and New Zealand, we can often deliver programs with as little as one week’s notice. Whether you’re planning months ahead or need a last-minute solution, our team is equipped to create a seamless, play-based experience that meets your goals.

The results depend on the outcomes you want to achieve, which is why every program is tailored to your team’s goals. In general, our play-based team building activities help improve communication, leadership, collaboration, and trust, while also lifting morale and confidence. By guiding teams into a true state of play, our facilitators spark the release of positive neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin, which strengthen relationships and boost motivation. The result is more than just a fun day, it’s a lasting shift in team culture where people feel connected, engaged, and ready to perform at their best.

The cost of a team building program varies depending on the type of activity, group size, location, and venue requirements. We design experiences to suit a wide range of budgets, from short energisers to large-scale corporate events. What we can guarantee is that the benefits;  improved communication, stronger culture, and lasting impact far outweigh the investment. As part of our commitment, we also offer a Price Beat Guarantee, so you can book with confidence knowing you’re receiving the best value. For an exact quote, contact your local Corporate Challenge Events office in Australia or New Zealand and we’ll tailor a proposal to your needs.

Finding the right program starts with clarifying your goals,  whether that’s boosting communication, rewarding staff, or creating a fun conference break. To make it easy, we’ve built an online program filter that helps you explore activities based on your objectives, group size, and location. From there, you can submit an enquiry or contact us directly, and our experienced team will guide you through the options. We’ll then prepare a tailored proposal with the best play-based programs to achieve your outcomes and create lasting impact for your team.

What you wear will depend on the type of program you’ve selected. Some of our outdoor team building activities are best enjoyed in comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for movement, while many of our indoor programs are designed for typical corporate attire and don’t require activewear. Because no two programs are the same, your local Corporate Challenge Events coordinator will always provide clear advice on what’s appropriate for your specific event. Our goal is to make sure everyone feels comfortable, included, and ready to enjoy the experience.

While we can’t control the weather, we can control how prepared we are. In the lead-up to your event, our team will stay in close contact with you, including monitoring the forecast. If conditions aren’t suitable for your chosen activity, we’ll provide options such as moving to a planned indoor alternative or rescheduling to another date. With over 31 years of experience, we’ve seen it all, so you can feel confident knowing your event will run smoothly, rain or shine.

A Charity team building program combines fun, connection, and social impact by giving your team the chance to support a cause while participating in a structured activity. At Corporate Challenge Events, we design charity team building activities where the outcome is something tangible, like bikes, toys, or care packs that’s donated directly to a charity or community group. You can choose a cause that matters to your team, or we can connect you with one of our partner charities across Australia and New Zealand. These programs not only strengthen teamwork and communication but also create a sense of pride and purpose, knowing your efforts make a real difference beyond the workplace.

Yes. All of our team building activities are designed with inclusivity in mind, catering for different ages, abilities, and comfort levels. Our play-based approach focuses on collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving,  not just physical performance. Your local coordinator will recommend programs that match your team’s needs, ensuring every participant feels comfortable, valued, and able to contribute to the experience.

Yes. Not every team building program needs a large group, many of our leadership and small team activities are designed for groups of 5–20 people. These programs are ideal for leadership development, strategy sessions, or reconnecting smaller teams in meaningful ways. By guiding participants into a state of play, we create space for open communication, problem-solving, and trust-building that directly supports your organisational goals.

Absolutely. We regularly design conference and offsite team building programs that bring energy, connection, and focus to larger events. From quick 15-minute icebreakers to half-day interactive challenges, our play-based activities are a powerful way to break up agendas and keep participants engaged. We also partner with some of the very best conference venues across Australia and New Zealand and can guide you to find a venue that suits your needs. To make planning even easier, we’ve created a free venue guide to help you explore the top options for your next event.
