Why and how can team building bring large groups together just as well as small ones? We want to explore this question and find out which ideas are best suited for this. <\/p>

Team building has become an important and widespread tool for strengthening a sense of community in companies, associations and organizations. After all, a well-coordinated team is invaluable and team dynamics – especially in large groups – are crucial for success and growth. <\/p>

We introduce you to creative team-building options that have been specially developed for large groups and reveal what it takes for a successful event that creates a very special team spirit.<\/p>

How team building connects large groups<\/h2>

Team building is not just a current trend in business management, but an essential component for the success of an organization. It is particularly important for large groups to develop a strong team dynamic in order to promote efficiency, cooperation and motivation among the members. <\/p>

Why is team building particularly important for large groups?<\/h3>

Large groups can use team building to break down barriers, build trust and improve internal communication. It also promotes creativity, problem-solving skills and a strong sense of togetherness within the team. <\/p>

The playful component allows people from a large group, who otherwise only meet in a work context, to get to know each other on a new, more relaxed level. This is particularly important in large groups in order to prevent the formation of small groups, which do more harm than good to the team structure. <\/p>

How team building games strengthen team spirit<\/h3>

Games offer an entertaining and effective way to experience something out of the ordinary together, to solve problems together and to approach various challenges in a fun way. And this also has a direct impact on cooperation and cohesion in other areas – because the participants get to know each other better in an informal atmosphere away from the usual work setting. <\/p>

The 5 best games for team building with large groups<\/h2>

Of course, there are team building games<\/a> that are particularly suitable for large groups. The following games, specially developed for large groups, are not only entertaining, but also promote the important team skills discussed above. <\/p>

1st Escape Room (indoor & outdoor)<\/h3>

An escape room is an exciting activity that requires teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills. In a group, the participants have to find clues, solve puzzles and find a way out of a room or an exciting scenario and solve a series of puzzles together under a certain amount of time pressure. <\/p>

Escape games are among the most adventurous and varied types of team-building games that are perfect for large groups. They are becoming increasingly popular with all age groups. <\/p>

Kreative Ideen f\u00fcrs Teambuilding \u2013 und der gr\u00f6\u00dfte Fehler der Praxis<\/h3>

Schon 2015 habe ich festgestellt, dass Team-Events in Escape Rooms mega gefragt sind. Das ist eine geniale kreative Aktivit\u00e4t \u2013 eigentlich. Aber hier kommt der Haken, an dem wir fast gescheitert w\u00e4ren und an dem heute alle gew\u00f6hnlichen Anbieter in Hamburg scheitern: Die klassischen R\u00e4ume sind viel zu klein. Wer ein Event f\u00fcr eine Gro\u00dfgruppe plant und die Leute gezwungenerma\u00dfen auf komplett unterschiedliche R\u00e4ume aufteilt, erlebt ein Desaster. Wir haben das zwei Jahre lang hautnah miterlebt!<\/p>

Die Stimmung ist hinterher im Keller. Warum? Nicht weil unsere Escape Rooms nicht Spa\u00df gemacht haben. Wir sind der Top 4 Escape Room Anbieter in der DACH Region. Also woran liegt es? Hier kommt ein ganz spezielles Ph\u00e4nomen zum Tragen, dass ich selber kaum glauben konnte: Die Stimmung f\u00fcr das gesamte Team kommt nicht auf, weil die kleinen Teams komplett isoliert bleiben. Es gibt nach dem Event keine gemeinsame Kommunikation untereinander \u2013 wor\u00fcber auch? Keiner will den anderen spoilern, wer welchen Raum wie gel\u00f6st hat. Merke: Ein Escape Room als Teambuilding-Aktivit\u00e4t funktioniert nur, wenn alle exakt das gleiche Erlebnis spielen!<\/b> Nur dann begeistert es die ganze Gruppe, weil hinterher alle euphorisch \u00fcber die gleichen Momente quatschen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>

\ud83d\udca1 Experten-Tipp: So gehen kreative Indoor-Aktivit\u00e4ten richtig<\/h3>

Bucht ein Indoor-Teamevent im Escape Room nur dann, wenn entweder das identische Spiel mehrfach als Klon existiert, oder der Anbieter echte XXL Escape Rooms anbietet. Genau darauf haben wir uns im OPOLUM spezialisiert, weil wir dieses Logistik-Problem sehr fr\u00fch erkannt haben. In unserem Indoor Versus-Tarif spielen bis zu 20 Personen zeitgleich genau dasselbe immersive Erlebnis<\/b>. Dazu sp\u00e4ter noch mehr.<\/p>

Idee 2: Die OPOLUM Gameshow \u2013 Die Rettung f\u00fcr klaustrophobische Mitarbeiter<\/h3>

Wenn du als Chef oder HR-Manager ein Teamevent planst, kennst du das Problem: Du musst eine Aktivit\u00e4t finden, die alle<\/i> Mitarbeiter begeistert. Sobald das Wort \u201eEscape Room\u201c f\u00e4llt, landen oft die ersten besorgten E-Mails im Postfach: \u201eWie eng sind die R\u00e4ume? Ich habe Klaustrophobie. Ist es da drin dunkel? Wie schwer sind die R\u00e4tsel?\u201c<\/i> Wenn Mitarbeiter Angst haben, sich in engen R\u00e4umen einzusperren zu lassen (Das ist \u00fcbrigens gar nicht mehr erlaubt, h\u00e4lt sich aber als Mythos oder wird von unseri\u00f6sen Escape Room Anbietern noch praktiziert) oder sich bei zu schweren R\u00e4tseln zu blamieren, ist das Event gelaufen, bevor es angefangen hat.<\/p>

Dazu kommt eine logistische Herausforderung: Unser Indoor-Versus-Tarif schwei\u00dft zwar 20 Leute genial zusammen, teilt sie aber in zwei 10er-Teams auf, die in identischen R\u00e4umen gegeneinander antreten. Wir haben aber super oft Anfragen von Gruppen zwischen 10 und 25 Personen, die absolut nicht<\/i> getrennt werden wollen. Die wollen alle im exakt gleichen Raum zusammenspielen!<\/p>

Escape Rooms m\u00fcssen hier den Hut ziehen. So viele Menschen bekommt man nicht in einen Escape Room.\u00a0 Aber mich hat das Problem nicht losgelassen. Ich bin ein T\u00fcftler und ein Erfinder! Nach einigem Kopfzerbrechen hatte ich dann den Geistesblitz, als ich mal wieder Schlag den Star auf Prosieben geschaut hatte: Die OPOLUM Gameshow<\/b>.<\/p>
