Quiz & trivia
Short themed rounds, clear questions and team discussion create an easy structure. Topics can be balanced so the evening does not depend on one narrow area of knowledge. Screens and sound are included only where agreed.

Good company.
A shared challenge.
Give your group a reason to collaborate, compare ideas and enjoy being in the same room. Choose a format that suits the people taking part.

Participation starts
with the right format.
A team event does not need to turn every person into a performer. Some guests enjoy quick answers and lively discussion; others contribute best when they have time to observe, solve a problem or work alongside a smaller group.
We shape the programme around your purpose and the way your group likes to participate. It can be a standalone session, an afternoon within a company gathering or a social activity after a formal meeting. Programmes accommodate up to 40 guests within an event duration of up to six hours.
Collaborative challenges
Small groups work through practical tasks with different ways to contribute. We discuss the level of movement, table space and materials required, then agree a format that suits the venue and participants.
Escape-room-style puzzles
A sequence of clues gives the group a shared objective. Puzzle stations and themed props can create the story within a suitable room; guests are not physically locked in as part of the programme.
Give the evening a storyline
A mystery
worth discussing.
A murder mystery format gives guests characters, clues and a reason to exchange information. The tone can be theatrical or lightly hosted, depending on your group. We agree the level of role-play before choosing the story structure and guest instructions.
The plan should explain how roles are allocated, when information is released and how the final reveal happens. Guests need enough guidance to enjoy the story without reading long instructions at the table. If some people prefer not to play a character, we can discuss an observer or shared-team approach.
Tell us about content sensitivities and whether the evening sits alongside a meal. The subject matter, humour and pace should suit the occasion. Costumes, actors, printed character packs and specialist scenery are separate choices to be confirmed in the proposal.
Start with a realistic goal
A social afternoon, an introduction for a new group and a celebration after a busy project call for different activities. Tell us what would make the event useful: more conversation across teams, a shared experience or simply a well-organised break from the usual routine.
We do not treat an entertainment activity as a substitute for professional training or promise measurable changes in workplace performance. A clear, modest goal helps us choose an appropriate format and gives your team a better idea of what to expect. If a formal learning programme is required, explain that during the enquiry.
Build groups with care
Group size affects how much each person can contribute. Smaller teams can make it easier to speak, while larger groups may need separate stations or more facilitation. We discuss the number of participants, the available room and whether you want people to mix outside their usual teams.
Let us know about participation arrangements that would help: seated tasks, larger text, quieter instructions, reduced movement or additional explanation time. Share practical needs rather than unnecessary personal details. We can review the options with you and the venue before confirming the final programme.
Keep the activity moving
The facilitator explains the task, checks that groups understand it and introduces the next stage. A clear briefing is particularly useful when guests have different experience levels. We allow time for questions and avoid filling the whole schedule with back-to-back instructions.
The programme can alternate focused rounds with short breaks and conversation. A closing discussion or shared reveal gives the activity a natural finish. If the event includes a company message or a meal, we agree the handover so the group is ready for what follows.
Personalise what adds value
A quiz can draw on a chosen theme, and a challenge can use a visual direction that fits the occasion. Company-specific content needs accurate source material and approval from your team. We agree the amount of custom writing and production before it is added to the scope.
Avoid material that exposes private staff information or puts individuals on the spot. A good shared activity gives people something enjoyable to work on together. The event should not depend on embarrassing questions, forced disclosures or participation that makes a guest uncomfortable.
A two-hour session,
with room to settle in.
An opening briefing can lead into two or three activity blocks, separated by a short pause, then a final reveal or group wrap-up. The exact timing depends on the difficulty, guest count and level of customisation. We confirm it with you before the event.
Indicative team activity pricing
Planning starts at NZ$850 for a facilitator-led two-hour activity for up to 20 guests, using standard materials at a suitable supplied Hamilton venue. The indicative range is NZ$850–2,500. Complex stories, additional performers, extensive custom content and specialist equipment can sit outside that range. See the team and mystery price family for details.
Before you enquire
A few practical questions.
Which activity is best for a group that does not know each other?
A lightly hosted quiz or collaborative task can provide a straightforward starting point. We discuss the group’s confidence, interests and available time before recommending a format. Clear instructions and manageable team sizes are often more useful than a complicated theme.
Can a quiz include questions about our organisation?
Yes, subject to agreeing the content work and approval process. Supply accurate facts and tell us who will review the questions. We avoid using sensitive staff information and recommend balancing internal material with topics that everyone can enjoy.
How physical are the team challenges?
The level of movement depends on the chosen format. Table-based puzzles and quizzes can suit a more seated session, while other challenges may need room to move. Tell us about access and participation requirements before the programme is confirmed.
Do mystery events require acting experience?
No acting experience is needed for a lightly hosted format, but guests should be comfortable with the agreed level of character participation. We can discuss shared roles, team-led clues or a less theatrical approach if that better suits your group.
Can an escape-room format come to our venue?
We can discuss puzzle stations and a story-led activity in a suitable space. The design depends on room layout, access and the props required. It is an event programme, so any specialist installation or extensive scenic build needs a separate agreed scope.
Can the programme be part of a longer event?
Yes. Share the wider running order, meal times and any presentations. We can propose an activity block that fits, including the time needed for instructions, breaks and a proper finish. The overall event programme remains within the agreed duration.
What should we provide at the venue?
Requirements vary, but a suitable room, enough seating and tables, clear access and any agreed power or display facilities are useful starting points. Your proposal will identify venue responsibilities and list the materials, equipment and facilitation included.
