To tie in with London 2012, EventWorks are offering a sports day with an olympics twist this summer!
This fun and interactive Olympics event package is suitable for all kinds of groups, ages and abilities and is a great outdoor option for any summer corporate company day or team building event. It consists of a mix of elements from the classic school sports day and Olympic games traditions.
A combination of the biggest and best inflatable's mixed in with classic Olympics style events to really add to the fun. But that’s only the start, we’re really pushing the Olympics theme and we do that with a range of extras to make this event even more memorable in this Olympic year.
So what’s makes the difference in the event? Here's an example of some of the great additions to our Olympic style sports day event:
-
A great mix of the biggest inflatables
-
Mixed in with on Track Olympics Style Races
-
Our Olympic Arena to set the scene. A Large Olympics Banner over our stage area which sits in front of the main Race track complete with start and finish, lanes etc
-
Team/ Country Flags on Poles which the team member gather around prior to the competition
-
Olympics Parade – a fun filled parade around the track for all teams behind their flags
-
Olympic athlete running the show. Our great character MC runs the show
-
Olympic Podium for final presentation of medals for gold, silver and bronze
This is what we excel in and it is so important with a day like this not to just have a wide range of games in a field which people rotate through. We want to ensure there is something for everyone so we have the games split across three main areas: Area 1 - Large inflatables, Area 2 - Our Olympics Track and Area 3 - Mind and Skill Games.
This outdoor team building event can last from 2-4 hours depending on your numbers. This all adds up to a really fun day and a great way to boost employee team spirit.We can even add in an Olympics style quiz as an indoor plan B back up option. As we are a full time event management company run the entire day from start to finish and manage the activites and coordinate all timings to ensure the event runs smoothly and it a great success.
This current event is the perfect company outing for a corporate event this summer as it's fun, engaging and interactive with a team building element to it and it also gets the competitive spirit going with the teams.
It is sure to be a day to remember and there is definitely something there for everybody. As we understand the importance of all the attendees getting involved and working together, we include both physical and mental challenge zones to appeal to the entire group.
If you are planning a corporate summer event with a mix of everything then the EventWorks Olympic Challenge is perfect for you. It will entertain your staff for hours and a great way to draw this event to the close would be with a BBQ at your chosen venue. We run this event all across Ireland.
Contact EventWorks today and we will be delighted to help you plan your Olympics themed company day!

We have a great selection of exciting and challenging treasure hunts on offer at EventWorks that are perfect for your staff team building day from traditional scavenger style hunts to against the clock city challenges.
We can also customise treasure hunts to tie in with your theme or message to make the event even more memorable.
To add to the excitement, our treasure hunts are unique compared to standard treasure hunts as they include a variety of team building tasks such as location based clues, code cracking, secret cryptic clues, spy tasks, fun photo/video challenges and even actors to add to the excitement. We design all our outdoor treasure hunts just for you and they can take place in any town or city in Ireland. Most of our hunts last from 2-3 hours and we can run them them for large and small numbers.
Here is a few examples of some of our exciting treasure hunts which are perfect for corporate groups!
Diehard
Diehard is no ordinary treasure hunt! Diehard is different. The real difference is that it’s entirely up to you! How you play the tape, access a website, spend your money wisely, and get from one location to another? This is what makes the game different, in that your destiny is in your hands. The challenge is set out for you, but it’s up to you how to solve it!

Beat The Clock
Beat The Block is an ideal city challenge for a small group as the event is completed in one team. The team are given 20 fun and cryptic tasks and a limited amount of time to complete each of them. However additional tasks received by various means throughout have even shorter deadlines and so it becomes a race against the clock to complete the cryptic tasks. 1 Team. 20 Tasks. Pass or FAIL.

Spy School
Spy School is a team challenge with a difference. This event includes a number of crucial spy themed tasks that teams must decipher and solve which are integral to the success of their spy mission and ultimately the survival of their company. Teams will be given a secret spy kit containing hi tech gadgets especially designed for espionage which will really help them get into character. In order to complete their tasks, teams will be required to think on their feet, work together, be devious and show genuine spy skills. Sample spy tasks include testing teams’ observation skills by recalling faces from CCTV footage and cryptic code cracking against the clock.

Whoever said Team Building couldn't be fun? Our team building activites are just that and more. Our events are lighthearted, enjoyable and creative and will give employees a day to remember. The reason our team building events are so different is because we make them unique and customise them to your preferences. These team games are collaborative, challenging and exciting. We encourage teams to interact and work together while having a laugh at the same time. Our events encourage team work in groups while still retaining the fun element to them.
Team building events such as Spy School and School Sports Day really make groups forget that they are involved in a company day at all! Our MC gets them energised and motivated to complete their tasks and in Spy School, for example, the secret gadget kits really helps the group get into character while pursuing the art of espionage.
EventWorks have a great selection of fun and creative team building activities on offer including both indoor team building events and outdoor team building events. Although we are a Dublin based event management company, we can arrange your company team building day in any venue in any location in Ireland. We are also happy to put together an indoor plan B, back-up option for your event should the weather take a turn for the worst.
Your next event could be facing Alan Salt in The Apprentice or taking part in an exciting treasure hunt, or developing a chocolate product from scratch.

Here at EventWorks, we have had a very busy January and start to February with a variety of conference, entertainment and team building activities (both indoor and outdoor). We're delighted to say that all of these events went great and were a resounding success!
To keep you update on the these events, we will recap on 5 of our most recent
indoor team building events that we've run since the New Year.
1. Art Explosion - For this creative team building event, teams work together to create their own masterpiece (to our strict criteria) using a wide selection of art materials to help them be innovative. At the very end we then combine all the various pieces like a jigsaw and best of all a hidden message is revealed to all as you can see from the picture above! A great way to launch a new marketing phrase, slogan or tagline or the year ahead or even just a great way to act as an icebreaker and integrate lots of smaller teams together. View a great sample video of this event
here.
2. Chocolate Heaven - A creative marketing style team building game where teams make, invent, brand and market a new chocolate product. We provide everything to get the group in the mood and everyone loves working with chocolate! Then you have to convince our judges of your plan and ideas.Chocolate Heaven is an indoor team building event which is normally run in a hotel. This event is a great option for both office and out of office hours as its very fun and engaging. It is a fantastic team building for energising staff and encouraging integration within the group. iew a great sample video of this event
here.
“Thank you so much for yesterday, we all had such great fun. It really was an event with a difference! A real treat! (That we could take home). Thanks again”
- ESB - Chocolate Heaven
3. Planetary Pipeline - A great indoor team building activity which helps teams work well together while also keeping other teams requirements in mind throughout. Teams must transfer energy balls from the sun to a depleted planet using piping and other materials we provide. However there are many other twists and turns (literally) which they must adhere to. This team building event is great for team work but also collaboration with others, creativity, time management and seeing the bigger picture as many teams work together to achieve a common goal.
4. Team MTV - Our custom event Team MTV is an interactive and fun option for your staff team building day. Teams must record a music video, well just their one section of it and then we edit and combine them into one group MTV masterpiece. Another great creative team building event which brings the smaller teams together as one.
“Just wanted to say a big thank you for everything on Thursday. Everyone really enjoyed the activity and the video was brilliant.”
- Nestlé - Team MTV
5. The Mission - A briefcase with top secret company information has been stolen by an armed kidnapper. With the guidance of our tough Character MC teams must undergo a series of tasks to recover the missing item and track down the kidnapper. Only one team can recover the item, it’s a race to be the first. Varied tasks make this a unique conference or team building game.
“The event was really good, everyone enjoyed themselves. All in all though, great day and thanks a million. ”

Below is a list of 5 of our most popular team building games. We have many set team building packages to choose from. We can also design and build a unique team task event especially for you based on your brief.
1. TeamWorks Outside
TeamWorks Outside is a mix of 8-10 team tasks that teams rotate through. They are a mix of physical, skill and mental challenges and can be adapted to have more emphasis on one area depending on your needs. It's fun, flexible and has great variety so it always goes down well with groups. It normally lasts 2 hours but can be combined with some longer challenges to go up to 3 hours or even a full day. Great for numbers up to 150 and as low as 20. All this event requires is an outdoor space or field.
2. Lift Off
A Giant meteor is heading towards Earth. Under the guidance of our mad scientist, can your group design, build and launch your rocket using the rocket building materials provided. They must also meet our other space requirements which include inventing 3 items which will help their survival in space and writing a welcome message for the aliens. We then bring teams outside to the launch pad with compressor props and effects and we launch each teams rocket into space. The best designed rocket will travel the furthest into space.This team task requires innovation, time management and first rate communication skills to succeed. This is very impactful event for a new product or service launch in the pipeline. Suitable for 30 ‐ 300 people.
3. City Challenges & Treasure Hunts
EventWorks are the best at scripting, designing and managing brilliant city challenges and having run over 1000 of them we can back this brash statement up. We've run over 20 different themes/styles of city challenge and for numbers as low as 6 and as high as 800. From walking city challenges to cryptic spy themed missions or bizarre happenings with our brilliant actors we have fantastic ideas (and we deliver on the logistics). We can provide city challenges in any town in Ireland. Diehard (a rival company is out to destroy your company and leaves cryptic clues) and Beat The Clock city challenge (for one team or lots of teams but everyone must succeed against the clock) are two of the most popular. Of course we also offer our great walking hunts anywhere in Ireland customised just for you.
4. Spy School
No clue solving, only spy themed tasks to see if you’re up to the mark! Teams will be given a secret spy kit containing hi tech gadgets especially designed for espionage. In order to complete their taskes, teams will be required to think on their feet, work together, be devious and show genuine spy skills. We have over 16 different spy challenges depending on location of your event, the budget and the length of time. Sample tasks include testing teams observation skills by recalling faces from CCTV footage and code cracking against the clock. Suitable for 20 ‐ 250 people.
5. School Sports Day
Relive the classic school sports day, with a twist! Our headmaster runs the show and with a huge range of activities and extras like Joker cards it’s not just about being the fastest. This is a very popular event with great results. It inspires teamwork and motivation within the group and really helps to break the ice. Suitable for 20 ‐ 300 people.
Indoor Back Up Plan:
Irish weather can be very unpredictable so it is always a good idea to have a Plan B option in place in case it decides to bucket down rain. There are lots of good back up options for team building and company days that can save the event, it just takes a little planning. Entertainers that can move inside, quizzes or changing to indoor team building activities.
