Guide your ‘Santa’ around our themed digital map. - **Experience Format:** Virtual - **Group Size:** 8 - Unlimited Guests - **Duration:** 1 - 2 Hours - **Key Benefits:** Collaboration, Creativity, Fun & social ## How it works This festive edition of ‘race around the world’ is an online team-building activity specifically designed to help enhance remote workers' soft skills and agile thinking. This edition has three levels, each with a variety of exciting challenges to complete. Each team is represented by a ‘Santa’, with teams collaborating to guide them across the globe to deliver their presents. Teams must complete festive-themed challenges to earn carrots to keep the reindeer flying. Timed stages and the added pressure of managing limited resources make for a very engaging learning platform. ‘Race around the world' is an iterative learning framework where team members (or elves) must gather information, think critically, and then communicate effectively with their teammates (Santas!) to succeed. ## Learning Outcomes ### Collaboration Improving collaboration across a team is probably the number one way we can help to improve a team’s performance. If you don’t communicate, you can’t collaborate. We start with communication and get it flowing, then get everyone working together. We have found that creating long-term change in the way teams collaborate can be as simple as getting them into a creative frame of mind. Whether the team task is to work together or compete is up to you. ### Creativity Flexing your creative muscles is an ingeniously fun way of improving your problem-solving skills. These skills can make a big difference to how teams approach their day to day, back in the workplace. Our creative experiences allow participants to explore within themselves and collaboratively as teams. Ultimately, these experiences are massively rewarding. ### Fun & social Choosing from our range of fun and social experiences is sometimes all it takes to get teams working together in new and more effective ways. These light and engaging experiences are great for energising a team or warming up conference delegates. They can help familiarise new team members or get well-acquainted ones working in innovative ways. **Call us on** [03300 040903](tel:03300040903) **Send us an email** [info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk](mailto:info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk) **Follow us on social** ## Related Experiences Take a scroll through our latest and most popular experiences to inspire your next team building session. - [Alternative Christmas Party](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/alternative-christmas-party.md): Fast-paced and full of furious fun, our alternative Christmas party is a uniquely interactive, creative, and challenging experience for teams to bond over. - [The Big Virtual Christmas Quiz](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/the-big-christmas-quiz.md): Enjoy a professionally-hosted festive quiz.
