Affordable Team Building Solutions

When clients contact us looking for affordable team building, they often already have a figure in mind.

The question is usually straightforward: “This is our budget. What can we do for it?”

That’s actually useful information to have from the beginning.

Rather than choosing an activity first and discovering later that it doesn’t fit the budget, we can look at the amount available, the number of participants and where the event is taking place before recommending suitable options.

What Affects the Cost of Team Building?

There isn’t one standard price for a team building event.

Most of our activities have a setup fee and a price per person. That means the size of your group has an impact on the overall cost.

How the activity is delivered matters too.

A Fully Managed event involves a Dynamic Events event manager travelling to your venue and, depending on the activity, bringing the equipment needed to run it.

If you’re working with a tighter budget, one of the options we may suggest is Remote Host.

How Remote Host Team Building Works

Remote Host is still an in-person team building event. Your group gets together at your venue and takes part in the activity as a team.

The difference is how we deliver it.

Participants play using their own smartphones, while our event manager joins the event by live video link to deliver the briefing and results.

Because we don’t need to send an event manager to your venue or transport iPads to the event, we can remove some of the travel and delivery costs associated with a Fully Managed event.

That can make Remote Host a useful option when you have a fixed budget but still want a professionally delivered activity.

It also isn’t a self-run version of the event. Our event manager is still involved on the day, just remotely rather than physically at the venue.

Both Fully Managed and Remote Host can work well. The right format comes down to what you need from the event and the budget you have available.

What Can You Do as a Remote Host Activity?

The best activity will depend on your group, location and the type of session you want.

Some of the activities we can deliver using our Remote Host format include:

Digital Treasure Hunt

If you want to get the group outside, a Digital Treasure Hunt can take place around a town, city or suitable venue.

Teams use their smartphones to navigate the activity and complete challenges for points as they move around the route.

The Escape

The Escape is an indoor team challenge built around an art heist.

Teams have been framed and need to work through the evidence, crack the codes and solve the challenge before time runs out.

Level Up

Level Up gives teams a series of different challenges to tackle through the activity.

Rather than focusing on one type of puzzle throughout the session, teams work through different levels and try to accumulate as many points as possible.

Manor House Murder

Manor House Murder turns the group into investigators following a murder at a school reunion.

Teams work through the evidence and try to identify what happened and who is responsible.

Digital Pub Safari

For something more informal, Digital Pub Safari combines a pub crawl with quizzes and team challenges.

Teams use their smartphones as they make their way through the activity and compete for points.

You don’t need to decide which of these you want before contacting us. If you tell us your group size, location and budget, we can narrow down which options make sense.

Tell Us Your Budget

There can sometimes be a reluctance to give an event company a budget upfront.

For this type of enquiry, it makes the conversation much easier.

If you know what you have available, tell us.

We regularly have clients come to us with a fixed figure and ask what we can do for it. We can then look at the group size, delivery format and activity options and see what we can realistically offer within that budget.

That’s more useful than choosing an activity based purely on which one appears cheapest.

If Remote Host makes sense, we can recommend it. If there’s another way of approaching the event within the budget, we’ll look at that too.

Affordable Doesn’t Have to Mean Self-Run

One distinction worth making is that reducing the cost of delivery doesn’t necessarily mean organising and running the whole activity yourself.

With Remote Host, your group is together in person and a Dynamic Events event manager is still there via live video link to brief participants and deliver the results.

What you’re removing are some of the costs involved in physically getting our team and equipment to your venue.

For companies trying to make a fixed team building budget go further, that can be a practical place to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Organise Team Building on a Limited Budget?

Yes. Tell us the budget you have available, along with your group size and location, and we can look at which activities and delivery formats could work.

What Is Remote Host Team Building?

Remote Host is an in-person event delivered with support from a Dynamic Events event manager via live video link.

Participants gather together at their venue and play using their own smartphones. Our event manager delivers the briefing and results remotely.

Why Can Remote Host Cost Less Than Fully Managed Team Building?

With Remote Host, an event manager doesn’t need to travel to your venue and we don’t need to transport iPads for participants to use.

Removing those travel and equipment delivery requirements can reduce the cost of delivering the event.

Do Participants Need Their Own Devices?

Yes. Participants use their own smartphones to take part in our Remote Host activities.

Which Activities Are Available as Remote Host Events?

Options include Digital Treasure Hunt, The Escape, Level Up, Manor House Murder and Digital Pub Safari. The right option will depend on your group, location, available time and what you want to do.
