Halloween at Work: Team Building, Virtual Events & Family Days

The Ultimate Guide to Halloween Team Building in Ireland

Halloween is one of the most powerful times of the year to bring your team together. It’s the final push before Christmas, and the right event can lit morale, build energy and give staff something memorable to talk about long after October ends.  

For HR manager, marketing professionals and event planners, Halloween is a golden opportunity.  

• You want to engage teams before the year end fatigue sets in 
• You need options that work in office, hybrid and remote teams.  
• You’re under pressure to create something original, fun and stress free to organise. 

At Dynamic Events, we’ve designed Halloween activities for companies across Ireland that tick all those boxes. From immersive Murder Mysteries to family friendly events and last-minute office games, here’s your complete guide to planning Halloween team building that works for your business.  

1. In-Person Halloween Team Building 

One of the most popular enquiries we get in October is for Murder Mystery parties. They’re more than entertainment – they're an immersive team building experience.  

✧ Murder Mystery 

• Perfect for dinners, client's entertainment and team nights. 
• Fully customisable storylines, professional actors and atmospheric props.  
• Works for groups of 20-50 people in hotels or unique venues.  
• Builds teamwork, communication, and problem solving under time pressure. 

We've delivered Murder Mystery Experiences for companies such as JYSK at venues such as Castleknock Hotel creating evening that staff still talk about.  

✧ Halloween Scavenger Hunt (Halloween Horrors Edition)  

• A high energy outdoor challenge.  
• Combines team challenges, trivia and creative thinking.  
• This activity is both available in hybrid and physical formats.  

If you want something beyond the usual dinner party, these in-person activities offer a memorable way to strengthen collaboration while keeping everyone entertained.  

Just like Christmas Family Parties, our Halloween Family Day events are designed to include everyone: staff, partners and children.  

What’s included: 

• Themed decor, entertainment and seasonal activities. 
• Tailored schedules for staff and their families. 
• Options for office or venue-based events 

We’ve created Halloween Family Days for companies such as SEI Investments, Radisson Blu Dublin Airport and Tullamore Distillery which were all designed to boost community spirit and deliver a truly inclusive celebration. 

For businesses that want to show appreciation not just to employees, but to their families too, a Halloween Family Day creates a lasting impact.  

2. Virtual Halloween Events

Remote or hybrid? No problem. Our Virtual Murder Mysteries and Escape Activities brings the same Halloween thrill to global teams.  

Options include: 

🚂 Murder on the Train 
🗻 Murder on the Slopes
🔪 Remote manor House Murder 
🔐 Virtual Escape  

Why teams love them:  

• Flexible scheduling (even last-minute) 
• Perfect for distributed or hybrid workforces.  
• Same immersive storytelling, puzzles and collaboration as in-person events.  

These experiences give virtual teams the chance to connect, problem solve and laugh in a format that feels fresh and fun.  

Why Halloween Events Work 

• Boost morale before year end. October can feel flat a themed event brings energy back into the office.  
• Inclusive for all teams. Whether in-person, virtual or family focused, there's an option for every business setup. 
• Memorable and original. Halloween stands out as a chance to create something different before the Christmas season takes over.
