Holiday Hijinks
Bring your team together for a fast, festive competition run by a professional host. Teams take on holiday brain teasers, creative tasks and skill challenges. It’s an easy way to add fun to your holiday party, end-of-year meeting or team celebration.
What Is Holiday Hijinks
Holiday Hijinks is an in-person, hosted holiday-themed competition. Small teams race the clock to finish dozens of festive challenges in the same room. Challenges mix brain teasers, creative tasks, physical and skill challenges, and a few mystery challenges.
Teams submit photos, videos and answers through a mobile web app. Points add up in real time on a live leaderboard. When time runs out, one team is crowned Holiday Hijinks Champions.
It works well as the main event at a holiday party or as a high-energy kickoff before dinner or awards.
Why teams love it
- Something for everyone. Challenges for thinkers, creative people, competitive people and performers, so everyone has a way to contribute.
- Real connection, face to face. Small teams solve problems, plan and laugh together in the same room. That’s hard to do over a screen.
- Friendly competition. Live scoring and a leaderboard keep energy high, and the winners get bragging rights into the new year.
- Hosted from start to finish. An on-site host runs the event, manages the timing and keeps every team engaged. You get to enjoy it with your team.
- Easy to plan. A dedicated event planner handles the details. We come to your venue, and the event fits easily into your holiday party agenda.
