“We hired Interplay to provide a strengths recognition program with a teambuilding component during a retreat. Their “‘This or That’ activity was the right solutions, balancing collaborative fun with learning and testing individual strengths across several working groups.
For focused, collaborative learning, I’d recommend Interplay.”

Microsoft Team Building Picnic: Pirate Power

A continuation of a five year relationship Interplay was challenged with creating a themed event for an annual Microsoft team building picnic.
The Challenge
Create a theme to distinguish this annual event from past ones while at the same time building on the success of past events. Especially important was building activities that would challenge an exceptionally well educated audience with a high degree of smart play.
The Solution
Interplay created an event entitled Pirate Power. In this event participants took part in three different exercises designed to draw out their inner pirate. Each event was lead by pirate “motivators.”
The Result
Interplay successfully engaged a diverse and highly intelligent group in a series of smart play activities that brought people together in common challenges that strengthened bonds between team members.
