What TeamBonding sells, and how KraftyLab differs
TeamBonding was founded by David Goldstein and says it has been running team building for 35 years. Its site lists 200+ experiences and 50+ facilitators: in-person and virtual events, charity and volunteering programs, corporate retreats, event consulting, speakers and trainers, and DIY kits. The model is custom work. You send a request, a project manager designs the program with you, and you get a quote.
KraftyLab is built for the team lead who needs a good event on the calendar this month. Every activity page shows the live price for your headcount, a live host runs the whole hour, and we handle kit shipping and the platform. Big programs get the same care: a multi-event program can run several activities at once for a whole company.
What a 25-person virtual event costs
TeamBonding publishes ranges on its cost page, so the math is easy to check.
TeamBonding's cost page says virtual and hybrid events for groups of up to 30 start at $1,000, and average $45 to $60 a person without shipping and $85 to $150 or more with shipping. Each activity page asks you to request a quote.
- A hosted game for 25: most are one package at $850 to $975, about $34 to $39 a person, with the host included, and the murder mystery escape room is $650 flat. Extra RSVPs up to 25 do not move the price.
- A kit workshop for 25: a base fee plus a price per guest, both shown live on each class. Candle Making for 25 comes to about $84 a person with continental US shipping included.
- An office party: our hosts run Feud Night, trivia and Music Bingo in person in 17 US cities, from $1,750 for up to 50 guests. TeamBonding lists $3,500 to $4,500 for in-person groups of 10 to 20.
Kits, cooking and gifts
At KraftyLab the kit is the event: 25+ workshops such as candle making, wreath making and coffee tasting ship a box to each guest, and an instructor walks the group through it live. Continental US shipping is included; Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and international addresses ship for an added charge per guest. Book kit events three weeks ahead (about five for international addresses). December dates fill first.
We also send corporate gift boxes without an event, for client thank-yous or year-end gifts, shipped to every address.
Booking, time zones and after the event
- Lead time: hosted games book about two weeks ahead, kit events three, and custom questions or branding four.
- Split time zones: a hosted game can run as two sessions, so everyone plays in working hours.
- Hybrid teams: run an in-person game in the office plus a virtual session for remote staff, or one virtual event for everyone.
- After the event: KraftyLab Intelligence sends a short pulse survey to every participant with an email, with AI summaries of the answers.
- Whole companies: a branded booking portal lets team leads book from a catalog you approve, inside monthly budgets per team.
