What The Go Game sells, and how KraftyLab differs

The Go Game has been producing team building since 2001 and says it has run over 10,000 events. Its site lists 90+ in-person, virtual and hybrid experiences: game shows, scavenger hunts such as its Classic Adventure, lawn games, charity bike builds and creative games like a lip dub. It builds its own technology, the Weve platform for hosted game shows and the Go Game Adventure app for in-person hunts, and most events are priced by a tailored quote from its sales team.

KraftyLab is built for the person who needs a great team event on the calendar soon. Every activity page shows the price for your headcount, a live host runs the whole hour on a video platform your team already knows, and we handle kit shipping to every guest. Whole companies are covered too: a multi-event program runs several activities at once, each with its own host and breakout room.

Your video call or The Go Game's platform

Where people join decides how much setup the day needs.

The Go Game's tech requirements ask each player to join Weve in an up-to-date Chrome, Firefox or Edge browser on a laptop or desktop, with a webcam and headphones, and say phones and tablets are not generally recommended. In rare cases a company VPN or firewall blocks its video servers until IT allows them.

  • Same link as any meeting: we send a private Zoom link for your calendar invite, so guests join the way they join any call.
  • Teams, Meet or Webex: if your company uses one of those, send us the meeting link and the host runs the game there.
  • Office and home together: put the call on the conference room screen and remote colleagues play on the same teams. See every hosted game show and virtual trivia format.

Kit workshops with a box for every guest

Kits are a full part of our catalog, not a side menu. Choose from 25+ workshops, including candle making, mixology, cooking classes and coffee tasting. Each guest gets a box at their own address and an instructor leads the group live. Continental US shipping is in the price; Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and international addresses ship for an added charge per guest.

Plan kit workshops about three weeks out, and three to four weeks for international guests. For a gift with no event attached, send corporate gift boxes to every address on your list.

Lead time, big groups and after the event

  • Short notice: hosted games book about two weeks ahead and kit workshops about three. The Go Game's FAQ puts most formats at four to six weeks, and six to ten for November and December.
  • Holiday season: pick a date for your virtual holiday party in October or early November, before December weeks fill up.
  • Hundreds of people: a multi-event program lets everyone choose an activity, with breakout rooms sized so each guest is seen and heard.
  • Budgets by team: a branded booking portal lets each team lead book from a catalog you approve.
  • Feedback: KraftyLab Intelligence sends a short survey to every participant with an email and summarizes the answers with AI.
