Team building for consulting firms

Team building for consulting firms works when it fits the week consultants actually have: a Friday or evening slot after client travel, about 60 minutes, and one video call that reaches every office and time zone. We book hosted games, kit workshops and skills sessions with live prices.

Team building for consultants, by when they are free

Pick the slot first, then the activity. Each one has a live host or instructor, runs about 60 minutes, and shows its live price.

Cocktail kits contain alcohol and need an adult (21+) signature at delivery. See every activity, or how formats compare for any company on corporate team building.

Where team building fits in a travel week

Consultants on client sites Monday to Thursday have two real windows: Friday, and an evening when the case team is together.

  • Monday to Thursday

    Leave the travel days alone

    If your teams fly out Monday and home Thursday, anything on those days competes with the client. Don't ask.
  • Friday, midday

    The default slot

    Friday at 12:00 pm Eastern reaches New York, Chicago and San Francisco, and London before the end of its day.
  • Weeknight, 6:00 pm

    For a case team on site

    A hosted game plays fine from one laptop in a team room. Book it for the week the whole team is in one city.
  • Quarterly all-hands

    Add an hour to a meeting you already hold

    Put the game straight after the all-hands, when the office is already on the call.

Short formats for a team that tracks utilization

Every non-billable hour gets noticed. Five habits that keep a team event from feeling like one.

  • One hour, and the invite says so. Every activity here runs about 60 minutes with a live host.
  • Name the internal code. Tell people which non-billable code to charge the hour to before they ask.
  • Partners join first. Staff come when the people who staff them are visibly on the call.
  • Nothing to prepare. Hosted games need only the link; kits need an address, entered by each person.
  • Book it once for the year. A multi-event program puts every quarter on the calendar in one go.

One practice, many time zones

No single hour works from San Francisco to Singapore. Run the same event twice and let each office pick its session.

Hosted games need no shipping, so they suit every office. For a kit, pick one that ships beyond the US, like Coffee Tasting: Canada and other countries add a shipping charge, addresses are due 4 weeks before, so book about 5 weeks out. US clocks change on March 14, 2027 and Europe's on March 28, 2027, so New York and London sit 4 hours apart for those two weeks. More on global team building.

Consulting firm team building questions

What is good team building for consulting firms?

Short, hosted formats that fit around client work: a 60-minute game on a Friday when consultants are off site, a kit workshop in the evening for a practice social, and a presentation skills workshop for new analysts. Run it on one video call so every office and time zone can join.

When should a consulting firm schedule team building?

If your consultants travel Monday to Thursday, use Friday. Friday at 12:00 pm Eastern reaches every US office and London before the end of its day. A case team on site can also play a hosted game on a weeknight from one laptop.

How do we include offices in Europe and Asia?

Run two sessions. Friday at 12:00 pm Eastern covers the Americas and Europe; Thursday at 8:00 pm Eastern is Friday morning in Singapore and noon in Sydney. Hosted games need no shipping. Some kits, like Coffee Tasting, ship to Canada and other countries for an added charge, with addresses due 4 weeks before.

What are good consulting team offsite ideas?

Give the offsite one shared activity with a host, so the partners are not running it. In 17 US cities a host can run games like Feud Night at your office; anywhere else, a hosted virtual game works on the room screen.

How far ahead do we need to book?

About 2 weeks for a hosted game and about 3 weeks for a kit workshop with US addresses. With guests in Canada or abroad, book about 5 weeks out.

How much does team building for a consulting firm cost?

Quiz Showdown! costs $975 for a case team of 15 and $1,195 for an office of 40. Kit workshops are a base fee plus a price per guest, with continental US shipping included. Every activity page shows the price for your headcount.

Can we pay by invoice or purchase order?

Yes. Reserve by card with a 50% deposit, or book with a purchase order and get an invoice instead of a card charge. Enterprise customers can use monthly invoicing and set budgets for each team.
