How we run 50, 100, 250 and 1,000 people
The game stays the same as the group grows. What changes is the number of rooms, the help behind the scenes and, at the top end, how many tracks run at once.

For 300 people
50 teams of about 6 in breakout rooms on one big stage. At this size we may add a tech assistant.

One host, eight or nine teams
The host opens on the main call, sends teams of about six into breakout rooms and brings everyone back for reveals. This is the classic shape; any hosted game on this page works.100 people
Same game, more rooms
Around 17 teams. The format does not change because every team answers every round at once. We may add a tech assistant to look after rooms and chat while the host keeps the energy up.250 people
One big stage, or let people choose
A single game still works and feels like a real event. Send a team list ahead of time if you want departments mixed, or ask about splitting the group into choices.1,000 people
Parallel activity tracks
People pick their activity in a pre-event survey: a game show, trivia or a kit workshop. Each choice gets its own room and facilitator, and the event opens and closes together. See multi-event programs.
Company-wide? We have run a single 60-minute event for 1,000 registered employees across four parallel activity tracks.

Two or three minutes, no slides. A long opening speech is the most common way big events lose the room before the fun starts.

Every team plays each round at once. Between rounds everyone returns to the main stage for the reveal and the leaderboard, which is what makes 300 people feel like one event.

If you have an announcement, put it here, while people are still smiling. Then let them go on time.
Four things to settle before the day
- Check your platform limits. Look up your video plan's participant cap and breakout-room settings before invites go out. Zoom is our default; Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request.
- Decide teams ahead. Random teams are fine at 40 people. At 200, a team list (by office, by department, or deliberately mixed) gets everyone playing minutes sooner.
- Keep the opening short. A CEO welcome works best at two or three minutes. Save announcements for the end, when energy is highest.
- Count registrations, not invites. Plan rooms around who registered and expect a few no-shows. The host can rebalance teams on the day.
Everyone in one office? Feud Night, Team Trivia, Music Bingo and Blitz-Speed Trivia also run in person in 17 US cities. Planning an all-hands or offsite? See large virtual events.
Kits at scale: one box per person, tracked to every door
A hands-on workshop for a big group means a lot of boxes. We pack and ship a kit to each participant, track every one, and confirm delivery before the event. Continental US shipping is included; Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and international addresses are add-ons.
Book kit events at least 3 weeks ahead (3 to 4 weeks with international addresses) and send the address list as early as you can. If a few people cannot get a kit in time, we plan around it so nobody sits out. Details on global kit shipping.

Read the case studyLarge group questions
What are the best team building activities for large groups?
Formats where every team plays every round at the same time: hosted trivia, game shows, bingo and Family Feud-style games. People play in small teams in breakout rooms and come back to the main stage for reveals, so a big group never means waiting for a turn.
How many people can join one virtual event?
Big groups play as more teams, each in its own breakout room, and we may add a tech assistant. For company-wide events we split into parallel activity tracks: we have run a single 60-minute event for 1,000 registered employees across four parallel activity tracks.
How do breakout rooms work for a big group?
The host opens on the main call, then teams of about six go into their own breakout rooms to answer each round. Everyone returns to the main room for reveals and the leaderboard. You can send a team list ahead of time, or let the host mix teams.
Can a large group do a kit workshop?
Yes. We ship a kit to every participant's home and a host leads the session. Continental US shipping is included; Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and international addresses are add-ons. Book at least 3 weeks ahead, or 3 to 4 weeks for international addresses.
Can different people do different activities in one event?
Yes. A pre-event survey lets each person choose an activity, and each choice runs in its own room with its own facilitator. The event still opens and closes together, so it feels like one party.
How far ahead should we book a large event?
Hosted games need at least 2 weeks, kit workshops 3 weeks, and custom questions or branding 4 weeks. For company-wide events with tracks or kits, earlier gives you better host availability and more room for shipping.
Do you do in-person events for large groups?
Yes. Feud Night, Team Trivia, Music Bingo and Blitz-Speed Trivia run in person at your office or venue in 17 US cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, DC.
How much does large group team building cost?
Hosted games start from about $34 a person and are priced in packages, so the per-person price depends on your group size. Kit workshops start from $45 a person plus a base fee. Send us your headcount and you get a full quote within 24 hours.
