27 Awesome Venues and Activities For Team Building In Charlotte
1. Techno Rally: A (high octane!) App-based Scavenger Hunt
Like the idea of doing a scavenger hunt in Charlotte? Firefly Team Events’ scavenger hunt isn’t the typical fare — but it will take your team on a wacky, hilarious journey from start to finish!
Participants will use our app to work their way through as many as 60 zany photo or video-based missions before time runs out. Challenges may include giving a stranger a piggyback ride or creating a fashion piece out of items you find in your venue. Each team keeps track of their own points—and those of their competitors—on the leaderboard.
Choose from one of our awesome themes (Crazy Eighties anyone??) or build an adventure based on your own theme. You can also include custom trivia that involves your people, brand, and work culture, and opt for custom challenges that highlight the individual strengths of your team. In other words: This is YOUR version of a scavenger hunt, exactly as you want it!
Pricing: $3,000 for up to 30 people; $9,000 for 250 people; or onward and upward!

2. Ramp It Up: Skateboard For Charity
If you want your team-building activity to serve a double-purpose — one of giving back to the community and boosting morale — try our popular CSR skateboard event (or another type of charity event).
This event is two hours of nonstop smiling as your team assembles and decorates skateboards for local youngsters. But it isn’t as straightforward as it might seem — we designed this activity with a few obstacles to help foster team spirit and heighten the fun. Your team will need to complete a variety of challenges to earn the supplies needed to build amazing boards.
At the end is the perfect payoff: You hand over your newly designed skateboards to a representative of the receiving charity. Past participants have told us it’s one of the best parts of the day!

3. Tournament-style Team Building Activities
Is your team competitive and energetic? Firefly hosts every kind of team tournament you can possibly think of. (Try us!!) Think pickleball, dodgeball, combat games, lawn games, leisure olympics… the possibilities are endless!
We handle all the logistics, from gear to tournament organization to scorekeeping and more. Simply tell us the type of game or sport you’d like to unleash on your unsuspecting coworkers or clients and we’ll make it happen.
Competitive events are great for team building because playing individually is a losing strategy. Throughout the course of a game, your team will come to understand that nugget of wisdom and see the importance of working as a team. Plus, competitive team-building activities spark the desire and determination to WIN (something that we suspect will inevitably come in handy now and again at the office).
