Hidden Door hosted a game show for our support team last week, and it was fantastic!

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions we get asked about team building activities and corporate events around Australia.
The best team building activities for work are ones every person can join in, whatever their fitness, age or personality – think game shows, survivor-style challenges, creative workshops and charity builds. Across more than 631,000 participants, the activities that rate highest all share one thing: nobody sits on the sidelines.
Most corporate team building activities in Australia cost $50-$100 per person, depending on group size and format. Tell us your date, group size and budget and we’ll send pricing and three tailored options within 2 business hours.
Game shows, survivor challenges and charity builds like Bikes 4 Tykes all scale brilliantly – we run them for teams of 10 to 1,000+. Large-group formats work best when people compete in small teams, so everyone stays involved no matter the headcount.
Five-minute icebreakers, trivia rounds and mini game-show segments slot easily into a meeting or conference agenda. They need little to no set-up and work for any group size – see our guide to 5-minute team building activities for ready-to-run ideas.
Neither is better – it depends on your venue, season and goals. Outdoor formats like billy kart derbies and urban golf bring energy and fresh air; indoor formats like game shows and creative workshops run anywhere, any time of year. Every outdoor activity we run has a built-in wet-weather plan, so weather never cancels your event.
