Build a Bike - Outdoor Charity Team Building
One of our most successful experiences for over 15 years that has resulted in over 3500 bikes being donated to charity.
Get out of the office and into the sunshine with this team building event that will see teams of 4-6 people assigned a bike frame and battling other teams in multiple rounds to earn advantages (or disadvantages!) when it comes time to build their bike.
The Build a Bike activity culminates in teams building bikes that go to kids being supported by our charity partners. (And don’t worry, we get every bike checked by our bike mechanic before the kids receive it!)
Entertaining and highly rewarding, Build a Bike is the ideal team CSR experience.

Hidden Door Experiences are proud to partner with Weave and Brainwave Bikes where the majority of the bikes are donated to assist families living throughout Sydney and Melbourne. If you have a charity of choice that you would like the bikes donated to, we’re more than happy so please chat with our team.
All of the challenges are bike-related to keep in theme.
Work up a sweat in Pump up the Jam and Pedal Power while you can flex your brainpower challenges like Bike Trivia and Bucket-Head.
The purpose is to be social, start laughing and connect with your team.
Team scores are tallied at the halfway point so that teams can begin building their bike based on how they are ranked on the leaderboard.
The final 30 minutes is where the hard work pays off and teams begin to build their bike.
If you aren’t handy with the tools or can’t build Ikea furniture, don’t sweat it, our team are onsite to help you along the way but we’ll also have a bike mechanic give each bike a thorough check before they go to their new recipients.
Whether you’re looking to give back, bring people together, or just get the team into the sunshine, Build a Bike is a memorable and meaningful way to do all three.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
We have used Hidden Door for past team building events and will do so again in the future.
They even asked to run it again periodically throughout the year.
They understood the flow of logistics, how to get people pumped up and involved and how to communicate.
