A Summer Break

HEART BEATS TO HIGH FIVES WITH Element Science

When your product literally saves lives by restarting hearts mid-crisis, a sheet cake in the breakroom doesn’t quite cut it.

This incredible team from Element Science —creators of a wearable defibrillator designed to deliver life-saving intervention exactly when it’s needed—had hit a major milestone. After a cardiac event, patients are at high risk for another. Once implanted, the device can restart the heart and keep the patient stable until emergency care arrives

To celebrate, they brought the whole team together for something a little different: a ferry ride to Angle Island, a massive picnic, and a Classic Go Game to tie it all together.

We kicked off the game as soon as we landed, turning their group into clue-solvers, mission-completers, and yes—very enthusiastic dance challengers. The game also wove in some local history, revealing stories and landmarks around the island. There may have even been a cartwheel or two on the lawn. (It was that kind of day.)

After the game, the team stretched out on the lawn for a big picnic, conversation, and maybe a little victory lounging. The vibe was light, connected, and fully deserved.

One last spark: their CEO had played a Go Game with us years ago and brought us back for this moment. Turns out some things—like a good game and a well-timed jolt—leave a lasting impression!

"We recently used The Go Game for a company-wide team-building event on Angel Island, and it was a success! Employees from our senior executives to our most junior team members, everyone had a blast. Robin, our host, was phenomenal. She had the perfect mix of energy and presence to keep all 65 participants fully engaged throughout the event. She knew how to command attention without ever being overbearing, and her ability to connect with such a large, diverse group really stood out.

The best part? People left having made new connections with colleagues they'd never interacted with before. That sense of camaraderie and team spirit is exactly what we were hoping to foster and The Go Game delivered. If you're looking for a team-building experience that's fun, inclusive, and actually effective, I highly recommend The Go Game. Your team will love it and talk about it long after the event is over!"
