FROM KAZOOS TO KINDNESS: CLARIO’S MUSIC-FILLED GIVE BACK GAME

At Clario’s team event at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans, 200 employees didn’t just play a game, they played it forward. We designed an immersive, mission based Give Back Game experience inspired by The Go Game’s charity focused adventures, where competition meets community impact and teamwork builds something meaningful.

From the start, teams tackled a vibrant mix of trivia, creative challenges, and photo and video missions that got everyone laughing, collaborating, and thinking on their feet. But this was not about points for pride alone, it was about points with purpose. Inspired by Give Back Games that translate play into giving, teams earned rewards that ultimately became gifts for others.

A planted “struggling musicians” mission had teams banding together (literally) to cheer up an actor and jam on kazoos. As teams accumulated points, they unlocked real musical instruments including trumpets, saxophones, clarinets, and trombones, which became the heart of the experience’s big finish.

The most meaningful moment arrived when the instruments were donated to 20 students from Roots of Music, a local New Orleans foundation empowering youth through music. The students joined the game and played some tunes for the Clario teams with their marching band, turning a fun, competitive day into a heartfelt celebration of community, collaboration, and giving back.

The result was a team building experience that did not just connect colleagues, it connected them to something bigger than themselves. Friendly rivalry, laughter, and creativity blended seamlessly with generosity, leaving a lasting impression of joy, teamwork, and purpose.
