    Playground Global · Charity Bike Build

    A bike build with a shorter warmup

    Jasmine wanted Playground Global's Charity Bike Build to get to the hands-on part quickly. Her planning brief asked for a short opening round of challenges and help identifying a local donation organization. The Palo Alto booking paired a give-back activity with a practical question: how to make it easy for colleagues to join in from the start.

    Planning team building in Palo Alto

    The practical details to settle before your team arrives.

    How long does a team building event in Palo Alto last?

    The scavenger hunt itself typically lasts 90 minutes. Plan on up to 3 hours for the full experience, including the kickoff and awards show afterward. Game Shows run for 90 minutes. Tell us about your meeting schedule or dinner plans so we can help the fun fit your day.

    What group sizes can you accommodate in Palo Alto?

    The practical minimum is usually 8 people or at least two teams, depending on the game. We also plan events for hundreds of guests and larger conferences. Share your expected headcount so we can confirm the right format, venue capacity, team sizes, and staffing.

    How much walking is involved, and can the event be adapted?

    For a Palo Alto bike build, start with the workspace rather than a walking route. Confirm room to assemble bikes, delivery access, and any outdoor areas with your venue. Tell us about standing or seated participation needs before we plan the activities.

    Can you help us find and secure a venue?

    Yes. If you would like help with the location, our venue coordinator can help you find and secure a venue that suits your group and event. Venue coordination is optional, so you can also use your own office, hotel, or meeting space. We will confirm the venue arrangements and any associated costs with you.

    What happens if the weather changes?

    If rain is in the forecast, we can switch your scavenger hunt to a 90-minute indoor Game Show with enough advance notice to secure a suitable venue and arrange the change. Our venue coordinator can help find and secure that space if you choose. Talk with your producer early to confirm availability, timing, and any changes to your package.

    What does The Go Game handle, and what does our team arrange?

    We help you choose the game and location, prepare the game content, and coordinate the event plan. With an on-site host, we lead the kickoff and awards show; self-hosted packages give your organizer a different role. You share your headcount, schedule, access needs, and company content. If you choose, our venue coordinator can also help you find and secure a venue. Your proposal confirms the hosting, venue arrangements, food and drinks, AV, prizes, and custom additions included in your event.
