An adventure planned around the Tempe office

Kristen booked a Classic Adventure for ZipRecruiter in Tempe. Her brief proposed a game area around the office rather than a separate downtown outing. Planning focused on the likely group size, a possible custom game zone, and whether AV would be needed once the venue arrangements were settled.

Planning team building in Tempe

The practical details to settle before your team arrives.

How long does a team building event in Tempe 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 Tempe?

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 Tempe office-based event, confirm the permitted game area and walking range before planning outdoor challenges. Share break needs and any seated participation requirements. Discuss the time of day, weather plan, and AV arrangements with your producer once the venue is confirmed.

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 heat or rain could affect your outdoor event, discuss an indoor Game Show alternative with your producer. A switch requires enough advance notice to secure a suitable venue and arrange the change. Game Shows run for 90 minutes. Our venue coordinator can help find and secure a space if you choose. Confirm availability, timing, and any changes to your package before the event.

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.
