Discover a multitude of team building activities to run with your teams in Paris in the Comet Meetings venues.
Almost a year and a half without seeing each other in person, with virtual meetings and virtual drinks and random coffees to meet the company's new employees remotely...
Shared conclusion: we badly need to get together again and share some real moments, don't we?
What is a team building? What is it for?
Let's start at the beginning. Yes, a Team Building activity has a real role to play in the life of a company and in its development. Its purpose is to bring your teams together and to establish a climate of trust between them in order to reach the objectives that have been set.
It is the perfect moment to reboost your teams in an atypical venue and to forget the daily grind of everyday life. Everyone's personality comes out and it is the moment when the people who usually stay in the background let themselves go far more easily. It can also accentuate the rise of future leaders. There is no shortage of activity ideas to stimulate all of that, and no shortage of venues to host them either!
Choose the seminar space dedicated to organising your team building
Every Comet meeting room is different and customisable in terms of table layout and equipment, depending on your team building objectives. Discover our atypical venues and choose from the best Parisian meeting rooms for your corporate event.

So, which team building activities can you do at Comet Meetings?
We have a wide panel of partners able to offer THE team building that will meet your objective. Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of games (or activities) offered in our meeting venues:
- The 60 seconds challenge
Take part in a succession of Quizzes and challenges as wacky as they are brand new. Be strategic, agile, fast and crazy enough to make your team win during this original team building. Communication and team cohesion will be the keys to your success! Original quizzes, themed blind tests, tests of agility, speed, balance and precision. All the ingredients are there to share a fun and dynamic moment together through all sorts of challenges… in less than 60 seconds flat. A playful team building activity offered by 2ISD and set on a humorous tone that will allow every participant to test their many skills while having a great time. And why not, snatch the final victory! Good mood guaranteed, watch out for sore losers! 😮
- The cocktail workshop
Learn to create your own cocktail recipes with WeCanDoo. This will be followed by a very condensed cocktail class where you
will focus on the key notions of cocktail taste! In small teams, you will create your own recipes. Creating the cocktails you fancy, the ones that look like you, to be composed with dozens of ingredients. Building, ingredient by ingredient, brick by brick, unique and tasty cocktails. After several recipes made by your own hands, you will present and serve your cocktail to the other teams.
- The leather goods workshop
Whether you are a fan of "Do It Yourself" or quite the opposite, this activity will please you for sure! WeCanDoo offers you the chance to make your own glasses case, your envelope pouch (perfect for passports and ID cards) and your Navigo pass holder. "Once the model has been chosen, you pick your leather from a wide selection before deciding on the colour of the thread with which you are going to assemble the different leather parts. Then comes the stage of drawing and cutting with the templates. A meticulous activity. Once the hides have been cut, you will discover how to use the sewing clamp that lets you achieve the famous saddle stitch, the indestructible stitch originally created for horse saddles. To finish, you carry out the finishing work with gum arabic and buffing."
- The nomadic escape game
The escape game has become a powerful event game format to train, to communicate or even to recruit! With a nomadic format, Coqs en pâte offers playful games that will involve all your teams in a good mood. Yes, everyone! Each person will have their role to play and will be able to bring their own piece to the puzzle to solve the riddles and the various games on offer.
- Virtual reality
Thanks to our partner Barry's VR, plunge your teams into the world of virtual reality. An activity to be done as a group with the aim of developing cohesion and communication within the teams. But also of giving them the opportunity to discover a new, innovative technology. On the programme for example:
- Escape Game VR: Defuse a bomb as a team.
- Creativity VR: Discover the new generation Pictionary to challenge participants in a creative contest.
- & more
Sports activities, graffiti workshop, Kapla, oenology, ... etc. Over to you to tell us!

When is the right time to organise your team building in Paris?
There are strategic periods for organising a corporate event of this type.
- The back-to-work season
The September return is one of them. Your teams are coming back from holiday, they thought they would come back with maximum energy but it is quite the opposite. They come back more tired than before and need a boost. A perfect moment to organise a team building activity in a third place: friendly atmosphere and good mood guaranteed.
- The end-of-year holidays
As the end-of-year holidays approach, employee motivation dips slightly (or even a lot?), so here is a remedy to keep your employees motivated: team building. Nothing better for letting off the pressure.
- Onboarding
Useful for strengthening the bonds between employees, team building can also make it easier to integrate new colleagues. Directly involved, they will tend to let themselves go more and to erase the potential post-arrival stress. It is also important to mix the groups between the company's departments. Why? It avoids the creation of little groups within the company itself and partly prevents the split between teams.
Let's build this moment together according to the objective you have chosen: celebrating, rewarding, congratulating, uniting, driving a dynamic, making a lasting impression and marking the highlights.
Choose the group Team building activity for your corporate events
In the end, it hardly matters which Team building activity you are going to choose for your teams. What matters is that you achieve the objectives set beforehand. If it is a success, do not stop there and schedule a future team building in the months to come, this time involving your teams for the activity ideas, the games, for example.
After the complicated period we have just been through (over, we hope), it is important to work on team cohesion to re-motivate your employees. Reboosting your teams can be really useful for creativity, for productivity and potentially a source of new ideas.
Over to you!
