1. Swingers mini-golf

Book a private space at Swingers West End or Swingers City for a guaranteed good time. Enjoy cocktails as you meander around the stylish mini-golf course (that’s not a sentence we thought we’d ever utter) engaging in a little friendly competition. Try Swingers for £13 per person per round of golf or £10 off-peak (Monday – Wednesday before 5pm).  Find out more here.

2. The Big Smoke Events scavenger hunt

Who doesn’t love a scavenger hunt? The Big Smoke Events put on the very best in London. Voted ‘Best Team Day’ by InStyle Magazine, their hilarious and exciting challenges reflect what they believe events should be: unique, fun, competitive, and of course, collaborative. Experience a race against the clock, lots of laughter, and create great memories.

3. Bounce ping-pong

Have a civilised sit-down meal to begin with, before enjoying a workout with a difference. Once you’ve finished pretending not to care who wins, prepare to thrash your opponents in a game of competitive table tennis.  Find out more here.

4. London Shuffle Club

There’s nothing like a bit of healthy competition to bond a team, right? Shuffle along to Shoreditch for the UK’s first permanent floor-based shuffleboard club. There’s are also a cocktail bar, craft beers, and hand-made pizzas on-site for your team while you play. Find out more here.
