About the game

It's Christmas Eve and the sorting office is overflowing. Each team runs its own depot in the network, solving puzzles to sort its sacks of letters and parcels.

But some parcels are addressed to other depots. To get them where they need to go, teams have to pass them on and rely on each other, because one depot's missing parcel might be sitting in another's sack.

This is the one game where teams don't compete: the whole company wins if every letter is delivered by midnight. It's ideal for organisations where departments don't talk to each other as much as they'd like.

What to expect

  • A cooperative game where the whole company wins together
  • Puzzles to sort each depot's sacks
  • Parcels passed between teams in real time
  • A countdown to midnight that everyone shares

Questions

Is there a winning team?

Not in the usual way. Teams work together, and the whole company wins if every letter is delivered by midnight.

Why choose a cooperative game?

It gets different teams and departments talking to each other, which makes it great for bringing a whole organisation together.

How does a hosted virtual game work?

Everyone joins your usual video call. We split the group into teams of up to 10, each in its own breakout room with a dedicated host who shares the game on screen and types in the answers the team agrees on. A live leaderboard keeps the competition going.

How far ahead do we need to book?

At least 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. Same-day sessions are sometimes possible on request: book as usual and we will confirm as quickly as we can.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

There is no maximum. The minimum booking is £150 + VAT, so groups under 13 people pay the minimum.
