    Help, the CEO has been kidnapped! Company outing: for every kind of team

    Imagine that every company has its own dynamics, culture, and customs. Despite this, “Help, the Director Has Been Kidnapped” works surprisingly well with different types of teams, mainly because the game is flexible and everyone can contribute. For a young and inventive team, this outing is often a huge party. They really get into it, pour a lot of energy into it, and almost turn it into a play. The tension is combined with plenty of improvisation and chuckles—perfect for further fueling that relaxed, creative atmosphere. In more formal or hierarchical organizations, it has a refreshing effect. Imagine the boardroom, where the boss usually calls the shots. Now he or she is tied up (figuratively, of course) and the rest of the team has to figure it out. This takes the edge off the hierarchy and allows colleagues to get to know each other in a new way, without the usual roles. In teams that don’t know each other very well yet—for example, after a merger or when there are many new colleagues—this game immediately breaks the ice. You don’t have to politely introduce yourself in a round-robin discussion; instead, you’re working together on a mission. You get to know each other naturally through the way everyone reacts to riddles, tension, and crazy situations.

    Who will be the first to find the principal?

    It’s also ideal for larger companies or departments. You can create multiple teams working in parallel on the same mission. This creates a playful competition: who will find the CEO first? One group might come up with a brilliant solution, while another gets stuck somewhere and solves it in a hilarious way. It’s valuable even in smaller, close-knit teams. It doesn’t matter if you’re working with consultants, healthcare workers, techies, or marketers—everyone will end up in a role that suits them. And that’s exactly what makes it so suitable for diverse teams: no one is left on the sidelines, and everyone contributes something to saving the CEO.

    Not your typical company outing

    The funny thing is that people turn out to be completely different from what you’d expect. That quiet colleague you almost always forget about in meetings? Turns out to be a hero at deciphering cryptic riddles. And the manager who’s usually in control? You’ll see him fumbling with a child lock while laughing his head off. The game is full of unexpected twists. Sometimes you think: Yes, we’ve got him! only to find it’s a red herring. Then again, everything falls into place and it feels like you’re all unbeatable together. It goes from serious focus to fits of laughter, from tension to pure fun. And that’s actually the best part: it’s not just about saving that director. It’s about the adventure you experience together. You see new sides of each other, discover hidden talents, and create memories you’ll be recounting for a long time to come at the coffee machine. Because believe me, weeks later you’ll still hear someone say: “Remember when you couldn’t get that lock open?” “Help, the CEO has been kidnapped” is no ordinary company outing. It’s a story you step into yourself, full of humor, suspense, and unexpected plot twists. And yes, the CEO is counting on you. Are you up for the challenge?
