Stay Indoors

For something a little different

There are lots of options available should you prefer to remain indoors. As well as building camaraderie, group mental challenges help develop communication skills, always important in teams! Beat the Box at TeamBuilding.ie. encourages players to work together under pressure towards a shared goal. It’s a mobile event too, meaning organisers will travel to a venue near you. Those seeking a spooky thrill meanwhile should opt for Adventure.ie’s Jailbreak. Set in the real (though no longer used) jails of Wicklow and Cork, teams must decipher clues in order to escape their cells! A little less intense (but equally fun) is Build an Irish Dairy Cow on a pretty Wicklow farm… the only catch is, you’re only allowed use balloons!

Or for a more Irish twist, a Bodhrán Workshop at Causey Farm teaches the art of playing the iconic Irish drum, while Irish Music Challenge by Rocket Events takes users on a journey through Ireland’s rock ‘n roll history.
