Top Experiences That Build Stronger, Happier Teams
Singapore’s corporate culture is evolving — and so is the way teams bond, communicate, and collaborate. In 2025, forward-thinking companies are moving beyond the usual retreats and workshops. They’re choosing creative, immersive, and meaningful team building activities that boost morale, drive performance, and foster trust.
At DBD Hub, we specialise in curating corporate wellness and team development experiences that leave a lasting impact. Whether your goal is to encourage collaboration, improve communication, or simply inject some fun into your workplace, here are our top team building activities in Singapore for 2025:
1. Domino Cause & Effect
Key benefits: Accountability • Cooperation • Systems thinking
This powerful activity illustrates how every small action (or inaction) can create a ripple effect. Teams work together to build a seamless domino chain, where every tile must fall perfectly. Just like in real-world projects, one misstep could affect the whole system. A true exercise in accountability, coordination, and precision.
2. Boom Shakalaka
Key benefits: Team synergy • Learning together • Confidence-building
Can your team learn to read and play music in under 90 minutes? With Boom Shakalaka, yes they can! Using percussion instruments, participants go from beginners to a full-blown performance team. This energising session proves that with trust and teamwork, anything is possible — even making sweet music together.
3. Why You So Like That?
Key benefits: Self-awareness • Empathy • Conflict reduction
Every team is made up of diverse personalities. This session helps individuals reflect on their own strengths while recognising the unique traits of their teammates. With fun elements like animal figurine creation and personality profiling, teams build a deeper understanding of each other — leading to greater harmony and fewer misunderstandings.
4. Squid Game Challenge
Key benefits: Motivation • Strategy • High-adrenaline fun
Inspired by the popular K-drama, this thrilling experience pushes teams to compete — and collaborate — in a series of intense games. Some may have to “sacrifice” themselves for the greater good, testing loyalty and courage. Perfect for high-energy teams ready for a bold adventure.
5. Paint Our Masterpiece
Key benefits: Communication • Precision • Strategic planning
Bring out your team’s inner artist in this collaborative mural painting challenge. Each team paints a portion of a larger image with limited communication. The final artwork only aligns if everyone executes their section with precision. It’s a creative metaphor for cross-departmental collaboration in the workplace.
6. A Minute 2 Win It
Key benefits: Adaptability • Resilience • Fun under pressure
In a fast-paced, carnival-style setting, teams tackle rapid-fire challenges designed to mirror today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous, and hyperconnected (VUCAH) world. It’s adrenaline-packed fun that teaches agility, focus, and resilience.
7. Pirates of the Caribbean Adventure
Key benefits: Role-playing • Outdoor bonding • Problem-solving
Get ready for treasure hunts, escape missions, and pirate costumes! This outdoor adventure is ideal for seaside resorts and open spaces. Teams must strategise, dress up, and hunt for Blackbeard’s gold while dodging enemy “soldiers.” Expect fun, laughter, and loads of team spirit.
8. The Fish Market
Key benefits: Customer-centric mindset • Business simulation • Role-play
Run a business for two hours — but be ready for challenges. From managing cash flow and marketing to navigating production bottlenecks, this simulation helps teams understand how each role impacts the customer experience. A fun and insightful way to link daily work with overall business success.
9. CSI – The Deeper Truth
Key benefits: Critical thinking • Risk-taking • Collaboration
There’s been a murder. Your team must solve it. Interview suspects, gather clues, and piece together the puzzle in this CSI-inspired mystery game. Ideal for encouraging analytical thinking, bold decision-making, and trust among colleagues.
10. Chef’s Table – Tapas Challenge
Key benefits: Creativity • Culinary collaboration • Leadership
Cooking under pressure can bring out the best — or worst — in a team. In this challenge, participants plan, cook, and plate their tapas dishes while managing a budget and minimising waste. Judged on taste, presentation, and teamwork, this activity is as delicious as it is dynamic.
11. How the Ant Moved a Mountain
Key benefits: Leadership • Communication • Vision alignment
Ever seen ants move a mountain? This signature program explores how highly effective teams function. Ideal for onboarding or kick-off workshops, it reinforces the importance of synergy, structure, and shared purpose — across departments and roles.
12. Bridging Teamwork
Key benefits: Project management • Collaboration • Agile mindset
Using satay sticks, each team builds a section of a bridge that must connect seamlessly and support weight. With limited time and SCRUM-inspired practices, this is a hands-on project that reflects real-world planning, execution, and cross-team alignment.
13. From Plan to Plane
Key benefits: Innovation • Remote teamwork • Systems thinking
Design and build a futuristic space vehicle — while half your team is “remote.” Just like real global organisations, this challenge teaches effective communication, delegation, and coordination across distances. Will your plane fly or flop?
14. The Mole
Key benefits: Trust • Culture building • Self-awareness
Rumours and gossip can quietly destroy team morale. This eye-opening activity shows how easily misinformation spreads — and the damage it causes. Teams learn to recognise toxic communication, fostering a healthier and more respectful workplace culture.
15. ESG-Inspired Team Building
Key benefits: Sustainability awareness • Creativity • Community impact
Incorporate your organisation’s ESG goals into your team building. Choose from:
- Terrarium Building: Learn about ecosystems in a fun, hands-on way.
- Drum Circle with Recyclables: Turn everyday waste into rhythm and music.
- Art Jamming for a Cause: Create art using recycled materials, and auction them to support local charities.
16. Go Get Health
Key benefits: Wellness • Mindfulness • Healthy habits
This half-day programme focuses on personal well-being and team wellness. It includes energising exercises, mindfulness practices, and a healthy food hunt. A great way to promote physical and mental health in the workplace.
17. Amazing Race: Food & Heritage Edition
Key benefits: Cultural appreciation • Exploration • Local bonding
Explore the rich heritage and local flavours of Singapore through exciting race challenges across Little India, Chinatown, Katong, and more. Ideal for MICE groups, foreign staff, or locals looking to reconnect with Singapore’s vibrant culture.
