Let’s be honest, team outings can be hit or miss, especially when you just became part of an international team in the Netherlands. Bowling? Done it. Dinners? Tasting cultures, lovely, but not exactly bonding. Karaoke? Well, that depends on how brave you are (or how many drinks are included). But what if there was a team activity that didn’t just bring people together but made language and physical barriers disappear completely?
That is one of the reasons why Alex started VR Experiences.
What makes VR Team building the next thing?
Imagine slipping on a VR headset and finding yourself and your colleagues inside a virtual world where you need to solve puzzles, beat the clock and work together like your lives depend on it. No body language needed, just good communication skills, collaboration and a sense of adventure.
One of the standout VR experiences that is taking the Benelux by storm is VR The Bomb Battle, where teams have to crack cryptic codes and disarm a bomb before time runs out. It’s been a huge hit with English-speaking teams from IT companies, embassies and international businesses. Because when you’re racing against the clock in VR, you are not worrying about perfect language pronunciation, you are just thinking, shouting, pointing, laughing and solving together.
VR Experiences brings it to your office
And the best part? Companies like VR Experiences bring the entire VR team building setup directly to your office or any location you choose, anywhere across the Netherlands, Belgium or Luxembourg. No need for complicated logistics or travelling, just a full-blown virtual world popping up at your doorstep.
Whether it’s a high-tech IT office in Amsterdam, an embassy in The Hague or a co-working space in Brussels, VR Experiences makes sure everything is set up for you. They take care of the tech so you can focus on saving the world, or at least solving a few mind-bending puzzles together.
Escape rooms, but then virtual
Another fan favorite is the VR Escape Room or the zombie survival, where teams are thrown into bizarre, mind-bending scenarios and have to work together to find their way out. Again, no need for complicated instructions in five languages, just team sprit, hand eye coordination and loads of screaming!
Changing physical boundaries with VR
As companies shift towards hybrid and remote work, VR teambuilding is also evolving. New games are in the works that allow teams in different cities or even different countries to join forces in the same virtual world.
Imagine your Amsterdam office teaming up with colleagues in Berlin or Singapore, all trying to escape a digital dungeon together. It’s not just fun, it’s a completely new way of building trust and connection across borders.
Why your team will love it
For international teams, especially those made up of English-speaking expats, VR team building offers something traditional outings often miss. It’s inclusive, exciting and doesn’t require you to master gaming skills or advanced tech.
If you are tired of the same old company outings, team building events and looking for something that’s actually new, inclusive and a bit futuristic, VR teambuilding might just be the perfect next move to make lasting memories with your team.
