Five activities with your colleagues that do not include coffee

Five team building activities to do with your colleagues that aren’t a coffee break

The workplace is one of the places we spend the most time outside of our own home. So having a good community with your colleagues is essential to working well together - and feeling good. Having work-focused team-building sessions have their place, but why not have ongoing activities that are more about just having fun together? Here are five ideas - that aren't work - to strengthen relationships with your colleagues:

Digital escape room

Collaboration-based challenges and puzzles are a brilliant way to break the ice. A digital escape room can bring colleagues together, whether they’re in the office or working from home. Solving tricky tasks as a team is also a great way to discover each of your colleagues' unique problem-solving strengths.

Tip! Create an inviting space that works for both meetings and activities. Our range includes everything from classic conference tables to decorative artificial plants, acoustic panels and lighting - perfect for making any room feel welcoming.

Add puzzles

Working together in your professional roles is one thing, collaborating on something completely outside your job - but at work - is another. Set up a puzzle on a spare table so colleagues can drop by, add a few pieces together, and have a casual chat in the process.

Exercise together

Step away from your desks and enjoy some group exercise at lunchtime. Whether it's a run, a yoga session or simply a brisk walk, it is positive for both team spirit and wellbeing. Plus, it gives everyone a welcome energy boost for the afternoon.

Friday quiz

Who doesn’t love a good quiz? The options are endless - play in teams or go solo. Rotate who hosts each week and let them choose the theme, or pick a ready-made quiz from online resources.

Coffee club

For many, the coffee break is sacred, but it can be even better. Set up a rota where someone brings coffee for the whole team once a week or month. It doesn’t need to be fancy or homemade - just a shared moment that’s about more than the drink itself.
