Planning a long-overdue team day? No boss wants the ‘team day’ to be an event their employees dread. HUONE Helsinki often hosts team days and the question we always get is this: ‘Do you have any ideas or suggestions for a team day activity?‘ So, here is the answer 🙂 We share with you here how you can not only activate, and boosts that team spirit, but also have fun together! All in Helsinki!
- Activities to get your heart-rate up
- Activities that are perfect for a summer day
- Activities that are the all-time favorites
Activities to get your heart-rate up
The team day often means getting out of your office and away from your desk. This is simply because of the benefits of doing something active outside. Spending more than just 15mins outside will not only lower our stress levels but also boosts our productivity and focus!
Bubble Ball Football
You might have seen it around in the parks, or fields. Can be played in teams of four or five. But you will definitely need a substitute for everyone. Laughter and fun are guaranteed. Tested by HUONE Team ourselves, and one warning we could give is…it might get competitive. Check it out here

Yoga
Mindfulness has been highlighted even more since the pandemic. How about starting the team day with 50minutes of light yoga before heading out for a nice dinner? Does yoga sound intimidating for some? Don’t worry! From HUONE’s experience, it is a very flexible activity as the level of the session can be adjusted for the audience. Easily made for beginners (also men!) and also can be fun! (how about a bubbly Yoga? 🥂)

Dance Time!
Fun guaranteed with this one too. You might worry that not everyone loves dancing or not everyone can dance. However, it DOES NOT MATTER, dance brings all! It can be a very easy one-hour basic dance class (e.g. Salsa Basics Steps), which can be hosted by friendly, professional dance teachers. It’s an active and fun activity that is great for everyone’s self-esteem and a massive mood booster!
All-time favorite Activities for a team day
Sometimes it’s hard to find THE activity everyone loves, within the budget, and it’s bookable on the day you want. So, there are also possibilities which can be organised at HUONE, so, no need to move around. Easy-breezy activities, that can be incorporated with dinner or lunch.
Cocktail School
Cocktail school is one of the most favored activities by many. You will start by learning/creating classic cocktails interactively (a very fun experience for those watching as well!) and after that, you can get creative and create your own unique cocktails.

Wine/Champaign Tasting with a Story
Experiential wine tastings offer an opportunity to get to know the world of wines and flavors under the guidance of Juha Lihtonen, the best award-winning sommelier in the Nordic.Â
Activities indoors for your team day
Murder mystery
Does your team love to solve problems? Then this is the perfect activity for you! Everyone will get their own character and start solving a murder! All characters will have their own storylines and aspirations, fun is guaranteed and you cannot avoid some back-stabling, conspiracy, and rumors. Tested in HUONE by our clients and everyone has loved it! This program is hosted by our partner Tuoni (10-60pax/starting from 50€ per person)
