Once Upon a Time...
In 2013, we started Museum Hack, leading unconventional tours of the best museums for thousands of happy tourists, first-dates, friend groups and more. Celebrities like Emilia Clarke, Tony Hawk and Lin-Manuel Miranda toured with us too. This venture organically grew to include team building events for companies like Google, Johnson & Johnson, and Chipotle. In 2016 we launched Team Building Hero, the origin of our marketplace and flagship experiences like The Great Guac Off and Gingerbread Wars.
In 2020, we rebranded as teambuilding.com, which rapidly expanded with virtual team building events during Covid. Popular virtual events include Online Office Games, tiny campfire, Murder in Ancient Egypt, Virtual Holiday Party and Ultimate Game Show. During the height of the pandemic, we helped sustain morale and connections for tens of thousands of newly remote teams, including companies like Apple, Netflix, and Spotify, as well as government agencies in the US, Canada and globally, such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NASA, and the US Air Force.
We call our collection of in-person and virtual experiences "Originals", which are led by our expert host team. To date, we have hosted 45,000+ teambuilding.com Originals events for 1,000,000+ participants, earning 83,000+ reviews with an average rating of 4.96 / 5.0 across Google and our verified ratings platform, with a Net Promoter Score of +88 from event organizers. In a 12-month survey of 3,855 teambuilding.com clients, 97.64% said the overall experience met or exceeded expectations — the most common response: "Far above expectations!"
Our experiences have been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Economist. In 2021, the Inc. 5000 listed teambuilding.com as the #1 fastest growing private B2B company in America and #15 overall.
Along the way, we learned exactly what makes a team building experience successful, and we have helped hundreds of thousands of teams find the best team building activity for their goals and preferences. Now, our site organizes that expertise in an easy to discover way.

What Our Hosts Have Learned
Originals are led by a team of 75+ hosts with performance backgrounds, almost all of them employees. Every host completes training in group dynamics, participant engagement, and inclusive facilitation, and the lessons they bring back from thousands of events shape how we design the next one.
“Mix your teams up, engage participants with people that they maybe don't see all the time. This gets people more easily and actively on-camera and off-mute, and puts everyone on a level playing field.”
“My top tip is to integrate fun and casual connections like virtual coffee breaks or quick icebreakers. A little personal connection goes a long way in creating an inclusive team.”
“Listen to your participants as if they're running the show! You can get a lot of free info that'll clue you in to little adjustments you can create to make it feel like a more personal experience.”
