Gingerbread Games, an all-new version of our most popular holiday event, Gingerbread Wars, is a fast-paced, wildly fun team-building event perfect for adding a touch of sweet and spice to your holiday season.

During your event, your team will unbox their gingerbread house kits with everything needed to compete in an epic holiday showdown. Then, your high-energy holiday host will lead your group through gingerbread games and other holiday-themed competitions to crown your team's ultimate gingerbread champion.

These mini games give teams the chance to fine-tune their teamwork, all while good-naturedly ribbing other teams and earning extra decorations.

Finally, the main event – teams race against the clock, battle the laws of frosting physics, and unleash their collective creativity to build the most unique and often hilarious gingerbread houses you've ever seen.

Your host arranges for the kits to arrive at your location, handles set up and clean up, and makes sure that your teams have the most delightful and delicious time imaginable.

It's a holiday blast!

Pick the setting that works best for your team and our hosts will take care of the rest.
