Fingers on buzzers for the starter question! What do you get when you mix 90s-era game shows with contemporary corporate team-building events? No idea? Well, alright: we’ll forgive you if Your Showdown wasn’t the first thing that entered your head. After all, this Berlin startup only began hosting its challenge-filled company days a few weeks ago (it launched in June 2023). Run by game-mad Maximilian Muhle and co-owner Philipp Dieckmann out of an airy industrial building in Tempelhof, this offsite concept puts a proverbial spin on the corporate event, pitting employees against each other for a series of challenges that put brains, bravery and strategy to the test. An all-powerful game master leads the sessions, which last 2.5 hours and can be booked for up to 100 people divided into teams of four. The idea: participants gain new skills vying for top place while polishing those all-important teamworking and leadership abilities. The precise nature of the games will be revealed on the day: the game master will pick activities depending on the group playing (more than 100 games are offered). You will collaborate to put together the pieces before ousting the weakest link and taking your chances on the wheel of fortune. If you’re a team leader and want to give your colleagues a challenge, this mini retreat might be just the thing to take them outside of the box. Or perhaps into it? (On top of it?!) The game master will reveal all…
