TEAM BUILDING
PLANNING YOUR EXPERIENCE
Inspired by Play offers interactive team-building experiences designed to help people connect, communicate, collaborate and have some serious fun. Experiences range from high-energy team challenges and game-show-style activities to charitable programs, creative challenges, conference activities and customized experiences.
We work with groups of many different sizes — from small teams to large corporate events with hundreds of participants. We’ll recommend the right activities and format based on your group size, space, goals and available time.
Most experiences can be customized to fit your schedule. Programs can range from quick conference energizers and 60–90 minute sessions to half-day or longer team experiences.
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. We can adapt activities around your objectives, company values, event theme, group size and location so the experience feels relevant to your team.
They can be — but competition is never the only point. We focus on connection, participation and creating an experience people actually enjoy. We can make the experience highly competitive, collaborative or somewhere in between.
No. Our programs are designed to be inclusive and adaptable. We want people participating at a level that works for them rather than feeling pressured into activities they aren’t comfortable doing.

BOOKING, PRICING & LOGISTICS
THE DETAILS MADE EASY
Pricing depends on the experience, number of participants, location, length of program and level of customization. Once we understand what you’re planning, we’ll provide clear options and pricing for your event.
The earlier the better, especially for larger events and popular dates. That said, if your event is coming up quickly, contact us anyway. If we can make it happen, we will.
Inspired by Play delivers experiences throughout Vancouver Island, Greater Vancouver and destinations across British Columbia. We can also travel for larger events, conferences and customized programs.
Typically, you provide the venue and we bring the experience. We work in hotels, conference centres, offices, resorts, parks, golf courses and other indoor and outdoor spaces. If you’re still choosing a location, we’re happy to discuss what works best for your program.
We take care of the team-building experience — including program planning, facilitation and the activity materials and equipment required for the program we’ve agreed upon. Before your event, we’ll confirm exactly what we’re bringing and anything we need from you or the venue.
Welcome to event planning in British Columbia! For outdoor programs, we’ll discuss weather considerations and backup options during the planning process. Depending on the experience and venue, we may adapt the program, move indoors or work with you on an alternative plan.
