UNLOCK THE POWER OF PLAY
Transform your team with the ultimate team building activity, a curated board game experience.
OUR BOARD GAME EXPERIENCE: A GAME PLAN FOR GREAT TEAMS
Team building helps form bonds and connections between employees, and across departments. It increases communication and employee collaboration as they get to know each other in a fun and motivational environment. If you want to enhance company culture and boost your teams performance while engaging your employees, team building is the ideal tool. It will build trust between employees, and foster their creativity through problem solving games.
And last but not least, it will help your company show appreciation to your teams!
WHY WE ♡ GAMES
Games bring people together in a way that no other team-building activity can. Studies show that engaging employees in play stimulates bonding and learning that can't be created around a conference table:
Practice strategic thinking
Improve problem-solving
Increase creativity
Encourage cooperation
Bond with laughter
Playing stimulates brain areas responsible for memory formation and complex thinking. Science has proven that getting employees out of the office and engaging in play helps practice essential cognitive skills such as decision-making, higher-level strategic thinking, and problem-solving.
An additional side effect of board game playing is laughter. Laughing and having a good time help decrease stress, which most high-performing teams need from time to time. Playing board games triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemical. And who wouldn't want that for their staff?
WHY SNAKES & LATTES?
Snakes & Lattes is unique. We offer many things that traditional board game cafes don’t, including:
A curated selection of hundreds of board games - something for every group
Unique expertise carried by our selected Game Experts
A large and modern space with a capacity of up to 200 guests
One location for both board game team building experience and food & beverage
Our team is made up of passionate and engaging individuals, dedicated to creating experiences that enhance time management, problem-solving, and collaborative thinking, all while keeping the focus on fun for your group. We bring out the playfulness in your teams so they collaborate better and get more done.
Games have an inexhaustible potential for cooperation, fun, thinking outside the box, and breaking down barriers. We'd love to bring some of this magic of games to your team.
What kinds of games do all this and are a ton of fun to play? Below are some of the game categories we have curated specifically because they enhance team building:
CO-OP GAMES
Work together to win the game! These games help increase communication, encourage teamwork, and prioritize the team's needs over individual ones.
TEAM vs TEAM GAMES
Get everyone involved without traditional competitiveness. These games are great for sales teams who want a safe, friendly environment to let off some steam.
PITCHING GAMES
These games are all about the art of the sale! They highlight showmanship, reading the room, healthy competition, and performing under pressure—great for timid team members.
ICE BREAKER GAMES
Not every team naturally meshes with other groups. Ice breaker games are a great way to help people who aren't used to working together bond quickly without feeling forced.
SPICIER GAMES
Do you have a high-performing team you want to take in a different direction? These games aren’t for everyone, but for the right group, they provide a level of gamesmanship you can’t find with just any game.
TRIVIA GAMES
Trivia is a great team-bonding activity. It fosters healthy competition while also providing an engaging platform for learning and growing as a team. Plus, it’s just downright fun!
FUN GAMES!
Not every group engagement has to lead to specific outcomes. Sometimes, what teams need is just to get out of the office and share laughter together.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TEAM BUILDING?
During the first 30 minutes of the Team Building, our Game Experts will introduce the group to a series of our breadstick games as an icebreaker/warm up.
Then the group will have 90 minutes to play some of our purely co-operative games.
The last hour of the event will be an opportunity to play team-based games such as Codenames, Wavelength, Banned Words, Taboo, Pictionary, and Catch Phrase.
Here are some examples of games you might play:
Simple: Cahoots, So Clover, The Mind, The Game, Blob Party, Just One
Moderate: Forbidden Desert, Menara, Horrified, The Crew
Complex: Pandemic, Flash Point, Eldritch Horror.
