Top Team Building Activities for Company Teams in Singapore
Corporate teams across Singapore are increasingly turning to structured corporate team building Singapore experiences to strengthen collaboration, improve communication, and boost morale. With over a decade of experience designing corporate events, AdvenTOUR Singapore has curated a portfolio of high-impact activities that consistently deliver measurable results for organisations of every size. This article highlights five of the most requested experiences on our calendar — Squid Games, DISC Profiling, the Running Man Challenge, Shark Tank, and Bricks Masters — and explains how each one helps teams perform better together.
Why Team Building Matters for Singapore Companies
Singapore’s fast-paced, multicultural work environment means teams often bring together colleagues from different departments, generations, and cultural backgrounds. Well-designed team building programmes give these groups a shared experience that builds trust, surfaces communication gaps, and reinforces the behaviours that make teams effective back at the office. For HR leaders and event planners, the right activity also delivers tangible outcomes: stronger cross-department relationships, higher engagement scores, and a more cohesive culture.
Squid Games
Inspired by the global phenomenon, our Squid Games team building experience reimagines childhood playground games as high-stakes team challenges. Participants compete in rounds such as Red Light Green Light, Tug of War, and a Glass Bridge-style obstacle course, all adapted with corporate-safe rules and professional facilitation.
Why teams love it: The format is instantly recognisable, which lowers the barrier to participation and gets even reserved colleagues involved quickly. Because rounds are fast and elimination-based, teams learn to make quick decisions under pressure while supporting each other through each stage.
Best for: Large groups looking for a high-energy, highly photogenic event with strong social media appeal.
DISC Profiling Workshop
Unlike the physical challenges on this list, our DISC profiling workshop Singapore programme is a structured session built around a recognised behavioural framework — Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Participants complete an assessment, then work through facilitated exercises that help them understand their own working style and how it complements their colleagues’ styles.
Why teams love it: DISC Profiling gives teams a common language for discussing communication preferences and working styles, which reduces friction long after the session ends. It is particularly valuable for newly formed teams, cross-functional project groups, and leadership teams looking to improve internal communication.
Best for: Organisations that want a lasting, practical takeaway alongside the team building experience, not just a fun day out.
Running Man Challenge
Modelled on the popular variety show format, our Running Man Challenge team building experience sends teams across a series of checkpoints in Singapore, each featuring a mission that tests problem-solving, physical agility, or teamwork. Missions are sequenced so that no single skill set dominates, keeping every participant engaged.
Why teams love it: The city-wide format doubles as a fun way to explore Singapore while working toward a shared goal, and the mix of mental and physical tasks means every team member has a chance to contribute meaningfully.
Best for: Companies wanting an active, exploration-based experience that builds camaraderie through shared discovery.
Shark Tank
Our Shark Tank team building activity places teams in the role of entrepreneurs, tasking them with developing a business idea, product, or solution within a set time limit before pitching it to a panel of “sharks.” The format sharpens creative thinking, structured argument-building, and persuasive presentation skills.
Why teams love it: It surfaces leadership and creative talent that might not be visible in day-to-day work, and the competitive pitch format keeps energy high while reinforcing collaborative problem-solving.
Best for: Sales, marketing, and innovation-focused teams, as well as organisations that want to encourage an entrepreneurial mindset.
Bricks Masters
Our Bricks Masters team building challenge tasks teams with designing and constructing structures using building bricks against a brief, a time limit, and often a budget of resources. It combines elements of engineering, planning, and creative design in a format that appeals across departments and seniority levels.
Why teams love it: The hands-on, tactile nature of the challenge encourages equal participation from every team member, and the visual, tangible result gives teams a strong sense of shared accomplishment.
Best for: Teams that benefit from a calmer, more focused format than high-energy physical challenges, including teams with mixed fitness levels or accessibility considerations.
How to Choose the Right Team Building Activity
With several strong formats to choose from, the right fit depends on your team’s size, objectives, and working style:
- For energy and visibility: Squid Games or the Running Man Challenge deliver high engagement and strong shared memories.
- For lasting communication improvements: DISC Profiling provides tools teams can apply well beyond the event itself.
- For creativity and leadership development: Shark Tank surfaces ideas and talent in a low-risk, high-reward setting.
- For inclusive, hands-on collaboration: Bricks Masters suits mixed-ability groups and calmer working styles.
AdvenTOUR’s event planning team works with each client to match objectives, group size, and venue to the most effective activity, and can also combine formats into a full-day or multi-day programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best team building activity for a large corporate group in Singapore?
For large groups, Squid Games and the Running Man Challenge are the most popular choices. Both formats are highly scalable, keep energy levels high throughout, and give every participant multiple opportunities to get involved, making them ideal for company-wide events.
How long do these team building activities typically take?
Most activities, including Squid Games, Shark Tank, and Bricks Masters, can be run as a half-day or full-day session depending on group size and objectives. AdvenTOUR’s event planning team can also combine several formats into a full-day or multi-day programme to suit your schedule.

The DISC Profiling Workshop is specifically designed to improve communication. It gives participants a shared framework for understanding their own working style and their colleagues’ styles, offering practical benefits that extend well beyond the event itself.
