Steamed Egg offers a fully online experience for virtual team building games and activities - using video conferencing and virtual reality headsets to share fun, collaborative and creative gaming sessions between companies and their team members.
The company was founded by Jason Leigh in 2018, well ahead of the covid pandemic and wave of remote working. The virtual games have been seen as a great way by managers to engage with staff members and create some office fun and camaraderie during a challenging period.
“We had the understanding about what was needed to create fun, interactive experiences for teams who were stuck at home during the pandemic,” explains Leigh.
“Prior to the pandemic we used to go to offices such as Amazon, Sky and Deliveroo to showcase our games and get employees wearing our reality headsets. We even featured on ITV's This Morning with Phil and Holly and got them to use a virtual headset and walk a virtual plant.”
“When covid hit and the lockdown happened, we went back to the drawing board and came up with a totally new experience. Within a month, we were primed and ready to share our new games with teams through remote video conferencing tools. We just cannot use the virtual headsets for covid reasons, but we’ll definitely be bringing these back.”
“With Steamed Egg, the main event is a game show called Yolking From Home!”
“It’s a take on a 70’s TV game show and includes six unique and collaborative games, which will be new to anyone playing them.”
“Our focus is to help your staff unwind, have a good time and get to know each-other better. Getting up and running is very quick with our 5-step programme.”
“Steamed Egg believes that laughter is the best medicine for your team’s isolation blues. It is proven to strengthen relationships and reinforces your team’s sense of unity.”
“We use highly conversational games to get your team working and collaborating together and laughing so that they leave with a renewed sense of joy and lifted spirits. There is no looking at apps on your phone or writing answers on pieces of paper - the entire process is virtual or online through video conferencing tools.”
The pricing is based on the number of players that will join your event (up to 180 players) and how many games you wish to play (usually 2-3 games), with the average game taking around 75 minutes.
If you are a team of up to 15 people and looking to play 2 games, this will cost £520.
