Unusual Team Building Activities

If you’re looking to break free from the usual escape rooms and trust falls, you’re not alone. More companies are now seeking unusual team building activities that are not only fun and memorable but also foster genuine connection among colleagues. At Rock and Roll Experience, we specialise in music-based team building events that do exactly that – and the results are backed by science.

Studies show that making music together increases cooperation, boosts oxytocin levels (the “bonding hormone”), and enhances communication – all essential ingredients for effective teamwork. Whether you’re a startup or a global brand, our unique experiences offer something far beyond the traditional away day.

Here are our Top 11 Unusual Team Building Activities that are proven to bring people together:

  1. Rock and Roll Band Experience – Form a real band, rehearse with professional musicians, then perform a song together. No music skills required!

  2. Corporate Rock Choir – A powerful, uplifting singing session that encourages unity and confidence.

  3. Drumming Workshops – Feel the rhythm, build synchronicity, and leave energised.

  4. Songwriting Sessions – Collaborate to write your own team anthem with guidance from expert musicians.

  5. Charity Guitar Build – Compete in teams to build a guitar fastest. Then donate them to a charity.

  6. DJ Skills Workshop – Learn the basics of mixing tracks and creating playlists that reflect your team’s personality.

  7. Music Video Challenge – Write, shoot and star in your own music video – creative chaos at its best.

  8. Thriller Dance – Learn the famous Thriller dance and then perform as a group of zombies.

  9. Magic Workshop – Learn mesmerising magic sills and then perform them to your colleagues.

  10. Beatboxing Workshop – Learn how to create beats using only your mouth. It’s quirky, fun, and surprisingly bonding.

  11. Musical Murder Mystery – Solve a crime using clues hidden in music. A fun twist on classic team games.

These unusual team building activities are not only memorable but transformative. By stepping into a musical world – even briefly – your team will bond, communicate better, and carry that energy back to the workplace.
