Innovative Team Building: How TikTok Combined Business Meetings with a Murder Mystery Event

Client Request

TikTok approached us to organise a day of meetings and team-building, asking us to deliver something as innovative as the social media platform itself. The task was to create an event that blended productive work sessions with an unforgettable activity. We suggested a “teatime murder mystery” - a delightful twist on the classic murder mystery dinner.

Our Project

The day began with plenary sessions and breakout groups, allowing TikTok's team to tackle business matters in both large and intimate settings. But it was the afternoon that truly set this gathering apart. Inspired by Agatha Christie’s novels, we turned participants into sleuths and suspects in a thrilling whodunit. This bespoke 'Teatime Thriller' provided a refreshing break from the boardroom and served as a clever vehicle for team building. As participants donned metaphorical deerstalkers and magnifying glasses, they honed their communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork - essential qualities in the fast-paced world of social media.

Outcome

The results were outstanding. Our meticulous planning and execution proved invaluable, with the murder mystery striking the perfect balance between fun and professional development. The event fostered camaraderie among colleagues, injecting a spirit of celebration and ease into the group dynamic. Most importantly, it enhanced team awareness and improved dialogue - crucial

Outcome

s for a company at the forefront of global communication trends. In the end, TikTok's team-building day wasn't just about solving a fictional crime - it was about creating real connections in an increasingly digital world.
