Team building event activities can be both important and beneficial to companies or teams of all sizes. They can promote better business morale, improved interpersonal communications and cohesion, all while being a lot of fun. A fantastic way to achieve this is with the inclusion of gaming equipment to these events. Consoles/PCs set up for cooperative play, VR for experiences that get you moving or racing rigs for high octane competitions can all be incorporated for team building events. All this equipment requires setup, servicing and support, and here at EPIC.LAN, our team has been supplying gaming equipment for team building events for over 20 years.
Why Gaming Works at a Team Building Event
Gaming works particularly well at team building event activities when participation is made accessible to everyone, not just self-identified gamers. Simple mechanics and intuitive controls allow barriers to entry to be lowered, ensuring that confidence is built quickly and hesitation is reduced. As a result, natural interaction is encouraged, with conversations sparked through shared goals, competition and collective problem-solving.
At conferences and large events for instance, gaming is especially effective for short dwell times. Activities can be experienced in brief sessions, making them easy to drop into without requiring a long commitment. Even in a matter of minutes, connections can be formed, energy can be lifted and anxieties can be dissipated.
From a team building perspective, collaboration is subtly reinforced. Communication, adaptability and trust are exercised in a relaxed environment, helping workplace dynamics to be strengthened. By the time the round is over, teamwork has already been improved…often without participants realising it.
What Gaming Equipment Can We Supply?
Gaming PCs and Consoles
You can’t have a team building event activity that incorporates gaming without the necessary equipment. The most immediate thought that will come into anyone’s head about gaming equipment is either a console or a PC.
Here at EPIC.LAN, we can provide your event with both the latest generation of expertly checked and serviced consoles and PC’s. As well as a selection of retro games and consoles to feed the nostalgia bug and get your team reminiscing about early gaming experiences.
Monitors and Peripherals
Now the consoles and PCs are set up, you will need to be able to see what you are doing, control what is happening, hear everything clearly and be sitting comfortably. The EPIC.LAN team doesn’t just plug in an Xbox and walk away. We offer a comprehensive gaming equipment rental service that incorporates the best quality monitors, controllers, headsets, chairs, mice, and more.
Sim Racing Rigs
Even the most relaxed of people will feel the surge of tension and competition when behind the wheel. Why not bring this out of your team with our selection of racing rigs. The selection of Next Level Racing X Fanatec rigs we offer are the perfect thing for creating a healthy dose of friendly competition between your team either trying to achieve the fastest time or a straight forward race.
Technical Support and Professional Delivery
Professional delivery is ensured through the involvement of EPIC.LAN, where extensive experience within the gaming and events industry is brought to every activation. From initial planning through to on-site execution, technical support is provided at every stage to guarantee a smooth and reliable experience that has been used and praised by the likes of Twitch, Ubisoft and Red Bull.
Every piece of equipment we provide is professionally configured, tested and monitored, with potential issues identified and resolved before they can impact your team building event activity. On the day, experienced staff are present to manage setup, operation and breakdown, allowing clients to remain focused on their guests rather than technical concerns.
Our expertise in the industry ensures that events are delivered to a consistently high standard, regardless of scale or environment. By combining proven technical knowledge with polished event delivery, our team provides confident and seamless gaming experiences from start-to-finish.
Why Rent Gaming Equipment Instead of Buying?
Renting gaming equipment for team building event activities has numerous benefits over buying them. Utilising gaming equipment from consoles to racing rigs is a great way of creating memorable experiences for you and your team but having all of that equipment lying around for the couple of times a year you use it, isn’t cost effective. Then you have the problems around equipment upkeep, upgrades, professional support and servicing.
It is far simpler and smarter to rent this equipment from the team here at EPIC.LAN, as it is our sole focus.
