Team building is an essential component for any successful business. It promotes cooperation, boosts morale and stimulates employee creativity. At Touché Experience, we understand this like no other. That is why we offer unique and immersive team-building activities.
The start of a new year is the perfect time for a company to reflect on the past. But also to set new goals for the future.

A piece of history as a backdrop
The Bonneterie, located in Aalst between Ghent and Brussels, is a unique venue for events. The venue is rooted in a piece of Aalst's history in the old Du Parc. The Bonneterie owns more than 500m² of event space and is located next to the city park, making it an attractive and strategically located venue for corporate events.
The surroundings of De Bonneterie, next to the park and with its historical background, offers a perfect setting for our activities today.
Speed dating with colleagues?
The day began with a speed dating workshop, in which colleagues had the opportunity to get to know each other better in an informal setting. This activity was aimed at improving inter-departmental communication, what is essential for effective cooperation. Speed dating helped to lower the threshold and got employees more involved in each other's work and personal interests.
Step into the Middle Ages via VR team building
Thanks to the 'Excalibur the Mystery' VR escapade game Group Thoen participants had a unique opportunity to experience knights and legends in a completely new way.
Participants were transported to a virtual medieval castle, complete with dungeons and throne rooms, where they had their problem-solving skills had to tighten up.
This activity requires teams to work together to solve riddles and devise strategies in order to obtain the legendary sword Excalibur find. It not only promotes the team dynamics, but also stimulates problem-solving thinking and creativity.
Combining this historical legend with cutting-edge VR technology, participants experienced an unforgettable team-building experience.
Swords are traded for lasers
After the historical adventure in the virtual world, Group Thoen team members stepped back to the present for a more contemporary challenge with a session laser clay pigeon shooting. Swords were laid down and laser rifles took their place.
This activity combined the excitement of the traditional clay pigeon shooting with security and technology of lasers, which made for an accessible and eco-friendly experience.
The participants used rifles equipped with lasers to hit fluorescent clay pigeons, which increased both their precision as their teamwork challenged.
This spectacle, especially impressive at dusk, offered an exciting and competitive twist to the team-building day.
Reflection and vision for the future
At the end, there was a joint reflection session where employees had the opportunity to share what they had learned and how they could apply the experiences in their work. This reflection is crucial for embedding team-building experiences in daily practice and promoting continuous improvement.
The team-building activities, organised by Touché Experience, were not only a celebration of the new year, but also an investment in a stronger corporate culture and better cooperation for Group Thoen.
The choice of a team-building event during the New Year, combined with Touché Experience's unique location and activities, made this event not only memorable but also strategically important in fostering a cohesive team ready for the challenges of the new year. Initiatives like this set the tone for a year of collaboration and success.
