Employees That Play Together, Stay Together
Our immersive experiences combine the power of play with improv thinking to increase creativity and collaboration in the workplace.
Engage to Excel
Seventy percent of Americans feel “disengaged” at work. This lack of initiative costs companies half-a-trillion dollars in lost productivity. Breakthrough Play reengages people through experiential workshops based on improvisational techniques and play psychology. Harness the power of these creative sessions to energize employees, solve complex business challenges, and decrease turnover.
The Power of Play
In addition to sparking creativity, joy, and relaxation, play creates pro-social brains—people work more easily with one another once they’ve worked through a fun challenge together. By making Breakthrough Play part of your professional development, you’re building bonds between coworkers, and proving that taking chances can be rewarding. How often does your work provide a rush of endorphins?

Field Trip
An immersive, off-site experience that gives all team members time to fully disconnect from work and connect with the moment. No phones or emails, just hilarity and openness in this creative free-for-all that imparts a feeling that work is a safe place to think big and act boldly.
Playshop
Lasting two-to-four hours, this unique communication training sets a positive vibe for people to bring back to their desks. Facilitated on-site, employees view these sessions as a reward or perk compared to traditional lecturing—this results in greater retention, and higher job satisfaction.
Recess
Scheduled as frequently as your team needs them, these sessions are a welcomed break from the day-to-day. Just as some employers have office yoga, Recess is a unique chance for people to routinely stretch their creativity and share some fun with those they work with daily.
