15 immersive settings to unleash your teams’ creativity

Here, there are no white backdrops or traditional corporate photo shoots!

Staff move through 15 immersive worlds, each designed as a real-life stage. A street inspired by Brooklyn, a neon-lit laundrette, a casino, a 2000s-style bedroom, a recording studio, or even worlds inspired by Korean culture: each setting offers new creative possibilities.

The spaces are already lit and set up for photography using either a smartphone or professional equipment.

The aim? To invite staff to explore, imagine and create original photos together, breaking away from the usual corporate norms.

Photo challenges to reveal team spirit

What if your staff became the stars of their own photo shoot?

To turn the photo shoot into a genuine team challenge, the experience can be organised around creative challenges to be tackled as a team.

Here are a few examples of challenges to consider:

• The most creative photo: come up with an original scene.
• The film remake: recreate a iconic poster or scene.
• The values challenge: illustrate a company value through a photograph.
• The unlikely scene: surprise the other teams with an offbeat creation.
• The timed challenge: take a group photo within a set time limit.

Each group must then demonstrate creativity, communication and coordination to put their scene together. A fun way to encourage interaction, mix staff members and create shared memories in an environment that is a complete departure from everyday working life.

The challenges outlined are examples of possible scenarios, to be finalised with the service provider depending on the chosen format.

A team photo shoot that becomes a shared experience

For 1 to 2 hours, the studio is reserved exclusively to allow participants to explore the various sets and bring their ideas to life. Depending on the chosen format, staff can move freely between the different settings or take part in activities organised in small groups.

The experience may include the following:

Exploring the sets · Group photos · Creative challenges · Original photo shoots · Video production

A professional photographer can also be on hand to advise participants and produce more polished content. The photo shoot thus becomes a shared experience where everyone can take part, suggest ideas and contribute to a collective creation.

An experience that brings staff closer together

Beyond the photos, this team-building activity allows colleagues to share a unique experience, away from their usual working environment.

Group photo shoots and creative challenges can help to:

• Strengthen team cohesion through a shared experience.
• Encourage communication to create scenes as a team.
• Stimulate creativity by exploring unexpected worlds.
• Foster interaction between staff members who may not usually work together.
• Showcasing individual personalities by allowing everyone to contribute their ideas.
• Create shared memories through the photos and videos taken.

A particularly engaging format for a seminar, a team-building day, an onboarding session or a corporate celebration.

An experience that can be tailored to reflect your company’s identity

Team-building can also be tailored to your company’s identity and the objectives of your event.

There are several customisation options available:

• Team challenges and obstacle courses
• Storytelling centred on your brand
• Incorporation of your logo or an internal message
• Personalised accessories
• Photo frames and prints in your company’s colours
• Personalised GIFs and videos
• Dedicated playlist
• Mood boards and themed concepts

The activity can therefore be incorporated into a team-building day, a project launch, a seminar or an employer branding event.

Photos and videos to extend the experience

In addition to the group activity, the studio also enables the creation of photo and video content for the company. Depending on the objectives of your event, the following options are available:

Team photos · Professional portraits · LinkedIn photos · Mini-interviews · Video challenges · Internal communication clips

An opportunity to put a fresh spin on traditional corporate portraits in a more original and contemporary setting.

The content produced can thus extend the experience beyond the event and contribute to internal communications or employer branding.

Artistic workshops to enhance your team-building activities

The studio can also host creative workshops led by external facilitators.

Collaborations with creative professionals make it possible to devise events that combine a range of experiences. An interesting way to enhance a seminar, team day or team-building event, alternating between photo shoots and participatory workshops.

Up to 60 participants in the studio

The studio can accommodate up to 60 participants for a private booking. The various sets allow staff to be divided across several different settings, and rotations can be organised according to the chosen programme.

The format can be tailored to the size of the group, the duration of the activity and the company’s objectives.

Up to 250 participants with a multi-activity team-building event

Would you like to bring together more staff?

The studio can be combined with a leisure bar located directly opposite, to create an event that can accommodate up to 250 participants.

This package allows you to combine several activities within a single event:

• An immersive photo shoot across 15 backdrops
• Artistic workshops to stimulate creativity
• Cocktail-making workshops to enjoy a convivial moment together
• Karaoke to reveal your staff’s hidden talents
• Blind test to challenge musical knowledge
• Shuffleboard tournament to foster a competitive spirit
• A giant, bespoke quiz based on your company

Participants can be divided into teams and rotate between the different activities. This is a particularly appealing option for organising a large-scale team-building event in Paris, with a variety of experiences tailored to your staff’s preferences.

For companies wishing to organise a large-scale event, an extended private hire of Boom Boom Villette can accommodate up to 2,000 participants, according to information provided by the partner.

This leisure complex brings together a range of activities and dining options in one place. This makes it possible to organise an event combining team-building, immersive experiences, group activities and catering, with a programme tailored to different groups.
