Dinning in the dark

Introduction

How do we communicate and collaborate when our sight is taken away? Can we still guide, support, and trust one another?
Dinner in the Dark is a unique and immersive teambuilding event that challenges your team to connect, adapt, and engage – all in complete darkness.

How the Activity Works

Wherever your event takes place – hotel, conference center, or office – we transform your space into darkness using our special blackout blindfolds. The moment sight disappears, participants quickly learn the importance of clear communication and mutual trust.

Over the course of the evening, you’ll be led through a series of fun and thought-provoking exercises designed to strengthen teamwork and sharpen your other senses. Roles shift, dynamics change, and the team must work in new ways to navigate challenges without vision.

Highlight: Blingo – Bingo with a Sensory Twist

The highlight of the evening is Blingo, where traditional bingo meets blind tasting and sensory guessing. Numbers are replaced with mystery items that must be identified through touch and texture only. It’s playful, collaborative – and a great test of how well your team supports one another.

Optional: Cooking in the Dark (for small groups)

For groups of up to 12, we offer an unforgettable twist: cooking blindfolded. Led by Mohammed, our blind instructor, you’ll prepare a full meal using only your other senses.
As Mohammed says:
“When I take away sight, people start to really listen, taste, and smell. It creates a whole new way of collaborating – and connecting.”

Outcomes

Your team will gain:

• Stronger communication under pressure

• Deeper trust and empathy among colleagues

• Heightened awareness of alternative collaboration styles

• A new appreciation of the senses – and each other

Location and Execution

We bring everything to you: blindfolds, facilitation, and full coordination. You choose the menu from your local venue or conference center – allowing your team to enjoy the taste experience, now heightened in darkness.

The format is flexible, ideal for both larger dinners and small group sessions.

Ideal Use Cases

Perfect for kickoff events, leadership retreats, evening teambuilding sessions, or as a powerful break from routine that fosters stronger internal relationships.

Summary

Dinner in the Dark is more than a meal – it’s a journey into trust, communication, and sensory exploration. With laughter, learning, and unique shared experiences, this activity deepens your team’s connection and transforms how you work together.

AWA leverede et genialt kickstart til vores årlige julefrokost med deres mobile escapegame, der satte både hjerneceller og teamwork på overarbejde. Kombinationen af intense gåder, skarpt tidspres og masser af grin gjorde oplevelsen uforglemmelig. AWA havde styr på ALT, så vi kunne fokusere på at rede julemanden og dermed julen (eller bare os selv). Kan kun sige én ting: Book dem- I vil ikke fortryde det!
