Gastro Battle

Introduction

Ready to turn up the heat and take on your colleagues in a kitchen showdown?
Gastro Battle is a lively and memorable cooking competition where teams battle it out Masterchef-style – using identical ingredient baskets, time pressure, and plenty of creativity.

How the Activity Works

In this culinary teambuilding challenge, your group is divided into four teams, each with the same set of ingredients. Over the course of three hours, teams must plan, cook, and plate their dishes – all while competing under four judging criteria:

• Originality

• Flavor

• Presentation

• Teamwork & kitchen ethics

Each team is responsible for creating a gourmet dish that looks and tastes amazing, while also working as a cohesive, communicative unit under time pressure.

Once the cooking is done and the winning team is crowned, you’ll all sit down together to enjoy the delicious results of your hard work – a shared meal, full of stories and laughter.

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!
