The Noodle Goose approach
Different people.
More ways
to play.
A great team event gives the quick thinker, the quiet observer and the creative problem-solver something to contribute.
Accessibility is good game design.Make the game worth playing.
Clear rules, satisfying decisions and a little surprise. We start with the experience people will actually enjoy.
Build around your people.
We ask about access needs, sensory preferences, movement and comfort with the spotlight. Then we design the participation options into the plan.
Give the play a purpose.
Celebrating, welcoming new teammates or exploring communication? That goal shapes the game. An optional debrief can help people connect the experience to their work.

A few practical things
A few practical
details.
Where can you run an event?
Tell us your city and venue, or whether your group is remote. We’ll confirm travel, availability and any venue or technical needs in your proposal. We can plan for offices, event spaces and suitable outdoor settings.
What if our team isn’t very competitive?
We can build around shared goals, small groups and cooperative rounds. Tell us your team’s energy, and we’ll recommend a mix that suits them.
Do we need improv or acting experience?
No. Our improv sessions start with simple, guided games. We can use pairs and small groups, with alternatives to performing in front of the room. The focus is listening, collaboration and enjoying the process together.
Do you have a permanent escape-room venue?
These are portable, hosted experiences designed for your office or event space. We agree the story, puzzles, setup and venue requirements in your proposal.
How do you approach accessibility?
We discuss access needs during planning: instructions, pacing, sensory environment, movement, breaks and alternatives to being on stage. Specific adaptations are agreed with you for the chosen format.
Can you use our brand or company stories?
Yes. We can weave your theme, brand and approved company content into the game. Custom design and branded materials are scoped separately, depending on how much you want to build.
Do you offer virtual events?
We can explore formats for a remote group. Tell us your platform, headcount and time zones so we can confirm what is suitable and what technical support is needed.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on format, headcount, custom design, location, staffing and production. Share a budget range if you have one. We’ll explain the options and separate travel and optional extras in the quote.
