Anyone who deals with the topic of corporate team building programs professionally knows that the most legendary events do not happen by themselves and spontaneously, but only if all intelligence and practice are put into their organization. And if they all take place in spaces that are made for them, that’s when it starts to be epic. If you have been following us for a long time, you will know that precisely such thematically tuned and detailed programs are our specialty. 🌟
The unique castle premises of Grand Vígľaš are a case of genius loci, and that is why we have had them in view for a long time, but somehow, they still eluded us. Fortunately, we now know that they were just waiting for the right opportunity, because it is really a gem in terms of not only the architecture and the quality of the reconstruction, but also the decorations used, the interior, and especially the possibilities of use for the needs of larger corporate events. It is a place where the magic of history breathes upon you upon arrival and where, even with a minimal amount of imagination, you will find yourself directly in the action of its medieval past. 🏰
At the entrance, the participants are greeted by period-dressed staff who take no prisoners this time but explain the basic data of today’s team match. It doesn’t take long, and after the lunch of noblemen in the restaurant decorated with reliefs, the sound of the horn calls everyone to the inner courtyard. Where else, if not here, would you expect armed men in full dress. ⚔️ The keynote speech will be given personally by the lord of the castle, who will not only explain the basic rules, but also make threats and honour the medieval games with a nice word and start the tournaments with a symbolic shot from a historical cannon. Let’s go to battle! 🔥
After the training of modern knights and princesses, a ruthless battle of castle teams follows. Men and women compete not only in contemporary skills, but also fight head-to-head. 🤺 Of course safely, without injuries and above all fun. At the end of the opening part, the whole crowd dances wildly in hearty merriment. The joint collective fight is successful, a short breath follows and cut into the second part, during which the newly formed units must cleverly fight their way through the terrain. I forgot to mention that nobility does not compete in virtual reality, but live and precisely – only with the help of their knowledge, skills and mind. You must climb not only the mysterious corners of the castle, but also its immediate surroundings. Without preparation, everyone competes mercilessly. 😈
When the darkness began to spread over the walls, it was the right time to call everyone together again and announce the closing ceremony. The losers are exposed to the rest of the group and the most skilful groups of castle games and appreciate bravery of the winners. There were bitter joys and despairs, but we are always honest with our cabinet! After the battle, they had to enjoy a hearty meal, and here they defended their place in the castle. Thank you for your kindness, it was amazing experience for us too and we look forward to new castle adventures! 👏🥂
