Airsoft in the rain: dramatic, exciting, thrilling, memorable
Client Request
The Dorchester Collection, renowned for its ten prestigious luxury properties around the world, including the Beverly Hills and the Richemond, asked us to host a customised team building event for the staff of Milan's iconic Hotel Principe di Savoia. They wanted a tailor-made activity that reflected the hotel's elegance and charm.
Our Project
Our preparatory meeting with the team highlighted a very clear goal: to create a thrilling experience that would bring the group together and strengthen personal bonds. We suggested an Airsoft campaign.
Airsoft is an unfailingly thrilling activity, consisting of a war simulation in a safe and controlled environment. We wanted the kind of endeavour that could elicit strong emotions and that required both strategical thinking and collaboration.
The organisation was impeccable, with an obsessive attention to detail: each participant received a full kit, including protection and realistic “weapons”, as well as a comprehensive briefing to ensure an optimal experience. Safety was a top priority, to ensure a top-notch event. On the day, the weather was suboptimal, but the rain couldn't dampen the participants' enthusiasm, if anything, making the whole experience more intense.
Outcome
Participants described the experience as extraordinary and memorable. They particularly appreciated the balance of challenge and fun, which allowed team members to forge stronger bonds while developing useful skills.
