In July one of our General Directors opened her home to the team — not for a formal reception, but for an evening designed to surprise, connect, and inspire. And as always at Balcia, things quickly took a creative turn.
Here’s what unfolded:
Adventure on the Road
The evening kicked off with a car orienteering challenge, featuring scenic stops, tricky tasks, and just the right amount of friendly competition (thanks to one very motivated colleague behind the concept!).
For us, it reflected Balcia’s spirit of curiosity, playfulness, and trying new paths together.
Surprises Along the Way
Bonus missions kept everyone guessing, moving, and laughing — proving once again that teamwork doesn’t need a boardroom.
We believe innovation often starts when people step outside their routine, and this playful twist showed how surprises fuel creativity and connection.
New Bonds Across Teams
Mixed teams brought together people from different roles and departments, sparking conversations and connections that don’t often happen during a regular workday.
We were also thrilled to have colleagues from HQ join the adventure and take part just like everyone else — because at Balcia, we don’t do hierarchies when it comes to having fun.
At Balcia, collaboration across teams and hierarchies is at the heart of how we work, and evenings like this make those bonds even stronger.
Relaxed Atmosphere
On arrival? Nothing fancy — just favorite drinks, snacks, and that relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while.
Sometimes it’s the simplest setting that helps people feel most at ease, and that’s when the best conversations happen.
The Big Kahoot Reveal
A custom Kahoot quiz based on a questionnaire that was sent out beforehand turned into the evening’s highlight — a fun guessing game where we found out who really eats nachos with banana ice cream and the classic debate: does pineapple belong on pizza?
This moment wasn’t just entertaining — it reminded us how well we know (and love learning more about) the people we work with every day.
This wasn’t about big budgets or stage lights. It was about something much more valuable: people showing up, being themselves, and creating memories together.
Across all our teams and countries, this is what Balcia stands for — human connections, shared ideas, and the power of simply doing things together.
