Halloween, the FXBO Way
"Pull up the flashlight can you see what's inside the jar now?"
" It's an EYE!", the team responds in unanimous excitement.
Not your average team building exercise and at FXBO? A casual Halloween evening game!
So, what was it like you ask? Think human-sized ghosts roaming around the office with shades on, spiderwebs on the desks, actual giant spiders on the floor, warning signs on the doors, and a skeleton chilling in the bathtub.
Here's what went down this Halloween, the FXBO way.
Three Teams, One Mystery, and a Monster on the Loose
With everyone dressed up in their Halloween costumes, where you can normall find a 6 feet man dressed as Wednesday Adams.
We kicked off the evening with dinner together. Now, the table was an interesting sight. Between the garlic to keep vampires away, spiders, skeleton hands, and bloody eyeballs, we did manage to make room for actual human food. From drinks, churros, tacos, nachos, and to all the dips one heart could possibly desire.
With two hours until midnight, it was go time! A crime had been committed. A monster was responsible. And we had a mystery to solve.
We split into three teams, each determined to crack the case. What followed was a series of spooky quests, detective work, and some unexpectedly serious competition.
Let the Spooky Games Begin
Let's say the theme was: what if every horror movie we'd ever watched decided to haunt our office at once? Ghosts roaming the hallways, skeletons where they had absolutely no business being, suspicious bloodstains, and enough creepy surprises to make even the most familiar corners of the office look suspicious.
Want some highlights from the monster-hunting game? Oh, where do we begin?
Dig up shallow graves and open little caskets to discover the clues buried inside. Consult an Ouija board to uncover a secret message. Venture into a darkened office armed with a blue flashlight, searching desks, doors, and hidden corners for numbers that only appeared under its mysterious blue glow.
And just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger, there was one more task: draw the monster's pentagram in blood- red dye, obviously.
Eventually, one team managed to identify the guilty monster and solve the mystery!
Their grand prize? A bucket of candy and, most importantly, the satisfaction of knowing they'd outsmarted everyone else.
We suspect the bragging rights will last considerably longer than the candy.
Just Another Halloween at FXBO!
Sometimes, the best way to spend time with your colleagues is to forget about work for an evening, put on a ridiculous costume, and collectively investigate a fictional crime.
