Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good idea for a year end function?

A good year end function brings your team together for fun, connection, and a chance to unwind. Popular ideas include boat cruises, cook-off competitions, amazing races, lawn games, or creative workshops like art expression or cocktail making. We help you match the vibe to your team – whether that’s chilled, competitive, or full-on festive.

Do you offer fully planned year end functions?
Yes! We handle all the logistics – from venue bookings and catering to transport, decor and on-the-day coordination. You just show up and enjoy. Want something personalised? We can add branding, awards, or themed touches to make it truly yours.
How many people can your year end events accommodate?
Most of our year end function activities cater for 10 to 200+ guests. Whether you’re a tight-knit crew or a large company, we can scale the experience to suit your team size and energy.
Where are your year end functions based?
We’re based in Cape Town and run events across the Western Cape – including the CBD, Waterfront, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Century City, and surrounds. We’re mobile too, so if you’ve got a specific venue in mind, we can bring the experience to you.
Can we combine team building with our year end function?
Absolutely. Many of our experiences – like the Amazing Race, Cook-Offs, or Minute to Win It – are both fun and team-focused. It’s the perfect combo: team building in disguise with a big dose of year-end fun.
Do you offer food, drinks, and extras?
Yes. We can provide catering, drinks packages, photography, live entertainment, branded gifts and more. Just let us know what you’re after and we’ll tailor your event accordingly.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and activity, especially for November and early December – our peak year end season. But if you’ve left it late, don’t stress – we’re pros at pulling off last-minute magic too.

*Note: Thursdays and Fridays in November and December get booked up to 7 months in advance.  Book early to ensure you get that venue your heart desires.
