Team Building Activities
in Los Angeles
Unlock the full potential of your group with unforgettable team-building experiences in the City of Angels.
Start your day with bagels and lox from Canter’s, and wrap up with cocktails at sunset on Sunset Boulevard. But in between, give your team something more meaningful than a meeting — give them an experience that deepens trust, creativity, and collaboration.
Competitive games like scavenger hunts, trivia, and game shows are fun, but they divide people and pit them against each other.
Our activities bring people together.
At Make Believe Works, our Los Angeles team-building workshops are intentionally non-competitive — designed to connect teams through creativity, storytelling, and play.
Groups: 5 – 500 · Duration: 60 minutes – Half Day · Formats: In-person, remote, hybrid · Areas served: Downtown LA, Hollywood, Culver City, Santa Monica, Glendale, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Burbank, San Fernando Valley, Irvine and anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area.
Create a collaborative work culture people brag about.

Offsites and Corporate Retreats in the LA Area
People are more than the functions they perform.

Participants learn to take creative risks without anxiety and experience the satisfaction of helping others shine — outcomes that translate directly into better teamwork and innovation back at work.

Los Angeles FAQ
Do you run team-building events across Los Angeles?
Yes. We regularly run Los Angeles team-building workshops and creative offsites throughout the region — from Downtown LA and Hollywood to Culver City, Santa Monica, Pasadena, and the Valley. Whether you’re hosting a corporate retreat, leadership summit, or in-office session, Make Believe Works brings imaginative, connection-driven experiences directly to your space.

How long are the sessions?
Most sessions run 60 minutes to half day. For Los Angeles offsites and retreats, we can extend or combine activities to match your agenda and create a deeper sense of trust and collaboration.
Do you support hybrid teams?
Yes. Every Make Believe Works activity can flex for in-person, hybrid, or remote teams. We design for inclusion — so everyone feels part of the same creative spark, wherever they are.
How far ahead should we book?
Booking 2–4 weeks ahead ensures best availability, but we often accommodate last-minute requests — even next-day workshops for teams in or around Los Angeles.

Nope. We focus on what we do best — building psychological safety and creativity through play. But this is Los Angeles — you’ll find no shortage of world-class options nearby to complete your team experience.
Are your team-building activities competitive?
No. At Make Believe Works, our creative team-building workshops are intentionally non-competitive. While competition can motivate individuals, it often divides teams and reduces psychological safety. Our experiences focus on collaboration, trust, and authentic connection, helping coworkers bond through playful risk-taking instead of rivalry.
What does Los Angeles team building cost?
Pricing depends on the activity type, group size, and session length. Most Los Angeles corporate team-building workshops fall within a flexible range based on customization. We’re more of an investment than a trivia night or scavenger hunt—but clients consistently tell us the results in creativity and connection are worth it. We also work with startups, nonprofits, and schools to make meaningful team experiences accessible across Los Angeles.
Can you tailor sessions to our company goals or event theme?
Yes. Every Make Believe Works experience can be customized to align with your team’s goals—whether that’s building trust, strengthening communication, improving onboarding, or sparking creative collaboration. We adapt prompts, pacing, and debriefs so your workshop supports your unique objectives.
Where do Los Angeles team-building events take place?
We come to you—your office, offsite venue, retreat center, or conference space anywhere in the Greater Los Angeles Area. For hybrid and remote teams, we also host virtual team-building sessions on Zoom or your preferred platform, making connection effortless from anywhere.
We’d love to help your team connect and thrive.
