Well, we’ve successfully tallied another year of brilliant celebrations as a team, this time making our way over to Manchester to enjoy the festivities! Taking the team back to an intensely nostalgic environment, The Crystal Maze live experience.
Fuelling the day’s activities
We kicked things off exactly as any great day should—with an incredible meal at Society Manchester. This vibrant food hall delivered a buzzing, festive atmosphere, paired with an impressive line-up of food traders offering cuisines from all corners of the globe.
The team wasted no time getting stuck in, tucking into irresistibly sweet and tangy hoisin bao buns before moving on to freshly prepared tinga tacos. Each dish delivered an explosion of flavour, keeping energy levels high and appetites fully satisfied before we shifted gears and prepared ourselves for some serious gaming ahead.
Let the games begin
With spirits high, we arrived at the Crystal Maze and immediately embraced the competitive energy in the air. Greeted and hyped up by the incredible game actors, the team was ready and raring to go as we entered the medieval zone to begin the challenge.
Our abilities were well and truly put to the test, with tasks designed to evaluate our knowledge, skills, and physical capabilities—alongside challenges layered with mystery and problem-solving. Without giving too much away for future participants, the experience proved to be an outstanding team-bonding exercise that had everyone fully engaged from start to finish.
We’re proud to say we emerged from the Crystal Maze dome with an impressive 78 points, sitting a solid 13 points above the average group score—despite securing just six crystals along the way.
Cheers to another exceptional year
We carried our Crystal Maze victory forward to the ever-popular Mulligans, where the team enjoyed a well-earned pint of Guinness, followed by some dancing to a fantastic live band. Once again, everyone had the chance to fully immerse themselves in an atmosphere filled with laughter, celebration, and well-deserved relaxation.
Our Christmas party always serves as a moment to reflect on the year gone by—a year defined by achievements, client wins, and challenges successfully overcome together as a team. This celebration was no exception, rounding off another exceptional year for Intelligency in the best possible way.
