Self-organized group activities

A simple team outing in Paris

A useful team outing gives colleagues something concrete to do without forcing artificial intimacy. flanori works best for a smaller team and can also be one flexible part of a larger company day in Paris.

The short answer

A small team can follow flanori together with one shared phone or the tour open on several devices. With more people, split into small teams, stagger the starts and arrange your own meeting point. There is no synchronization, leaderboard or event management.

How to run it with one small team

For roughly two to five colleagues, keep it simple. Meet near Odéon, open the tour on one phone and follow the story together toward the Panthéon. Everyone can discuss the puzzles and point out details. If people prefer their own screens, they can also open the tour separately, but progress will not synchronize.

Plan for roughly three kilometres outdoors during daylight. Bring comfortable shoes and at least one charged phone. The audio is optional: play it through the phone so the group can listen together, or use headphones if Paris gets noisy. There is no reservation or fixed start, so a late lunch does not spoil the plan.

How to run it with several teams

For a larger group, divide people into small teams before arriving. Each team can share one phone or use several devices. Stagger starts by five to ten minutes so teams do not crowd around the same clue, then choose a clear café or restaurant near the finish where everyone can meet again.

flanori does not coordinate participants. There is no organizer dashboard, shared clock or leaderboard, and separate phones do not know where the other teams are. Keep a group chat open for practical updates and make the meeting time generous enough for teams to walk at their own pace.

  • Make teams of roughly two to five people.
  • Give every team the start point, route length and accessibility note.
  • Stagger starts and agree on a meeting place near the Panthéon.
  • Let teams focus on the story rather than turning the walk into a race.

Use it as one part of the outing

Not everyone has to choose the same activity. Offer flanori to colleagues who want to walk, solve puzzles and get closer to the history of the Latin Quarter. Others might visit a museum, join a workshop or even go canoeing on the Seine, then everyone can regroup for drinks or dinner.

This works especially well when interests, energy levels or mobility needs differ. Instead of forcing one programme on the whole company, you give people a few clear options and create a shared moment afterward. Check the opening hours, booking needs and travel time for the other activities before setting the reunion point.

When to choose a managed activity instead

Choose a hosted provider if you need to manage dozens of people, produce scores, run a synchronized competition or deliver a facilitated learning outcome. A guide or event company is also the safer choice when the whole route must meet specific accessibility requirements.

flanori is deliberately lighter. The current first tour is free; future tours will be paid. It gives a smaller team a story, a route and puzzles tied to the places around them, while your group handles communication and timing. That makes it a flexible component of an outing, not a managed corporate programme.

Frequently asked questions

Does flanori manage company events?

No. It provides the self-guided experience, while your group handles teams, start times, communication and the post-walk meeting.

Can several teams play at once?

Yes, informally. Stagger starts and let each team use one or more phones; there is no shared leaderboard or synchronization.

Is the current route step-free?

No. It includes uneven paving and a few steps, so choose another verified route if full step-free access is required.
