80s Team Building in New Orleans
New Orleans retreat teams can leave their meeting roles behind for friendly cabinet rivalries and host-led mixed squads. Team building works best when the competition is real and the stakes are silly, and the 80s supplies both: a high-score tournament, trivia teams and air guitar battles that mix departments without a single icebreaker worksheet. We run them in the Garden District and across Metairie.
How It Works for 80s Team Building
Arcade high-score tournament
We seed a bracket by team, give everyone a turn and post scores live. Branded tokens keep Metairie teams playing, and a prize-ticket counter rewards the winners.
Air guitar and dance-off battles
An aerobics instructor warms everyone up before the dance-off, so no one goes in cold. Battles are short and scored by crowd noise, perfect for Kenner groups.
Music for the victory lap
Once the scores are in, the DJ takes over and the room becomes a party. For New Orleans weeknight events we keep it to about three hours so everyone is fresh tomorrow. Our producer folds in French Quarter service permissions and convention center guest transfers for the Garden District rooms.
Trivia teams and name-that-tune
Our host runs rapid trivia rounds with mixed teams so departments that never talk end up arguing over the same answer. Questions can include your New Orleans company lore. Expect it to look especially good in New Orleans Warehouse District halls.
Totally Rad Social — starting at $3,500
The ideal team night for most New Orleans departments: hosted trivia, a neon booth and enough cabinets for a real tournament. Bigger groups can add cabinets. Our producer folds in French Quarter service permissions and convention center guest transfers for the Garden District rooms.

Frequently asked questions
Can we run it during the workday?
Often. We schedule around French Quarter service permissions and convention center guest transfers and can wrap by early evening so New Orleans teams still make their commute.
How do you keep the competition inclusive?
Teams are mixed, rounds are short and every format rewards a different skill. In New Orleans, we see accountants win air guitar and engineers win the dance-off. It is a format New Orleans year-round celebration hosts and visiting convention groups keep asking for.
Can scores be tracked by department or office?
Absolutely. We set up team names in advance and post standings throughout the night on a screen in the Warehouse District or wherever you host.
What size team does this work for?
The Totally Rad Social suits up to about 75. For larger New Orleans groups we add cabinets and a second host so wait times stay short. Expect it to look especially good in New Orleans Warehouse District halls.
