Key nuances of organization

Firstly, there are many forms of such events: it can be a quest, seminar, role-playing game, sports and hiking trips. It is important that all team members understand and welcome the chosen format of the event. For this reason, conduct a survey in advance and based on its results determine the most suitable option.
