Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in four formats: city scavenger hunts, virtual puzzle competitions, in-office escape rooms, and large-scale bespoke events. Whether your team is all in one place or spread across the globe, we have an experience built for you.

Our most frequent customers are HR leaders, executive assistants, office managers, and event planners at mid-size and enterprise companies. Basically, anyone who’s been handed the job of making 20–20,000 people have a great time together. If you’re responsible for making people feel connected, you’re in the right place.

We’ve done it all, from team outings, company kick-offs, sales kick-offs, company offsites, org-wide holiday parties, onboarding events, return-to-office activations, all-hands celebrations, client entertainment, intern programming, and leadership retreats. Our events work equally well as the main event or as a plug-and-play activity within a larger program, like an offsite. If you’re bringing a group together and want something more memorable than a happy hour, we’re your people.

We've worked with hundreds of top companies, including Google, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Chime, Apple, Sierra.ai, Airbnb, Meta, Uber, Waymo, Vimeo, and more. From intimate team outings to company-wide events for thousands, we tailor our creativity and technology to fit your team. See customer stories.

Handstand is different because of two things: craft and scale. We’ve spent over a decade obsessing over what actually makes people laugh, compete, connect, and walk away talking about an event for years. We’re a team of game designers, event producers, artists, and engineers who love big ideas and building experiences from the ground up. Most companies have to choose between quality and scale. We don’t make you choose.
