What the customers say:

"Seeing new hires this engaged and running around the office is incredible. It set the tone perfectly."
Rachel Bycer
Senior Manager, Learning and Development

Challenge

Dropbox needed an engaging capstone experience for their bi-weekly new-hire onboarding program that would help new employees connect with team members and company culture.

Handstand Magic

We created The Droplet Hunt, an interactive onboarding finale that combined digital challenges with real-world team activities. The gamification helped new hires build relationships with their coworkers while learning about Dropbox's mission and values. Each Droplet Hunt culminated in unlocking a conference room full of celebratory treats, swag, and an amazing afterparty!

The Droplet Hunt reduced ramp time for new-hires and helped them feel welcomed and knowledgeable from day one in an engaging way!
