Scrambling to pivot from an in-person meeting to hybrid or virtual programs?

You’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.

At Odyssey Teams, we understand the pressure of last-minute changes, shifting logistics, and the need to keep your team engaged, connected, and inspired—no matter the format. Whether you’re facing a sudden venue cancellation, navigating new health protocols, or simply reimagining your event to reach a broader audience, we’re here to help you pivot with purpose.

Don’t be discouraged. For over three decades, Odyssey Teams has been helping clients design and deliver transformational experiences that blend team building with global impact. And in the last few years, we’ve mastered the art of virtual and hybrid programming—often with just a few days’ notice. Our team is agile, experienced, and ready to support you in creating something meaningful, memorable, and logistically seamless.

Our philanthropic business simulations are more than just team-building activities—they’re immersive experiences that give back to the world. Whether your team is remote, hybrid, or gathering in person, we offer programs that spark collaboration, build trust, and leave participants with a renewed sense of purpose. These aren’t just feel-good moments—they’re real-world impact, disguised as fun.

Below are three of our most popular quick turnaround virtual and hybrid program options—each designed to be easy to organize, deeply engaging, and powerfully aligned with your organization’s values.

Build a Prosthetic Hand with the Build-a-Hand® Program

If you’re looking for a program that’s fast to deploy, emotionally resonant, and logistically simple, the Build-a-Hand® program is a perfect fit. Offered virtually, hybrid, or in person, this experience invites participants to build prosthetic hands for amputees around the world who cannot afford these life-changing devices.

Participants work together to assemble the hands, often from the comfort of their own homes or offices, guided by expert facilitators who weave in storytelling, reflection, and purpose. The process is hands-on, heartfelt, and highly collaborative. It’s not just about building a device—it’s about building empathy, connection, and a shared sense of achievement.

Since its inception, over 80,000 prosthetic hands have been funded, built, and donated to recipients in more than 100 countries. The Build-a-Hand® program has been embraced by thousands of companies, nonprofits, and educational institutions as a way to blend corporate social responsibility with meaningful team development.

Whether your team is navigating change, launching a new initiative, or simply looking to reconnect, this program delivers impact on every level—head, hands, and heart.

Collaborate on an Art Project with Team Mosaic

Need something creative, flexible, and easy to organize? Team Mosaic is a beautiful option for teams who want to express their values, vision, or culture through collaborative art.

Each participant receives a Team Mosaic kit that includes canvas tiles, paints, and brushes. If time is tight, participants can use whatever supplies they have at home. With the help of our team, you’ll select a powerful image that reflects your message—whether it’s a company logo, a symbolic photo, or a custom design. That image is then processed by Odyssey’s proprietary software and divided into individual squares.

Each person paints their square without knowing what the final image will be. It’s a metaphor for teamwork, trust, and contribution—every tile matters, and every effort counts. Once completed, participants upload their artwork into our system for a stunning final reveal. The image can be printed, shared digitally, or assembled in person when your team gathers again.

Team Mosaic is ideal for virtual meetings, hybrid events, or in-person retreats. It’s creative, inclusive, and deeply symbolic—perfect for organizations looking to reinforce unity, celebrate diversity, or mark a milestone.

Build Skateboards for Kids with The Board Meeting Program

Want something high-energy, hands-on, and socially impactful? The Board Meeting program invites participants to design and build skateboards for local kids—and yes, it works beautifully on virtual platforms.

Each participant receives a Board Meeting Kit shipped directly to their home. The kit includes everything needed: skateboard deck, trucks, wheels, backpack, pads, and helmet. Guided by Odyssey facilitators, teams work together to assemble the boards while exploring themes like brand awareness, customer-centricity, quality assurance, time management, and collaboration.

Once completed, the skateboard sets are donated to local youth organizations, giving kids a chance to ride, explore, and grow with confidence. It’s a powerful way to blend team development with community impact—and it’s fun, too.

This program is especially popular with marketing teams, product launches, and organizations looking to energize their people while giving back. It’s fast to organize, easy to execute, and unforgettable in its impact.
