We turned the entire office into the Traxibbean, a pirate sea mapped across 1,200 square metres. The 150 participants were sorted into crews and handed a stylised pirate map. Every 15 minutes, a signal sent each crew to their next port of call: Redbeard's Tavern, Dead Man's Cave, Black Sand Bay, and five other locations scattered throughout the building. By the end of the afternoon, every corner of the new office had a story attached to it.

At each station, teams faced a different kind of challenge: agility, strategy, code-cracking, lateral thinking. Good performance earned gold coins, not points. And gold coins had one purpose only: upgrading your crew's pirate ship. Each team started with a basic A1-size blueprint and spent their coins choosing upgrades from a curated list, from cannons and flags to mermaids and parrots, then drew every addition onto the ship by hand.

The final standings were not decided by who solved the most challenges. A full crew vote determined which ship was the most impressive, the most creative, the most daring. This single design choice changed everything. It gave every team a genuine shot at winning regardless of how competitive they were, and it turned the last half hour into a gallery tour of increasingly spectacular pirate vessels.
