Event TypeMid-Meeting Challenge

Spotify’s Lisbon team meeting needed a fresh break from the boardroom — something fun, local, and low impact. Go Discover Portugal designed a personalized, emissions-free tuk-tuk challenge for 160 participants, combining team building, urban discovery, and sustainable transport in the heart of the city.

Spotify broke up a full day of meetings in Lisbon with a fun, sustainable, and fully customized Tuk Tuk Team Building Challenge. Using a fleet of no-emission tuk tuks, 160 participants explored the city’s historical quarters in teams, guided by professional drivers and hosts. The event was not just a break from meetings but a purposeful team activity, designed to highlight collaboration, cultural exploration, and light competition.

What made it work

Built Around Four Real Elements

Not a generic city tour — a fully customised challenge, designed around Spotify’s group, their day, and their route.

01

Zero-Emission Fleet

27 no-emission tuk tuks, plus 2 support vehicles, carried the full group through the city with a professional driver and host in every vehicle.

02

Tailored Route

Each tuk tuk followed a route through Lisbon’s historical neighbourhoods, chosen to fit the group and the day.

03

Challenge Booklet

A group-specific challenge booklet guided collaboration and light competition along the way — nothing generic or off-the-shelf.

04

Award Ceremony

The day closed with a lighthearted ceremony celebrating the best-performing teams, right before dinner.

Logistics That Disappeared Into the Experience

The route ran through Lisbon’s historical neighbourhoods and ended directly at the group’s selected restaurant, combining logistics with leisure rather than treating them as separate parts of the day. Go Discover Portugal handled full logistics, route and challenge design, and on-the-day event management, so the only thing Spotify’s team had to do was show up and ride.

What every tuk tuk carried
  • A tailored route through the city
  • A group-specific challenge booklet
  • Branded team materials
  • A guide trained to support team interaction
Facilitation & delivery

27 Vehicles, One Guide Each, Zero Emissions

Every tuk tuk was driven by a professional guide trained to support the challenge and keep the group engaged, with two support vehicles on standby throughout. Sustainability wasn’t an afterthought — it was the format’s spine, built entirely around zero-emission transport, local partners, and a minimal-impact design.
