PHOENIX, Oct. 15, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- AdVenture Games, celebrating 20 years in business, has expanded its immersive team-building experiences to help modern workplaces connect. The company, known for its innovative games that turn coworkers into spies, detectives, and competitors, is now offering a new in-room format of its popular SpyGame. This format brings the excitement of a downtown mission into meeting spaces, making it easier for teams to engage in collaborative challenges without leaving their rooms.
Founder Chad Michael, CEO of AdVenture Games, explains that the company’s mission remains focused on using play to help coworkers discover unexpected strengths, build relationships, and create memorable experiences together. "It's wild to say 20 years," Michael said.
The company has grown significantly since its inception, producing team-building experiences for major corporations such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Johnson & Johnson. With the rise of hybrid work, AdVenture Games is addressing the challenge of building real teams when coworkers mostly know each other through virtual interactions. The new in-room format of SpyGame, for instance, allows teams to interact with actors, clues, and challenges directly within their meeting spaces, creating a fast-moving, live-action experience.
Michael emphasizes that the key to AdVenture Games’ success lies in the unexpected challenges that bring out different sides of people.
The company’s Whodunit Mystery experience also turns networking into a shared problem-solving experience. Large groups gather clues, question each other, and work together to solve a mystery, fostering a more engaging and collaborative environment. "We think there's a better way," Michael said.
Looking ahead, AdVenture Games is developing app-based experiences that blend physical settings with its original puzzle technology. These experiences can take place in various locations, including hotels, conference centers, downtown districts, and offices. However, Michael stresses that technology is there to support the experience, not replace it. "The phone is simply a tool," he said.
For Michael, the milestone of 20 years is less about looking back than recognizing the changing landscape of the workplace.
AdVenture Games continues to evolve with the workplace, becoming more technologically sophisticated and adaptable to the ways companies now gather, whether at resorts and conventions, in offices and ballrooms, or across a remote team. The company’s commitment to creating memorable experiences that foster connection and collaboration remains at the core of its mission.
