Guerra de Tapas
Creative Cold Cooking Contest
Teams are faced with a MasterChef-style team building experience. They compete in challenges to gather ingredients and create a signature cold appetizer. Time is running out, extras cost coins, and each recipe needs a story that will convince the judges.
Guerra de Tapas
What the activity is
Tapas War is a creative cooking competition where teams compete to create the best skewer or small bite. First, they overcome teamwork challenges to select their main ingredients. During the cooking phase, they prepare the tapas, plating, and pitch, while facing flash challenges to unlock extras and decorations. The experience culminates with a tasting of all the tapas created.
How the experience feels
The table becomes a small workshop. It's time to prepare ingredients, pay attention to plating, and come up with a good story for the tapa. While some cook, others tackle the flash challenge on the tablet to obtain the extra ingredient that might make a difference. And in the end, the best part arrives: tasting all the tapas while the jury decides their verdict.
What makes it special
This is not a cooking class, but rather an experience that engages very different skills. Each phase of the activity has its own dynamics, creating a varied, comprehensive, and holistic team-building experience.
Between four and five pincho-style tapas per participant, created by the teams and shared at the end of the activity. After the event, the photos taken by the teams during the challenges are delivered.
