The Client’s Request
A unique activity for Saint-Gobain’s new talents
Each year, the company sets aside a day for new hires to connect with one another and get to know their workplace. For the 2025 edition, the client wished to move beyond the previous yea’s “cocktail challenge”, while still hosting the event at their headquarters. The goal was to design a dynamic and memorable experience that would spark collaboration, curiosity and authentic interaction among participants.
Our Proposal
An engaging and interactive experience
As a trusted partner with extensive experience in team building for this client, Smart Eventi suggested several fresh ideas, among which the client ultimately chose the “Mystery Room” as the most suitable option. The activity integrated perfectly with both the venue and the day’s agenda, offering an immersive experience where teams collaborated to solve puzzles and overcome challenges. The format proved original and engaging, strengthening team spirit and giving participants a memorable day that balanced enjoyment with professional growth in a well-structured setting.
Achieved Results
A success in motivation and team spirit: Saint-Gobain’s new hires hit the ground running
The event turned out to be a real success: the new hires had the chance to get to know one another, break the ice, and build authentic connections. The activity was both stimulating and enjoyable, reinforcing a sense of belonging and motivating participants for the professional challenges ahead. An experience that seamlessly combined the goals of team building with moments of genuine fun.

We turned to Smart Eventi for an event dedicated to new recruits from across our Group. Through engaging team building activities, participants quickly got to know one another, making it easier to build relationships in the days that followed. It was a fun and inspiring experience that set the perfect tone for the rest of the programme.
As always, Smart Eventi proved to be a reliable partner, flexible and punctual in organising the activity at our headquarters.
