80s Team Building in Los Angeles
Creative teams in DTLA are hard to impress, but a music-video shoot with team roles assigned wins them over. Team building works best when the competition is real and the stakes are silly, and the 80s supplies both: a high-score tournament, trivia teams and air guitar battles that mix departments without a single icebreaker worksheet. We run them in Santa Monica and across Burbank.
How It Works for 80s Team Building
Arcade high-score tournament
We seed a bracket by team, give everyone a turn and post scores live. Branded tokens keep Burbank teams playing, and a prize-ticket counter rewards the winners.
Air guitar and dance-off battles
An aerobics instructor warms everyone up before the dance-off, so no one goes in cold. Battles are short and scored by crowd noise, perfect for Pasadena groups.
Music for the victory lap
Once the scores are in, the DJ takes over and the room becomes a party. For Los Angeles weeknight events we keep it to about three hours so everyone is fresh tomorrow. Our producer folds in long crew routing, parking confirmations and sound curfews for Santa Monica rooms.
Trivia teams and name-that-tune
Our host runs rapid trivia rounds with mixed teams so departments that never talk end up arguing over the same answer. Questions can include your Los Angeles company lore. Expect it to look especially good in event venues made for camera crews.
Totally Rad Social — starting at $3,500
The ideal team night for most Los Angeles departments: hosted trivia, a neon booth and enough cabinets for a real tournament. Bigger groups can add cabinets. Our producer folds in long crew routing, parking confirmations and sound curfews for Santa Monica rooms.
Suggested add-ons
- Silent disco
- Extra arcade games

Frequently asked questions
Can we run it during the workday?
Often. We schedule around long crew routing, parking confirmations and sound curfews and can wrap by early evening so Los Angeles teams still make their commute.
How do you keep the competition inclusive?
Teams are mixed, rounds are short and every format rewards a different skill. In Los Angeles, we see accountants win air guitar and engineers win the dance-off. It is a format studio teams, creative agencies and South Bay companies keep asking for.
Can scores be tracked by department or office?
Absolutely. We set up team names in advance and post standings throughout the night on a screen in Hollywood or wherever you host.
What size team does this work for?
The Totally Rad Social suits up to about 75. For larger Los Angeles groups we add cabinets and a second host so wait times stay short. Expect it to look especially good in event venues made for camera crews.
