Tailored Black Diamond teambuilding in the heart of Antwerp

As a world leader in innovative and sustainable building solutions, our client sought a unique and challenging teambuilding activity that would not only enhance collaboration and strategic thinking but also offer a playful way to explore Antwerp. Team Masters developed a fully customised edition of Black Diamond, incorporating the city of Antwerp and the company’s own projects at its core.

The teams were given a top-secret mission: undergo intensive training to become master thieves and steal ​‘The Black Diamond,’ the most heavily guarded diamond in the world. But before executing the ultimate heist, the teams had to complete a series of challenging trials, collect codes, and prove they could bypass the security systems.

This edition of Black Diamond was fully customised and intertwined with the city of Antwerp and Holcim’s own iconic achievements.

Some highlights:

• The large Holcim logo on Meir: One of the stops featured a personalised billboard on Antwerp’s busiest shopping street.
• Handelsbeurs Antwerpen: A key location in the game, as Holcim was involved in the renovation of this historic building.
• Unique game environments: Teams completed challenges in hidden locations such as the historic cellar of De Rode Hoed and an exclusive cocktail bar.

The teams took on the challenge of collecting as many small diamonds as possible by completing missions such as:

• Dodging lasers: A high-tech security system that required agility and precision.
• Crossing the minefield: Strategic thinking and teamwork were crucial to reaching the other side safely.
• Cracking codes: Participants had to find hidden clues and decipher encryptions.

The team that collected the most diamonds earned the chance to open the replica of the diamond vault. In a nerve-wracking finale,​the winning teams had to disable four consecutive security systems. The first team to crack the vault successfully carried out the ultimate heist alongside Jack Pickpocket.

Black Diamond provided an energetic and immersive experience that tested teamwork, problem-solving skills, and strategic insight. Holcim’s team members not only got to know each other better but also discovered Antwerp in a unique way.

Why choose Black Diamond?

• Tailor-made experience: The activity was customized to align with Holcim’s identity and locations.
• Innovative and interactive: A blend of technology, strategy, and city exploration.
• Teamwork and competition: The perfect mix of collaboration and rivalry.
