8 team building activities in Indianapolis, IN
We have run all eight for groups in downtown Indianapolis or up the road in Carmel and Fishers, and each card tells you where and how many people took part.
1. Bike Build Donation
Teams earn parts through quick challenges, assemble the bikes, and present them to kids from a local charity at the finish. A group of 165 built bikes at The Alexander downtown in February 2019, and 120 people built them on the grounds of Conner Prairie in Fishers.
2. Race Car Rally at the JW Marriott
Teams design and build small cars on LEGO platforms, then race them in timed heats, a fitting pick in the home of the Indy 500. An agriculture group of 625 raced at the JW Marriott Indianapolis in July 2021, and a team of 98 ran it at The Alexander in October 2022.
3. Go-Kart Competition at the Speedway
Each team works as a pit crew, building a self-powered kart and choosing drivers for the final race. A group of 60 built and raced their karts at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October 2021.
4. City SmartHunt downtown
Teams solve clues on iPads and earn points for photo challenges at stops such as Monument Circle and the Canal Walk. A group of 280 set out from the JW Marriott Indianapolis in July 2018 and finished back at the hotel for scores.
5. Best Corporate Feud
A live host, buzzers and a scoreboard turn survey questions into a team contest that fits an hour of a meeting agenda. An education group of 110 played it in Indianapolis in July 2026, and an insurance group of 170 played our feud show at Ritz Charles in Carmel.
6. Bears and Blankets
Teams stuff and dress teddy bears and add blankets, then a partner charity passes them to children who need comfort. A technology team of 138 made them at the Forum Conference & Events Center in Fishers in November 2018.
7. Build-a-Raft Competition
Teams design a raft from the materials provided, test it on the water for flaws, then race it in heats. A group of 30 built rafts with us at the Conrad Indianapolis on Washington Street in November 2018.
8. STEM Backpacks for Kids
Teams take on science and math challenges to earn supplies, then fill backpacks with STEM kits that we donate to kids through a partner charity. A pharmaceutical team of 40 packed them in downtown Indianapolis in May 2019.

Working with us in Indianapolis
Many of our Indianapolis events attach to a convention or a sales meeting downtown, at the JW Marriott, The Alexander or the Conrad. North of the city, Carmel and Fishers give suburban options at Ritz Charles, the Forum Conference & Events Center and Conner Prairie. Charity builds are what Indianapolis groups book most, with the Bike Build Donation well ahead of the rest.

More about corporate events in Indianapolis, IN
Getting there
Indianapolis International Airport sits off I-70 at exit 68, five minutes west of I-465, with scheduled bus service into the greater Indianapolis area. Downtown, climate-controlled skywalks link 4,700 hotel rooms to the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, so a group staying downtown can reach a ballroom activity without stepping outside.
Picking the right size of room
The JW Grand Ballroom holds up to 4,000 people, which is why our largest Indianapolis builds and rallies land at the JW Marriott. The Alexander has more than 16,500 square feet of meeting and event space, where we have run groups of 98 and 165. Under 50 people, a function room downtown or your own office in Carmel or Fishers handles a game show or a packing build.
