There would be no Bishop & Co., and no 10th anniversary, without our team. We’ve already talked about the importance of community: now we want to show how we built ours through social events. And they’re anything but run-of-the-mill, since we like to put our own spin on things. 😉
It’s a cold winter night. The wind rattles the branches, and black ice covers the ground. Inside a small white cottage, a group is fighting for nothing less than the future of humanity, under the watchful gaze of the experiment’s supervisors.
No, this isn’t from a book, it’s from one of our winter retreats. Cinti and Fruzsi created an escape room experience for the whole team. We gathered clues, deciphered codes, and solved puzzles, all in search of a cure to save humankind from an alien virus (as these things tend to go).
So now, that you get what we meant by putting our own spin on things. Here are just a few of our other favourite memories:
🍻 There’s nothing like a cold b**r on a summer evening, but it’s even better when it’s your own. Since we love craft b**r, one time we decided to create Bishop B**r. It was a true team effort that required patience, but in the end, sipping and sharing our own b**r made it all worthwhile.
🎲 Team-building games are never boring, especially if Jani made them: guessing team names from Wikipedia articles, identifying movies from terrible plot summaries, and creating memes about ourselves, to mention some of the best ones. 😆
💃 We can't travel to Rio, so we host an annual carnival, complete with creative and hilarious costumes, and a competition for the main prize: a dinner coupon.
🐣 Every year, we organise an egg hunt. One or two people hide chocolate eggs and bunnies around the office, while the rest compete for the glory of finding the most treats. When we say there’s no couch left unturned… we mean it. 😂
🍝 We love travelling and good food, so we have international cooking nights, where we make everything from pizza and pasta to burgers from scratch.
🤝 Besides these, we’ve built small crews around shared interests. We love hiking, so we organise trips across the country. We love board games, so we turn national holidays into full-day gaming sessions.
Building a close-knit community like this takes time, and it remains a continuous priority for us. But in the end, it’s worth it. We come into the office each day knowing that friends are waiting for us. We know that we can share our honest opinions, challenge each other’s ideas, resolve conflicts, and work under pressure because we already have a solid foundation.
