The five building blocks

Five things you always get from us

Not optional, no modules. This is the foundation of every Heroes event.

Creativity
1. Creativity

Creativity as a starting point

Creativity is our top priority when organizing any event. Not as an afterthought, but as our starting point.

Learning and development
2. Learning & Development

Always a learning objective

We don’t provide entertainment. Every event has a specific learning or development objective that is woven into the experience itself.

Blended with our own app
3. Blended with an app

Always guided by an app

A dedicated Heroes app guides participants through the event. It’s packed with games, points, badges, and leaderboards. It can also be used independently for your own event.

Musical theater
4. Musical or play

Always a story on stage

A musical, musical theater production, or theater performance brings the theme of the day to life. It serves as both a unifying thread and a moment of respite for the participants.

Music
5. Music

Music anytime, anywhere

We never hold an event without music. It amplifies the impact of our message tenfold. That’s not just marketing talk—it’s based on our experience with over 500 events.

Right out of the box
And always

Right out of the box

Never a training room with a whiteboard. Gospel singer, hidden door, spiritual brothel. Learning happens where things get rough. Scroll down.

Right out of the box

Learning happens in the places you least expect.

We don’t conduct training sessions in a conference room with slides. We seek out the discomfort. Because that’s where people really learn. Here are three examples from our experience:

Participants in an unexpected setting during a Heroes event
Communication Skills

The gospel singer

Training in speaking, listening, and commanding the room. We’ve brought in a gospel singer. She’ll teach you more about your voice, presence, and connecting with others in two hours than a trainer could in two days.

Assertiveness

The hidden door

We’ll place an unmarked door on your property with a clear warning. You can go through it. Or not. That choice—and how it makes you feel—is the exercise.

Social security

The Spiritual Brothel

Welcome to a socially unsafe place. You’ll learn firsthand what social safety is—but more importantly, what it isn’t. No one forgets this experience.

We act, we push boundaries, and we take risks. For companies that are willing to take risks too.

The Heroes App

Games, points, badges, leaderboards. All day long, right at your fingertips.

Our events are always hybrid. The app guides participants through the event. Small tasks, mini-games, photo challenges, and quiz questions. Everything counts toward the team’s score. The leaderboard is displayed on the big screen. No one sits on the sidelines.

  • Fully customized to match your style
  • Game mechanics that work: points, badges, teams, leaderboards
  • Connects online and offline, before, during, and after the event
  • Also available for purchase separately for your own event

Musical or musical theater

The common thread. And the break you’ll never forget.

Every Helden event features a musical, a musical theater production, or a play. Not as filler, but as the centerpiece. The performance sets the tone for the day, highlights what’s at stake, and outlines what participants will learn. Between the interactive activities, it also serves as a moment of respite: you sit, you watch, and you let it sink in. Then you get back up and join in.

  • A custom story tailored to your message
  • Professional actors and musicians
  • A common thread that ties the whole day together
  • Moments of rest that recharge your mind, not wasted time

How it works

3 Steps to Creating a Memorable Event

Intake & Concept

We listen to your goals, audience, and message. Together, we determine the central theme, the learning objective, and the game concept.

Design, Musical & App

We write the play, compose the music, program the app, and design the interactive segments. All done in-house.

Production & Execution

We’ll take care of everything on the day itself, from arrival to wrap-up. Afterward, we’ll assess what stuck with everyone and evaluate the event together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Events

Is there always a musical or theatrical element?

Yes, always. A musical, musical theater, or theater performance serves as the central theme for us. It brings the theme to life, gives the day a sense of cohesion, and at the same time offers a moment of respite between the active activities.

Is there always music?

Yes. We don’t host an event without music. Based on our experience with over 500 events, we’ve found that music amplifies the impact of your message tenfold. For us, that’s non-negotiable.

What is the Helden app?

An app that guides participants through the event. Packed with games, points, badges, and leaderboards. Fully customizable. It can also be used on its own: if you just want the app for your own event, that’s possible too.

What group size is this suitable for?

From 50 to 2,000+ participants. We have formats tailored to every group size. For larger groups, we deploy multiple teams, facilitators, and activity areas simultaneously, ensuring the experience remains intimate.

How far outside the box do you go?

As far as you dare to go. From a gospel singer at a communication skills workshop to a spiritual brothel for social safety. We always choose the concept that conveys the message most powerfully, even if it makes us uncomfortable. Because that’s where the learning happens.

How much preparation time do you need?

Starting 8 weeks in advance, we can deliver a fully customized event, including a musical and an app. The earlier we start, the more room there is for customization in the script, music, and performance concept.

Can you also handle the technical production for the entire event?

Yes. One partner for concept, script, music, musical, app, presenters, actors, facilitators, lighting, sound, and AV. One phone number, one plan, one invoice. All you have to do is show up.
