Challenge

Google Assistant wanted a magical holiday event that fostered creativity and connection. It needed to be an immersive campus-wide experience that would help 1,500 employees explore their workspace while building cross-team relationships.

Handstand Magic

We designed The Great Assistant Hunt, a scavenger hunt across their campus with immersive characters, interactive challenges, and a collaborative art finale.

It was a holiday hit! Positive community feedback has led to multiple subsequent engagements.
