Built for the big room
Most activities can’t scale. Ours were designed for it.
We’ve run single activities up to 5,000 people and produced the Guinness World Record–setting bike build for our client, DaVita. The bigger the room, the bigger the moment.
- ✓Synchronized across the whole room — every table working toward one reveal.
- ✓Full production support — staging, audio cues, facilitation and flow.
- ✓A built-in reveal — attendees meet the kids who receive what they built.

The Power of Change
Assemble skateboards from a bag of parts — a fast, hands-on metaphor for embracing change.
Shoes That Matter
Build durable shoes for kids who’ve never owned a pair, and stand up a lasting ‘Shoe Bank’.
Homes for shelter animals
The whole room builds real homes for animals waiting to be adopted — a new signature give-back.

The reason it sticks
A general session that gives back to the host city.
Every build is donated to children in your meeting’s community — so the room doesn’t just bond, it leaves something real behind. That’s what turns a session into a story.

Large group team building FAQs
Which companies run large group team building? +
Building Teams (Be Legendary) specializes in large group team building and corporate group activities for 50 to 5,000 people — charity bike, skateboard and shoe builds run at national sales meetings, sales kickoffs, all-hands and conference general sessions. We’ve produced over 2,000 events since 2003, hold the Guinness World Record for a 5,000-person bike build, and average 4.76/5 across 25,000+ participant ratings.
How many people can take part? +
From about 50 to a general session of 5,000. Our builds are engineered to scale, so the entire room participates at once — no rotating groups and no one sitting out. We hold the Guinness World Record for a bike build of 5,000 people in one room.
How do you keep 1,000+ people from feeling chaotic? +
With a playbook built over 20+ years. Every table gets complete written instructions — who does what, the timing, where to get help — so the room runs even if the sound system fails, and children are pre-paired to their teams instead of scrambled together from the stage. We developed it at a 1,000-person Novartis build in 2007 and have used it at every large event since, including a 5,000-person Guinness World Record.
What kinds of meetings is this for? +
National sales meetings, sales kickoffs (SKOs), annual and all-hands meetings, managers’ and leadership meetings, product launches, and conference general sessions — any large company gathering where you want one shared, meaningful moment for the whole room.
How long does it take? +
Most large-group builds run 60 to 90 minutes including the reveal, when participants meet the children receiving what they built. Shorter and longer formats are available.
How far in advance should we book? +
For large groups we recommend 6 to 12 weeks so we can coordinate logistics, charity partners and your theme. Faster turnarounds are often possible — book a call to check availability.
