Sales teams competed against one other in this heated game. They were intentionally positioned throughout the game to have the staff 'fight each other to death.' After humiliating the losing team with diapers and baby food, the victorious team threw pies at them.

After the event, employees sued the company, and they were awarded USD1.7 million! What a sham!
Many team-building games fail because they feature some or all of the aforementioned requirements. They think the best team games put teams against one other in fierce contests with clear winners and losers. Contrarily, most companies prefer employee cooperation over strong rivalry. Ideally, they want to work in a collaborative setting. So why choose team-building exercises that emphasise competition over collaboration?
Here are some reasons why team-building games fail:

The final goals and objectives are not understood: Employers want to be surprised, but this approach may backfire. If people are ignorant of the end goals, there may be substantial hostility. Instead, companies should inform employees about the initiative. Allowing workers to make choices is another option. Companies may start developing productive teams by respecting the team's opinions and giving them what they want.
Trying to scare staff into teaming up:

Facilitators sometimes give workers a huge job as the first activity. As a result, almost 90% of participants withhold their best effort. Facilitators must design games in a sequence that begins with games that address the group's present condition. Do the team members get along? If so, does the team need to resolve a disagreement first? To ensure equitable participation, the level of difficulty must be progressively raised.
Rough competition ending in rivalry: Teamwork is built on collaboration, not competition. According to study, teams who pick a cooperative strategy over a competitive one receive an advantage of over 87 percent. The causes are easy to find. When you want one team (or member) to win, everyone loses. People perform worse when they feel inadequate. With the pressure to win, some players may turn to immoral techniques. Also, people learn less when they fight. So instead of finding and rewarding winners, team building activities should concentrate on imparting lessons.

Lack of commitment
Management often thinks the programme is a joke to keep the workforce entertained. Teams naturally express this feeling, with bad results. Team building is a value aim, and senior management must think that the organisation lives on collaboration. Finally, the team building games are as good as the team building event company. Experts in the field can help management choose the best activities for their goals. Finding a team building expert that is passionate about what they do and ready to work with you to guarantee your team's success is crucial.
