👏 Teambuilding Rewards
Shared experiences that bring your team closer — whether you're all in the same room or spread across time zones. These rewards turn peer recognition into something the whole team feels.
Team Happy Hour
Suggested cost: 300–500 tacos
Celebrate with your team! Pool your tacos together and cash them in for a virtual or in-person happy hour. Whether it's mocktails, margaritas, or just a chance to laugh together, this reward is all about connection.
Why it works
It turns peer recognition into a shared team experience, reinforces connection and belonging, and gives teammates something fun to look forward to — especially valuable for distributed teams.
Admin notes
Suggested budget of $10–$20 per person. Admins can handle reimbursement directly or use a gift card service to simplify logistics. To boost participation, encourage teams to theme their happy hour — trivia, show and tell, or a mocktail-making session. Adjust the taco cost based on team size and budget.
1-on-1 Class with a Teammate (Team Talent Exchange)
Suggested cost: 25–40 tacos
Let team members offer a mini class in something they love — guitar, yoga, baking, watercolor, a new language. Redeemers cash in tacos for a private session with a willing teammate.
Why it works
Builds relationships, celebrates hidden talents, and turns your team into the culture itself. It's fun, skill-sharing, and bonding all in one.
Admin notes
Ask teammates to volunteer their talents via a short form. Create a mini directory (e.g. "Who wants to learn Italian?"). Set expectations: just one 30–60 min session per redemption.
Team Taco Lunch (In Office or Virtual)
Suggested cost: 300–600 tacos
A team taco party! When the taco threshold is met, everyone gets tacos delivered or gathers for a taco bar in real life.
Why it works
Nothing brings people together like tacos. A low-cost, high-reward ritual that celebrates recognition and each other.
Admin notes
Set a recurring cadence (monthly or quarterly). Coordinate delivery for remote folks or host an in-office taco day with decor and music.
Virtual Game Night with a Host
Suggested cost: 800–1,200 tacos
When your team reaches a taco milestone, you unlock a hosted virtual game night — complete with trivia, mini-games, or a custom challenge show. Hosted by a service like Teambuilding.com or Weve, or a talented teammate.
Why it works
Remote teams thrive on shared experiences. Game nights break down silos, create belly laughs, and bring your team together in a way Zoom meetings never will.
Admin notes
Choose a platform or appoint a charismatic host. Set a date that works for most of the team. Bonus: add taco-themed trivia or shout-outs between rounds!
Team Taco Cook-Along
Suggested cost: 800–1,000 tacos
Once unlocked, the whole team joins a virtual taco cooking party! Everyone gets a grocery stipend and meets on Zoom for a live cook-along, led by a teammate or a hired chef.
Why it works
Nothing builds bonds like cooking and eating together. It's fun, hands-on, and delightfully messy in the best way.
Admin notes
Offer a $20–$30 stipend per person. Let the team vote on the taco type or toppings. Record the session for anyone who can't join live — and don't forget to screenshot those taco masterpieces.
