First, they overcome teamwork challenges to gather ingredients and define their proposal. During the cooking phase, they collaboratively prepare the paella while facing digital challenges to unlock extras and complete their recipe. The experience concludes with a joint meal to taste their creations. ### How the experience feels The initial scavenger hunt breaks the ice, but the real challenge begins when teams receive three unexpected ingredients and must transform them into a paella with personality. The team divides tasks, seeks extras, and adapts their recipe on the fly. The best conclusion comes when everyone sits together, tastes the creations, and compares results. ### What makes it special A comprehensive team building experience, from the initial scavenger hunt to the shared meal, featuring various moments of connection among the group. Additionally, it allows for the integration of activities and gastronomy into a single experience. Deliverables One paella per team, evaluated by the jury and shared as the main meal. Water is included. After the event, photos taken by the teams during the challenges are delivered.

The paella prepared by the teams serves as a main dish, so Paella Challenge can be integrated as a meal for the event. Beverages, appetizers, and desserts can also be added. Paella Challenge includes water. Other beverages, appetizers, desserts, or catering add-ons can be added and quoted separately. Generally, Paella Challenge is held outdoors. It can only be organized indoors in spaces specifically authorized to cook safely. No. Paella Challenge is designed for all skill levels. Facilitators assist teams and help them follow the main steps during the paella preparation. Paella Challenge includes disposable utensils for all participants. If the event space has its own utensils, they can also be used as an alternative. Prior to Paella Challenge, participants are identified for each team. When necessary, specific ingredients are assigned to certain paellas to adapt them to pre-communicated allergies and diets. Each team creates its own paella from a selection of base ingredients. The goal is to develop an original and creative proposal rather than following a single, closed traditional recipe. ## Ready for Paella Challenge?
