Summary

RMS Cloud, a leader in reservation and property management systems, hosted a powerful team-building event as part of their “RISE” conference in Melbourne. Aligned with their theme, our Wish List activity challenged teams to “level up” through a series of engaging tasks to support Foodbank Victoria. The event was a phenomenal success, with the team collecting over 600 food items, weighing 305kg, to create more than 600 meals for people experiencing hardship. This case study highlights how a fun, charity-focused activity can elevate a conference, strengthen team bonds, and make a significant community impact.

Their team is driven by a commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer success, making team cohesion and a strong company culture vital to their operations.

The Challenge

For their annual conference, themed “RISE,” RMS Cloud needed a team-building activity that would not only be fun and engaging but also embody the spirit of rising together and lifting others up. The key objectives were:

• To create a memorable and high-energy experience that aligned with the conference theme.
• To foster collaboration and connection among team members from different departments.
• To provide a tangible way for the team to give back to the community.
• To reinforce a culture of purpose and shared achievement.

The Solution: The Wish List Challenge

We tailored our popular Wish List activity to perfectly match the “RISE” theme, modelling it on our “Level Up” game format. The mission was clear: teams had to complete a series of fun and hilarious challenges across five distinct categories—Mental, Creative, Physical, Sensory, and Pot Luck—to “level up” and unlock food items.

These unlocked items were then used to build substantial Foodbank Hampers for Foodbank Victoria. This structure created a dynamic, goal-oriented atmosphere where every completed challenge had a direct and visible impact. The event culminated with a representative from Foodbank Victoria speaking to the group, connecting their efforts directly to the people they were helping.

Outstanding Results

The RMS Cloud team embraced the challenge with incredible enthusiasm, delivering exceptional results for both their team and the community.

Community Impact

• 600+ food items collected and packed into hampers.
• 305kg of food donated directly to Foodbank Victoria.
• Over 600 meals generated for Victorians experiencing food insecurity.

Team Engagement & Connection

• Teams collaborated effectively, leveraging diverse skills to overcome the varied challenges.
