Planning a corporate outing, summer party, or team-building event? If you’re looking for outdoor games for adults that are actually exciting, you’ve come to the right place. Too often, large group events fall flat with boring activities like casual frisbee or passive trivia.
At Forever Field Day, we specialize in fun outdoor games for large groups that get everyone moving, laughing, and bonding — without anyone sitting on the sidelines. Here’s a list of high-energy, competitive games your team will remember long after the event.
🏃 Capture the Flag
A classic for a reason. Divide your group into teams and compete to capture the other team’s flag while defending your own. It’s fast-paced, strategic, and perfect for summer team activities.
Why it works: Players must communicate, coordinate, and think on their feet — all while running, dodging, and laughing.

🏐 Dodgeball
Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and… avoid getting out! Dodgeball is a nostalgic favorite turned adult competition. Modify rules for fairness or keep it competitive with multiple balls and referees.
Why it works: High energy + low equipment = maximum fun. Everyone participates, and teamwork is key to winning.

🥔 Relay Races
From three-legged races to sack races, relays are ideal for large groups because everyone can take part. Add a twist with obstacle courses or water challenges for extra fun.
Why it works: Encourages collaboration, coordination, and cheering for teammates. Plus, they’re hilarious to watch!
🤾 Tug-of-War
Simple, yet intense. Teams pull with all their strength to win. This classic fun outdoor game never fails to get everyone hyped up.
Why it works: Builds team spirit, emphasizes strategy, and gives participants a memorable sense of camaraderie.
🎯 Lawn Games & Challenges
Add variety with oversized Jenga, cornhole, or giant Connect 4. You can rotate teams to keep energy high and let different groups compete.
Why it works: Perfect for lighter moments between high-intensity games, still promoting teamwork and friendly competition.
🌞 Why Choose High-Energy Games Over Typical Outings
Sure, you could book Top Golf or Dave & Buster’s. But those outings often leave large portions of your group waiting or disengaged. Forever Field Day ensures that every participant is active, laughing, and involved from start to finish.
Our events are fully structured for large groups, whether it’s a 20-person department team or a 100-person corporate outing. And unlike passive entertainment, your team leaves energized, bonded, and with stories to tell.
