The team event nobody dreads.
Fast rounds, friendly competition, and laughing-across-the-table energy that actually brings people together. Mahjong is the rare team activity where nobody checks their phone. No icebreakers, no trust falls - just a table where the intern can out-play the VP. Your whole team starts on equal footing.
Not a workshop. A game night.
Most team building is either cringe or boring. This is neither.
The great equalizer
At the table, titles disappear. The newest hire and the C-suite exec are dealt the same tiles. Real connection happens between people who'd never normally talk shop.
Competitive without the cringe
Quick rounds, real strategy, the rush of racing to complete your hand. It scratches the competitive itch without putting anyone on the spot or making them sweat in front of the boss.
Social by design
You're trading, reacting, scheming out loud, and groaning at your own bad luck. Conversation happens on its own. No forced icebreakers, no name-tag energy.
New to almost everyone
Most people have never played, so the whole team discovers it together. It's novel, it's a little addictive, and it's the kind of afternoon people actually talk about afterward.
Olive & June: 50 people, one night.
A 50-person team event for Olive & June at Hotel Magdalena on South Congress. 12 tables, 1,824 tiles, and a full team of table coaches, so every guest was playing real hands by the end of the night.
Built around your team.
A lunch-and-learn at the office. An after-hours mixer that pairs perfectly with happy hour. A half-day offsite with a friendly tournament and prizes on the line. We shape it to your group size, your space, and the vibe you're after. Tables of four, any total group size, and my coaching team runs the tables for the big ones.
