• It is more inclusive than on-site events & gives more people the opportunity to participate;
• It's straightforward, content can be customized on the fly;
• It is infection-proof, which is especially important in the run-up to Christmas;
• It's flexible and easy on the budget.

How does a virtual team event work digitally?
Basically, the following applies: Depending on the individual agreement, individual adjustments can be made for you and your team building event.
To give you an approximate idea, we present an example of a virtual remote team event here:
In our approx. 60 to 90-minute digital events, we will turn you and your team into real chocolate experts! For this we give you a comprehensive introduction to the world of fine chocolate, provide you with background knowledge as well as tips and tricks on how you can really enjoy chocolate.
The team event is anything but a frontal presentation: surveys, quizzes and Q&A sessions make the tasting an interactive chocolate experience.
As part of the German or English-language digital team event, you will learn:
- How chocolate is made and what role sustainability plays in this;
- What separates fine chocolate from supermarket chocolate;
- What you should pay attention to when tasting chocolate;
- Which other stimulants can be combined with chocolate;
- Which techniques you can use to taste flavors particularly well.
Armed with the new knowledge, we taste the chocolates together, look behind the scenes of the individual manufacturers and discover and discuss the exciting aromas and new impressions.
In short: we take you on a very special, chocolaty taste excursion!

Digital events that connect you!
Even after two years , digital team building events can still be exciting. It is important to be creative and of course chocolate can also have a positive influence. 😉
Your digital group event is a great opportunity to get together with the team and celebrate the end of the year away from the stress of everyday life. Because whether virtual, hybrid or on site: a little Christmas decoration - on the employees, but also in the digital space - creates a cozy atmosphere. Ask your employees to dress festively, in a Christmassy or funny way (keyword: Ugly Sweater Contest), choose suitable decoration and music. Of course, a creative event invitation and chocolate care package in advance also make a difference!
Whether as an icebreaker or as the crowning glory - a tasting event gives your virtual team event that certain something. It connects the remote teams and employees in the home office in an exciting shared taste experience. Whether for small groups or large groups of over 400 participants, we have the right package for every group size.

FAQ Virtual team events
Your most common questions about our digital team events - small groups, big celebrations 🎉
Where can a virtual team event take place?
Since virtual team events - as the name suggests - primarily take place digitally, they can take place internationally and worldwide, remotely via Google Hangouts, Zoom, Teams or via software of your choice. We are happy to adapt to your wishes and habits!
What technical requirements do you need for the online team event?
Digital team events take place virtually. Accordingly, you should bring a stable internet connection and a working camera + microphone. The chocolate tasting should be interactive and generate as much exchange as possible. So it would be great if you would take part with a good device and not just on a smartphone or tablet. If your team is already working remotely or in the home office anyway, all the technical requirements for an online team tasting should usually already be in place.
Which packages can teams choose from?
With our three packages 'Basic', 'Premium' and 'Deluxe' we fulfill your ideas of a successful virtual team event in the home office, remote or hybrid - for all budgets and target groups. If you have special wishes or requirements, just talk to us!
How many people must participate at least?
In principle, a digital team event - also as a Christmas party - is already possible for small groups. Depending on which package you choose, there is a different minimum number of participants for our digital group events. Talk to us and we will find a solution together.
And what is the maximum number of colleagues who can take part in an online team event?
In principle, there is no upper limit for our tastings. We have also held virtual chocolate events for 500 people and can adapt to any group size and event format. Nevertheless, you should always be aware of the objective of your event in advance. A certain event size is definitely conducive to interactivity. With more than 400 participants, however, it may be less interactive and dividing the group could make sense. Since we have already held over 1,500 digital tastings and team events, we would be happy to advise you!
How do you deal with data protection at team events that take place digitally?
The data protection regulations of your company and, of course, the GDPR apply to online team events.
In this regard, we are also happy to follow your regulations and, accordingly, the video software of your choice!
Is it possible to participate in the online event from anywhere?
From a technical point of view, participation in the virtual team event is possible from anywhere in the world. A stable internet connection and a suitable device are required. Depending on the format and ideas, it can also make sense for you to hold the event partly from your home office, partly remotely and partly in the office. This way you can keep the event inclusive and everyone can participate as he or she is able.
Is there actually a difference between 'Virtual Team Events', 'Online Team Events' or 'Remote Events'?
No. In fact, these different terms have emerged during the Corona period, but they all ultimately describe a digital company event or team event. In plain language, it simply means that you connect with each other digitally and promote your team spirit and your sense of community in a virtual way - for example through a chocolate tasting.
Does Theyo also offer the digital team event in English?
Yes, I'd love to. We can hold the chocolate tasting team events in both German and English.
Do you have someone at Theyo leading through the event?
The Theyo team takes you on an exciting taste excursion! This means that you can pester at least one certified chocolate expert with your questions at the extraordinary team event.
How far in advance does the appointment need to be set?
So that nothing stands in the way of your event and everything arrives on time, we need a lead time of at least 3 weeks. We are happy to try to make it possible in a shorter time, but then we cannot guarantee anything, since the post office currently has very long delivery times.
Can we freely choose the date and time?
In principle, a digital team event is possible almost every day and at almost any time. Feel free to suggest your desired date and an alternative date and we will take care of the rest. The time can be freely selected, but from experience we recommend choosing a time slot in the morning or evening when your head is still or a little freer.
Can participants be cancelled?
Unfortunately, no participants can be canceled after a binding booking. However, you can book additional participants up to 10 days before your event. As a rule, the chocolate boxes arrive on time.
Are the team events only aimed at corporate customers?
No. Instead of an online team event, you can also book a digital birthday party, a virtual JGA or a similar event with us. Please send us a message about this!
What payment options do you offer?
Whether classic bank transfer (payment term: 30 days), PayPal or payment by credit card. We offer all common payment methods. An advance payment is not necessary with us. We issue the invoice after the event.
Are the contents of the Theyo tasting box sufficient for more than one person?
Get in the pits and off to adventure! With the Theyo tasting box for the team event, your employees, customers and business partners with family or friends go on an exciting journey for all the senses. Exciting aromas and surprising taste profiles take the recipient on a taste excursion to the other end of the world. Sharing is caring! That's why it's so much fun to discover the box together with friends or family. Depending on the box size and scope, the box is sufficient for at least 2-4 people for the tasting. However, one box is often enough for a tasting with up to 10 people. Depending on how much the gifted person wants to share ;-). If you send a gift box digitally for a team event, it is also a good idea for the whole family - especially children - to be part of it. The chocolate tasting is a wonderful experience, which is even more fun when shared!
Can the package also be sent directly to the recipient?
An individual dispatch to your team members, (potential) customers or business partners is no problem at all! Just get in touch with us and we will see - depending on the number of packages - what the most suitable type of address collection is.
What happens if the participants do not accept the packages sent individually? eg because they are on vacation?
When shipping with DHL, the following applies: if your colleagues, employees or team members do not accept it on the first delivery attempt, the tasting box is usually handed over to a neighbour, a parcel shop or a shop nearby. The gift recipients are usually informed directly by DHL. If the participants do not receive or pick up their sample box within 7 days, the deliverers will assume that the shipment is not wanted and it will be sent back to us.
If you prefer a different delivery service for your team event or prefer express shipping, simply contact us.
Tasting boxes: On what basis is the value of the boxes for employees, colleagues and teams determined?
In principle, the value of the individual items counts for the chocolate boxes. However, if several items are combined (e.g. our chocolate shaker with a to-go cup and drinking chocolate), then of course the value of all items must be summarized as a whole.
In which case does the 50 euro limit count as net and in which case as gross?
The rule here is clear: in the case of donations that are eligible for input tax deduction, the net amount of the 50 euro limit (new since 2022) applies, otherwise in principle gross.
When is there a personal reason for gifts and which exemption limits must be observed here?
This is also quite easy to define: there is always a personal reason if it only affects the employee or colleague who received the gift and not all employees. Conversely, Christmas is not a personal occasion and is therefore subject (since 2022) to 50 euros (per month, gross, including shipping). This applies, for example, to weddings, birthdays, the birth of a child or company anniversaries. Gifts must not exceed the 60 euro limit if they are to be tax-free. The same applies here as with the 35 euro limit: as soon as the 60 euro is exceeded, there is a benefit that is subject to income tax, unless you as the employer make use of the flat-rate taxation.
What are the benefits of online team building?
Motivation and cohesion are particularly important in times of crisis! If there is also the fact of a physical separation - due to Corona or because you work remotely or in your home office anyway - digital team building is of particular relevance for you. With a virtual team building event, you ensure that your teams also associate pleasant aspects with digital work and not just the completion of tasks. Shared experiences - also virtual - strengthen the sense of togetherness and promote team spirit!
