Games for Grown-Ups

Programming that leaves kids battling for more, now available for adults!

Find yourself lost in the whimsy of running with a flag in one hand and your sword in another as your friends – now turned enemies – chase after you. Build pre-cut swords and shields or design your own before learning the rules of safe-sword tag and then engaging in small field games with a final big game of Capture the Flag.

If swords and daggers aren’t your cup of tea, join us for a Limitless Worlds collaborative event, involving conversations between you and our staff artists to come up with an out-of-this-world experience that is as Limitless as the confines of your imagination.

Every event could use a little sword play!
  • A bachelor, bachelorette, or pre-nuptial celebration!
  • A birthday party or other cause to celebrate!
    • Imagine ringing in your 30th or 60th birthday with a game of Capture the Flag against your family, friends, neighbors, and close community – all while wielding swords and daggers at each other!
  • Corporate Events
    • Team bonding
      • There is arguably no better way to bring a team together, whether it is specifically as a team building exercise or simply for the thrill of playing together after working together, than to hand everyone a sword and host a competitive dueling circle! You know you want to…
      • Going over battle tactics and strategy helps participants reflect on their own strengths and the strengths of their teammates in a way that is both individualistic and collaborative.
        • Our programming can be adjusted to help individuals label self-strengths and then collectively recognize how their strengths work within a team setting. We tend to assign ourselves labels, such as “the creative”, “the leader”, “the organizer”, and “the activator” when working in team spaces. What if we wore colors to represent these “labels” and then worked with our team in competitive games where we recognize each other’s strengths as they play out in a visible way beyond work-place confines. Just one of the many ways to customize programming to team building exercises.
      • You have to think strategically, collaboratively, and quickly while playing Capture the Flag. In order to win, your team needs to work together.
    • A wedding!
      • What better way to say your “I do’s” than with a beautiful crafted cardboard wedding! Our skilled artists will craft all the visual details for your big day: decorations for the aisle and for the altar, cardboard bouquets to say your commitment to creativity is real; table numbers, event signs and other details for the reception area.
      • Why not take the next big step and host a game day with your wedding party? Not only will we make the visuals for your big day, our staff will make custom sword-taggers and shields with guests or bring along a collection of pre-made swords and shields for use in small field games. Watch as your families become truly united while fighting against each other!

Our talented artist staff can bring the adventure to you or welcome you to the Adventures in Cardboard Studio space! Our studio is in the Old FIre Station #24, 4501 Hiawatha, MInneapolis; readily accessible by light rail and public transit as well as by multiple bike paths. We are a short walk to Minnehaha Creek where much of our playing takes place. After the battle has ended, you are welcome to continue the event in our studio space or walk the short distance to Venn Brewing, the Bull’s Horn Food and Drink, or Parkway Pizza, among other options.

No matter your event needs, our team of skilled improvisational artists can rise to the challenge. Both you and your guests will leave wondering why this kind of adventure can’t happen every day.
