Breaking Boundaries with Bingo: How W.S. Connelly Created Holiday Magic
W.S. Connelly, the go-to experts in landscape and turf solutions for everyone from groundskeepers to golf courses, decided to shake up the holiday season with a wildly fun and interactive event—Holiday Networking Bingo—on December 20th, 2024. Bringing together around 150 employees from 16 branches across the Southeast and Midwest, the event took full advantage of The Go Game’s Weve app, which transformed the usual workday into a one-hour frenzy of creative chaos.
Participants logged in as individuals but quickly found themselves teaming up with coworkers from other branches to tackle quirky challenges, like snapping hilarious holiday photos, answering tricky trivia, and hunting down colleagues who could recite lines from Adam Sandler's "The Chanukah Song."
As players racked up points, they engaged in head-to-head competitions and had to find people who fit all kinds of unusual criteria—like locating someone who’d received a Nintendo as a gift when they were a kid. After the frantic fun, each branch tuned in to a virtual event where a host showcased the best (and funniest) photos and videos from the morning’s game, complete with playful commentary and holiday tunes.
The grand finale? Crowning the winner! The event was a huge success, with employees bonding, laughing, and connecting across branches in a way they never had before. From silly challenges to spontaneous teamwork, it was the perfect mix of holiday cheer, friendly competition, and company culture-building. The live event had everyone in stitches, and participants loved how creative and fun it was.
W.S. Connelly was able to bring together its teams in a way that felt fresh, festive, and totally unique.
