During the bustle of working days, you do not notice how quickly time flies.
Especially it concerns programmers, testers and business analysts, people who spend most of their lives at the computer and are in a constant process of intellectual activity. They just need to sometimes receive a charge of positive emotions and impressions - this is what makes us carefully approach the organization of holidays, cooperatives and just small gatherings in the office.
And the reason for the event is never difficult for us to find! We have a foreign company, and we can take the opportunity to celebrate any foreign holiday. Also, our guys often go on business trips abroad, and on arrival we will definitely get together to give them the opportunity to share their impressions and treat us to good foreign alcohol. ))
This time we had 2 good reasons to have fun: Halloween was coming, the mysterious celebration of the supernatural and unexplainable, and the long-awaited extension of the contract with one of our key clients.
We immediately decided to combine 2 of these events and sketched a bunch of ideas for implementation - all this was supported by a letter with instructions on day X, in order to pre-configure the guys to actively participate and set the right mood.

What happened in the end, even for the organizers was a surprise. )

Running from the morning into the dressing room, by my side of the eye I noticed a kind of scary creature quietly sipping coffee in the kitchen, someone else in a long black raincoat and with a scythe leisurely hosted near the coffee machine. On the back ran a chill from what he saw ... the guys prepared thoroughly!


The rooms we decorated on the eve also made an impression: grinning pumpkins-lamps stood cheerfully everywhere, bats sat in small flocks on the walls, huge baskets full of oranges, painted faces on them stood on the tables, and helium balloons with Halloween-themed prints hung on the tables, The inscription “Halloween” seemed to flow in bloody drops from all the magnetic boards.

And on the main table was a basket with the attributes of this holiday: horns of devils or bats, glasses, pirate armbands, which everyone could use to create their own unique image. ))

One of the key moments of the event was the appearance in the office of this master of face art. It turned out to be a pretty young girl and, of course, a line of programmers immediately lined up for her. The artist completed the picture of the event very well, and several zombie men, vampires, ghouls, evil sorceresses, werewolves and terminators came out from under her light hand, and there were also especially distinguished ones - intelligent pumpkin, Joker and Frankenstein. ))






In the middle of the day, the office was full of "orgy of madness," at the desktops there were all kinds of evil spirits that one can imagine; all kinds of winged-tailed creatures flew from the meeting room to the meeting room. It was worth a look!



“For dessert” at the end of the working day everyone was waiting for prizes and gifts, a laid table, and it ended with an exciting game of “Mafia”!
