Context
Human foosball is a team-building activity held on a 13 x 6.5-meter inflatable field located in an open-air area in Colmenar de Oreja, within the Sierra de Madrid. This rural setting provides a spacious, natural environment ideal for corporate and social events, just minutes from central Madrid by car. The activity recreates the classic foosball game using people instead of figures, with players attached to horizontal bars that restrict lateral movement and require precise coordination. The estimated physical effort is 85%, while team collaboration reaches 95%.
The experience
After setting up the inflatable field, a trained monitor explains the rules and assigns positions to participants, who hold onto metal bars while moving side to side. The wind carries the scent of thyme, and the soft, bouncy surface yields slightly with every step. Teams of up to eight people compete in 45-minute matches, where communication and strategy are essential to score goals. The session ends with dismantling the equipment and packing up.
For whom
Ideal for corporate teams seeking to strengthen collaboration and communication in a fun, natural environment. Also suitable for groups of friends or family members with at least eight participants who enjoy light to moderate physical activity. Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility or physical conditions that affect lateral movement.
