Gun turret breaks for an office sales rally or engineering bash
Run the sales rally or engineering bash where your team already works, with a private gun turret range open alongside it. Colleagues finish a call block, code review or bug hunt, play a quick match and return to work. The competition carries on throughout the booking, so the whole organisation has a shared activity without travelling to an offsite.
A team activity alongside the working day
Book Shov's private gun turret arena for a 5- or 10-hour window. Employees join from their own office or home browsers for 90-second matches, then return to work. Up to 12 people play at once; back-to-back rounds provide 480 player slots an hour for visits throughout a sales rally or engineering bash.
Keep the work rally in the office
An office team can book an online range just as a distributed team can. Each employee opens the event on their own phone or laptop and controls a real gun turret at the US range. The gun turrets fire less-lethal .68 caliber rounds at sensor targets. Players click or tap active green targets; confirmed projectile impacts count as kills.
Use the arena as a running competition alongside the day's work. Your rally still has its call blocks, build sessions, reviews and demos. Staff visit the range between those blocks, compare scores in the company channel and return for more rounds during the booking. Remote colleagues use the same controls and join the same arena.
A sales rally with matches between call blocks
Open the rally with the day's sales priorities and the arena invitation. Run your first focused call block, then invite colleagues to take a range break before the next block. Keep the arena available while other staff continue calls or follow-ups. Use your existing sales tools for sales results and Shov's leaderboard for the gun turret competition.
- Share the booked opening and closing times with a named time zone, plus one event link in the rally channel.
- Suggest range visits after the morning call block, around lunch and after the afternoon follow-ups. Colleagues choose a visit that fits their work.
- Share a leaderboard update at a rally check-in, then let people return for another attempt during the private booking.
- Finish with your sales wrap-up and the arena results. Share match replay links in the same company channel.
An engineering bash with a live range alongside it
For a bug bash, colleagues can play after a testing pass or before returning to triage. For a build day, use a match as the break between a focused implementation block and a code review. Keep your issue tracker and demos as the record of the engineering work; the arena gives everyone another competition to return to across the day.
Invite teams across the organisation. Engineers, support, design and operations can join the range from their own desks between their parts of the programme. A shared office display can show the arena or leaderboard alongside each player's individual controls.
An example workday with an arena open throughout
| Local time | Work programme | Arena layer |
|---|---|---|
| 09:00 | Rally kickoff: call priorities or engineering goals | Share the invitation and booked window |
| 09:15–10:30 | Calls, coding or the first testing pass | Staff visit the range around their own breaks |
| 10:30–12:00 | Next work block and follow-ups | Suggest a visit after the completed block |
| 12:00–13:00 | Lunch and cross-team catch-ups | Keep the same arena available for more matches |
| 13:00–15:30 | Afternoon calls, reviews or bug triage | Post a leaderboard update in the rally channel |
| 15:30–17:00 | Demos or sales wrap-up | Return for more rounds and share the results |
Choose the private window and plan repeat visits
| Private arena window | Fixed total, USD | Matches | Player slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 hours | $8,000 | 200 | 2,400 |
| 10 hours | $14,000 | 400 | 4,800 |
Large and whole-company groups are a strong fit. A full arena provides 480 slots an hour across 40 back-to-back matches. Colleagues join with the event invitation during the booked window; allowed company domains can also use verified email access. After playing, a person sits out the next match before joining again. Staff can use that interval to return to their work, then revisit the arena.
Choose the booking window around the offices you want to include. The arena runs 24/7 and the planner displays times in your own zone. A named time zone in your rally announcement gives everyone the same reference, including colleagues joining from home or another office.
What the organiser runs and what Shov runs
Shov supplies the private arena, matches, live AI announcer and company leaderboard. Your organiser runs the work programme, messages colleagues and chooses when to post scores. The suggested call, code and break schedules above are plans for your calendar; the event does not assign those work blocks or connect them to your sales or issue-tracking tools.
Each player needs their own supported phone or laptop browser and a stable internet connection. Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox are supported. Players receive highlight reels by email after matches; the organiser receives a recap video, event page and leaderboard image after the session.
FAQ
Can an office team do this without travelling to an offsite?
Yes. Each colleague controls a real gun turret from their own office phone or laptop browser. Staff at home and in other offices can join the same private arena with the event invitation.
Can staff keep working between matches?
Yes. An arena-day booking lets people visit during the booked window and return to their work. Your organiser can suggest visits between call blocks, coding sessions, testing passes or meetings while the range continues to run matches.
Is one match the same as a full team session?
One match lasts 90 seconds and seats up to 12 players. A private booking contains many matches for repeated turns. The day-pass window is 5 or 10 hours, so employees can visit across the day.
Does the work rally require a connection to our CRM or issue tracker?
The suggested rally plan uses your existing work tools for calls, code and tasks. Shov runs the arena competition and its own leaderboard; your organiser shares the invitation and coordinates the day's work blocks.
What does a private arena day cost?
5 hours costs $8,000 for the private arena. 10 hours costs $14,000 for the private arena. Prices are in USD; the planner shows the total and availability before payment.
