A unique experience in the dark for your team building event in Geneva

In today’s professional world, where human relationships are more essential than ever, the need to reconnect with the senses, communicate differently, and discover one another in a new light is becoming a priority. In Geneva, a singular experience awaits companies looking for an original team building activity: a dinner in complete darkness at Dans le Noir ?, located in the heart of the Ritz-Carlton Hôtel de la Paix. A surprising interlude that transforms a simple meal into a truly sensory corporate experience. 

Organising a corporate seminar or afterwork event can often become a routine exercise, lacking engagement. To bring new meaning to these moments of connection, Dans le Noir ? Geneva offers a bold alternative: immerse your team in total darkness, guided by blind or visually impaired team members, and share a 100% mystery dinner. 

When sight fades, the other senses awaken. Sounds are sharper, flavours are heightened, and conversations become more focused and authentic. Hierarchies dissolve, roles shift, and communication flows freely. 

In this welcoming darkness, usual markers disappear, leaving space for sincere listening and spontaneous collaboration. The group dynamic takes over quickly. Participants help one another, laugh, wonder aloud, and dare to communicate differently. Exchanges become more meaningful, more personal. 

This sensory team experience challenges habits, encourages trust, and invites participants to let go. It’s also a powerful, inclusive moment of awareness about visual impairment - handled with sensitivity, not pathos. 

The format is ideal for developing empathy, improving interpersonal communication and reinforcing cohesion within a team. 

Beyond the dinner, several interactive formats are available to enhance the experience. Companies can opt for blind tastings (wine, chocolate, cocktails), olfactory workshops, or collaborative sensory games specifically designed for group dynamics. These additional activities offer a playful and engaging way to deepen the experience and explore teamwork in a new context. They can be included before or after dinner, or be offered as a stand-alone event. 

Set within one of Geneva’s most prestigious venues, Dans le Noir ? Geneva is more than just a concept restaurant. It is a space for exchange, reflection, and meaningful encounters. The elegant atmosphere of the Ritz-Carlton combined with the power of darkness creates an intimate and memorable setting. 

The restaurant offers several options for businesses, from team building dinners to private events, with tailor-made formats for seminars or afterwork events in Geneva. Our team works closely with each company to design a unique moment that aligns with their goals and values. 

This original team building idea requires no prior knowledge, special equipment or physical condition. It suits all generations and personality types - from the most introverted to the most outgoing. 

This extraordinary experience brings together colleagues from different departments or hierarchical levels to share a collective journey. It fosters cohesion, gently nudging participants out of their comfort zones while maintaining a safe and welcoming environment. 

Beyond group events, Dans le Noir ? Geneva also offers corporate gift cards. A dinner in the dark is much more than a meal - it’s a moment of true disconnection, a rare and memorable sensory journey. It’s the perfect reward for employees, a way to thank clients, or to celebrate milestones in your company’s life. 

Far from traditional entertainment or impersonal concepts, Dans le Noir ? Geneva invites you to experience a true human adventure. Darkness becomes a powerful equaliser. It erases visible differences, encourages attentive listening and mutual support, and brings human connection to the forefront. 

It’s a neutral space, stripped of superficial codes, where everyone is equal. A rare opportunity to explore group dynamics in a new light, remove barriers, and create meaningful shared memories. 

For every corporate event, our team provides full support: format definition, personalised welcome, onsite coordination, dietary restrictions and allergies… Every detail is taken care of to ensure a smooth, enjoyable experience aligned with your company’s values. 

Full or partial private hire options are available, whether for daytime or evening events, depending on your needs for corporate seminars or professional gatherings in Geneva.
