The Blue Water Games is our annual company-wide event, where colleagues from around the world come together to celebrate Blue Water's birthday and experience the unique culture and heritage that has defined Blue Water for over five decades. It's a day of fun, team building, and friendly competition designed to strengthen team spirit across our global organisation.
Each year, one of our regions is chosen as the host for the Blue Water Games, welcoming all regional colleagues to a central location, while the other regions celebrate locally at their respective offices.
Activities vary from location to location, but one constant is our custom-designed "escape room in a box" game, which is reimagined annually to showcase the unique characteristics of the host region. The game is played for approximately 20 hours on the same day across different continents and time zones.
The Blue Water Games takes place on the second Saturday in September.
Blue Water Games Award
Making a positive impact on the places we call home
The winning team not only claims victory but also secures the esteemed Blue Water Games Award that comes with a DKK 250,000 donation from the Blue Water Foundation to a local charity of their choice.
Ahead of the Games, the Blue Water Foundation calls for nominations for charitable projects from colleagues around the world.
In 2023, we received more than 130 nominations. We are very grateful for this amazing commitment – just as we are proud to give back to the local communities where Blue Water is present.
