So every year our department does Halloween contests - cube decorating and custome. Often teams do both together as a theme. In previous years, the team I was on didn't participate. But I love Halloween and thought it would be fun to do together.
With only 1-week notice, we decided on a theme of "Dell Bat Cave" for the cube decorating, and then dressing up as bats for the costume contest. The bat cave idea is particularly appropriate as Austin, TX - where Dell (our account) is located - is famous for it's urban bat colony (largest in the world). Plus bats are very halloween.
We decorate the full aisle we have as the cave (couldn't cover the "tunnel" completely due to fire hazard - but did the best we could with that in mind). We had a cave entrance, some scary bats, stalactites, cave walls, spider webs, and even a cave pond w/ waterfall (that's what all the tin foil is). Then we had the bats flying out of the cave and around the corner to our remaining 1/2-aisle of cubes which we made to look like a city-scape overwhelmed with bats.
The other two aisle decoartions we competed against were a haunted house, and the Addams Family (full front and then inside of the house and they all dressed up like Addams Family characters). Both awesome. Apparently the Addams family group has been planning theirs since June (so a bit of a head start). ;)
We had tons of fun putting up all the decorations and figuring out what we could do with this theme. What an easy way to add some fun teamwork to a work environment. Halloween rocks!
