Dumpling workshop · Team building for companies and groups in Madrid
A team building
you can eat
Falling backwards and waiting for your workmates to catch you can be alright, but you can't eat that afterwards. You can't eat the post-its from that game where you stick words on your forehead either. And you can't make dumplings out of paintball pellets. However, at DUM DUM™'s dumpling workshop you learn to make things, you cook in teams and, on top of that, you end up eating it. What a plan, honestly.

WORKSHOP STEP BY STEP
We put you in teams. Don't try the “we'll make our own teams” move, because no. In fact, we're going to put you with whoever you're most distant from.
“I loved my team. It was the receptionist, the CFO, the accounts trainee and me — we looked like the Fellowship of the Ring. I felt a bit like Frodo. Though, to be fair, I am 4'7”.”
Luis Tovar
At the office they call him Luisito, but ever since that day, it's said with love.
You get covered head to toe in flour — but it's an incredible moment, because the flour stains the trainee the same as the CEO. And that levels things out.
“I told my boss that since we were already rolling out dough, he could loosen up the dough a bit too. He said: nice one, but don't push it. We laughed without looking at each other. Ever since, we just nod in the lift.”
Marina Nogales
She's the boss's daughter, but nobody at the office knows it. Not even the boss.
From the third one on they come out better. Anyway, the important thing isn't making them well but being able to make them badly and not feel like you're getting fired.
“I'd spent years wondering whether the guy from accounting was that nice bloke I met at a coffee shop in Amsterdam. The moment I saw him folding dumplings, all my doubts disappeared.”
Pablo Gómez
growth manager at the company. and in his hydroponic garden.
Steam, sauce, toppings, and done. It's cool because here the bosses might do it worse and you show them and they shut up and admit you're right.
“The best part of the workshop is that it's not an escape room. We already do enough escaping at 6:30pm.”

You sit down and eat the result. You applaud each other because you busted your ass for it, and the food tastes like glory because you made it yourselves. THE END.
That range is the optimal one, but we've also done it with bigger groups — it's just a matter of organising. If your group is bigger, let us know.
We only do it here because it's the big one, the one with the open kitchen, the one that makes you feel a bit like you're in The Bear, the one that looks best in photos, and the one where you'll be comfortable — which is what matters.
Once you're done cooking, you get to taste everything on the menu at the restaurant. It includes a starter to share, a drink, a tasting of every dumpling on the menu, and a dessert. You'll be properly spoiled, honestly.
The experience is designed so that in 2 - 2.5 hours you have time to finish the workshop and eat. All fast-paced, no downtime, dynamic, and built so nobody gets bored. Short. Sweet.
The price? We'll give it to you the moment you tell us how many you are.
