The Infinite Loop, Catalyst Global’s flagship virtual reality team-building experience, isn’t just a game—it’s a transformative approach to collaboration, communication, and iterative learning. Recently, this cutting-edge program took center stage at one of the most ambitious team-building events ever delivered: a 700-person mega session for global med-tech giant Stryker in Sydney, Australia.
What Is The Infinite Loop?
At its core, The Infinite Loop is a dynamic VR-based team challenge. One participant per team wears a VR headset to explore a digital world, while the rest of the team navigates real-world puzzle-solving and gives strategic instructions. The shared goal? Rescue a virtual character trapped in the system—an objective that demands synchronized communication, continuous adaptation, and agile problem-solving.
This isn't just play—it’s practice for high-stakes teamwork under pressure. Designed around lean management and agile principles, The Infinite Loop encourages rapid iteration, real-time feedback, and collective problem ownership.

Bringing the Product to Life: The Sydney Showcase
The real magic of The Infinite Loop was on full display when Catalyst Global partners worldwide came together to deliver a record-setting session for Stryker’s global team. With over 700 participants converging in Sydney, the event became the largest activation of The Infinite Loop to date.
Participants were divided into 100+ small teams, each immersed in the action. Coordinating so many teams simultaneously was complex, but it underscored the program's scalability and robustness.
But this wasn’t just about entertainment—it was team development at its best. By the end of the session, Stryker employees had forged stronger communication habits, sharpened their decision-making processes, and cultivated a deeper understanding of agile teamwork.
Why The Infinite Loop Stands Out
- Engaging Format: The mix of immersive VR with real-world collaboration is uniquely energizing.
- Iterative Learning: Teams improve each round, applying agile feedback in real-time.
- Cross-Functional Communication: Essential for VR-player coordination—skills that transfer directly to modern team workflows.
- Scalability & Flexibility: Perfect for groups of 10 or 1,000; onsite or remote.
More Than Just Team Building
The Sydney mega-event had a secondary impact as well. Thanks to the scale and momentum of The Infinite Loop session, $150,000 was raised for Australian bushfire relief efforts—demonstrating how meaningful engagement can fuel both corporate learning and community support.
Takeaway
Whether you’re looking to build trust among new hires, reinforce agile practices within leadership teams, or energize a global workforce, The Infinite Loop offers a proven, immersive, and highly scalable solution. The Sydney activation with Stryker wasn’t just a landmark event; it was proof that smart, gamified learning can scale globally and deliver tangible impact.
