What Foss Event AS does
Foss Event AS is a Norwegian private limited company (aksjeselskap) that operates as a full-service corporate event agency headquartered in Oslo with an owned event venue, Camp Foss, in Østmarka (Rælingen). Founded around 2003 and operating with approximately 5 employees, the company plans and executes teambuilding, sommerfest (summer parties), julebord (Christmas parties), firmafest (corporate parties), and kick-off events for businesses across the Oslo and Viken (Østlandet) region, and has completed over 1,500 event arrangements to date. Its customer base is a long tail of corporate and government clients spanning professional services, energy, finance, retail, construction, maritime, logistics, and technology — including Coca-Cola, PwC, EY, Hafslund, Lloyds Register, and Politiet — with a sales-led, event-driven GTM anchored on word-of-mouth referrals, organic SEO, and a 4.9/5 Google rating. Pricing is quote-based per person (650–1,650 kr) or per package, with proposals issued within 24 hours and a single contact person managing each engagement.
The company's product portfolio is organized around a set of differentiated event concepts layered onto seasonal occasion packages. The flagship proprietary concept is Urban Race, a tablet-based scavenger hunt with live scoring on big screens and post-event video/photo deliverables, executed over 400 times and deliverable on request in Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Drammen. Other concepts include Casino Royale (Las Vegas-style casino with professional croupiers), Popquiz (music quiz hosted by the duo "No Problem"), Chain Reaction (Rube Goldberg-style team builds), Team Battle (mobile activities), Jorda Rundt (indoor tablet trivia), and Rampenissen (Christmas-themed tablet game). These are bundled as Julebord, Sommerfest, Kick-off, and Firmafest packages, and can also be delivered as custom project management engagements (Skreddersydd).
The business model is professional services revenue, project-based and recurring: all-inclusive packages covering activities, food, venue, staff, transport, and entertainment, priced per person for mobile offerings (Team Battle at 650 kr; Urban Race Christmas Race from 1,290 kr; Popquiz Julebord from 1,650 kr with a 40-person minimum) or as total package quotes for multi-component or venue-based events at Camp Foss. Distribution is direct-to-corporate via the website contact form, phone, and email handled by a single contact person (Tommy Sand), with no resellers or third-party channels; growth comes from repeat bookings, referrals, and geographic expansion of flagship concepts rather than from paid acquisition or external funding.
