5 Virtual Games To Use At Your Next Team Building Event

Choosing a team bonding activity isn’t always the easiest task, especially when most of your team is working remotely or isn’t always in the office. If you’re looking for a fun way to bring some games to your next team bonding event, don’t stress, we have added below 5 different ones you can use virtually!

Be careful that you aren’t giving your team-building event “forced fun” vibes. Fortunately, these games are genuinely fun and will help get rid of the awkwardness that can come with virtual team-building games!

First, Get Connected!

First things first, make sure you and the rest of your team are fully connected and ready to play! Make sure everyone has access to a strong wifi connection, a microphone, a camera or webcam on their computers and whatever links or information they need about the game

Virtual Scavenger Hunt

Virtual scavenger hunts are a great way to build your team up, as well as be creative in how you want to play. You can either create your scavenger hunt by getting your team to group up and find certain items online (photos, memes, events, links, videos, etc.).

Tip: Adding more fun items, like photos or memes, to the scavenger hunt will give your virtual event a little more laughs and entertainment to your team building. Keep it light and fin compared to feeling like they are doing work!

Among Us

Among Us has become a very popular game in the last couple of years. If you haven’t heard of it, Among Us is a virtual game all about teamwork, but also deception. Each player is dropped into a virtual spaceship while the team works together to complete tasks before an ”imposter” (one

 of the teammates) foils the mission. The imposter’s goal is to be the last one standing after taking out each teammate one by one without drawing suspicion. Teamwork will be required to complete the tasks in time and to determine the trader among them.

If you’re looking for a game that is fun, easy to play, and pretty well known, this is a great option to try out! 

Virtual Murder Mystery 

Who doesn’t love a good murder mystery? For a fun, team-building night at home, try out a virtual murder mystery with your team! For this one, you will have to find an online package that provides you with everything you need and/or a platform to play. This option is ideal for larger groups since there is a lot of interaction between teams. There are tons online, a quick Google search can help find any type you’d like to play! 

GeoGuessr 

Looking for a team-building game that lets your team travel, virtually? GeoGuessr is also a game that has been circling the internet for the last year and a half. It is a fun game that teleports you and your team anywhere in the world! 

Your group will be split into teams and virtually dropped in a random location via Google Maps. You’re then left to figure out where you are. You can look for anything that gives you an indication of where you might be. This could be looking for license plates, road signs, and other geographic ideas. The team that pins the closest location earns the most points. 

Online Escape Rooms

The idea of being locked in a room with your co-workers might not be everyone’s thing, but creating the same idea virtually and doing it from your couch might be! The virtual escape room gets your team to work together to escape the virtual room in time. As we said earlier, a quick Google search can help you choose which virtual escape room platform to use. 

Even if your team is working remotely, you can still help bring them together with activities that bring fun and team-building together!
