10 Best Online Fun Games For Teams Building
Virtual Games have undeniable benefits compared to in-person meetings: operating cost reduction, the ability to attract guests from all over the world, and so on. They come with challenges as well: it’s hard to help guests focus on presentations and encourage everyone to connect when they are not sharing the same physical space.
Virtual games for team building has the power to make remote teams feel as tight-knit as on-site teams. This is especially true if you leverage purpose, vision, and enthusiasm to plan crowd-pleasing virtual team building activities.
Top 10 virtual games:
Since Day 1, Khiladi is supporting fun online games, helping hosts break the fourth wall of video conferencing, improve engagement, and have fun with their guests. In this post, we will share a few creative ways in which our clients use the virtual gaming platform and boost games effectiveness.
Here are the top 10 virtual games for team building (all of them are easy to implement on virtual games platforms).
1. Karaoke
It’s one of the easiest to set up online games for virtual teams and it is always great fun. Unlike an in-person games, the added advantage of being in their spaces helps participants let loose and enjoy themselves.
2. X vs O
The Khiladi team played “X vs O” at the year-end party. As the name suggests, all guest participants form a line, hear a question, and answer whether it is true or false by moving their avatars to “O” or “X”.
3. Mime game
A virtual office is an excellent space for a classic mime game. Just like in real life, all participants can divide into groups and join the circle. With the timer set up, teams compete in guessing movie, music, or book titles. We once had a team play a miming game during an onboarding session – it was a lot of fun!
4. Would you rather?
“Would you rather?” is another party classic that is as easy to host at an online games platform as it would be in a party room.
There are so many ways to approach it: from deep questions like “Would you rather press “Rewind” or “Pause” on your life to funny ones like “Would you rather squat or hop around on one leg for the rest of your life?”.
5. Climb the ladder
One of our favorites to play at virtual games is “Climb the ladder” where teams complete tasks to climb ladders – whoever reaches the top first, wins.
6. Scariest/Funniest, etc. Snapcam filter competition
Another way to encourage games attendees to express themselves and have fun together is to host a filter competition.
You can encourage guests to choose a filter that matches the theme of the games and vote for the one who did the best job. Together with the Khiladi Fan Community from Vietnam, we did this for Halloween, voting for the scariest party filter.
7. Themed Skribble
Skribble is one the simplest yet most entertaining fun virtual games ideas for breaking the ice within the group and making sure everyone is having a great time. You can easily host one at a virtual office and even customize it to fit the theme of the games (for an Khiladi Halloween party, our team had Skribble words written in bloody letters to spice up the game).
8. Scavenger hunt
In our experience, a virtual office is an excellent scavenger hunt playground. One of our clients – a marketing agency called PMAX – added the game to their games – users had to look for clues inside the space, take a screenshot, and upload it. A guest who collected all clues is the winner.
9. MBTI
These days, more people are getting into the Myers-Briggs personality typology – chances are, there are MBTI fans on your team as well.
Hosting MBTI-themed games will help games attendees get to know each other better and talk to people with compatible cognitive functions. Chances are, an MBTI game at your online games becomes the beginning of the next INTJ-ENFP couple.
10. Save the boat
“Save the boat” is a classic game for team building, as it encourages people to work together and be mindful of each other.
Also, it’s extremely easy to play at a virtual office – all it takes is a host telling people how many people should be on the team and guests following the instructions to “save the boat”.
