Still, if you want your team members to get into some spirits, you can host funny quizzes related to each other. You can ask questions about your employees; like their favorite color, what they like to do in their free time and things like these. Moreover, you can also host fun quizzes like ‘two truths and a lie’. It won’t only help you have a nice and fun time with your teammates but also enable you to know each other better.

You can divide your teammates into teams so that it helps them know each other better. If you think it would be less fun in a remote setting, don’t worry.

Virtual escape rooms are as fun and entertaining as their physical counterparts. All the rules are the same, and the attendees have to complete the challenges within the time constraint. Since this game is generally played in teams, it can help you boost team spirit among the team members. 

Scattergories:

Now, the organizer will show the bingo sheets and will give some time to the attendees to match the names with the cards. Similarly, like a real bingo, the one who matches the names fastest and yells ‘bingo’ wins the game. We suggest you use an online conference platform for the game; it will help you execute it smoothly.
