Games for remote teams

Remote teams miss the small moments that build connection: a chat by the pantry, a shared lunch, a laugh in a meeting room. A well-run online game brings some of that back.

Why scavenger hunts work

A virtual scavenger hunt asks people to find everyday items at home and show them on camera. It gets people moving, sparks stories about their homes and families, and needs no special equipment.

Set clear rules

Explain the rules simply, set a time limit for each round and have a host who keeps the energy up. Small teams in breakout rooms help quieter colleagues join in.

Keep it inclusive

Choose items that everyone is likely to have, and avoid anything that asks people to reveal more of their home than they want to.
