I’m sure you don’t need another blog reminding you not to get drunk or hit on your coworker at the holiday party, so we won’t be sharing one of those this December. And with remote teams increasingly becoming the norm, virtual holiday parties are too.
I know what you’re thinking…and you’re right – “That sounds like a lame party.” And if you just plan to sit in front of a computer with a glass of wine, making awkward conversation, it certainly will be!
So we want to share some of these trending virtual party ideas that actually sound (dare I say) pretty cool!
Murder Mystery or Escape Room
These are always a crowd pleaser, even for the skeptics. And with a world gone virtual, many team building organizations have moved these challenges into the online space. Outback Team Building offers a great Murder Mystery party, with the option to host yourself, or hire a virtual host to make it a bit more interesting, and have everyone involved.
Musical Bingo
Good music and a little competitive edge? That sounds like a win! Vote on a genre, or theme, or just wing it, and test everyone’s “name that song” knowledge. With sites like Indeedy Bingo, you can have a complete live musical bingo experience hosted for you, with everything from the invites, bingo cards, and live song performances!
Paint Party
If you’ve ever partook in a Paint n’ Sip party, you know they can be a really fun way to socialize, compare projects, and actually get a decent piece of art out of the experience. Companies like Ryptic Team Building offer live instruction from one of their talented artists, and over 50 paintings to choose from.
The holidays are a great time to scale back and have a little fun. These are even great ideas for teams that are meeting in person! If you’ve used any of these ideas, or have other suggestions, please let us know in the comments, or share your memorable virtual party experiences.
Happy Holidays, from The Living Talent Company!
