War of the Wizards is a unique and engaging virtual team building activity. The game is a live, facilitated, 90- minute event and includes mechanics of RPG games, escape rooms, puzzle solving, storytelling, and world building. A group of wizards have been at war for eons and none of them quite remembers why. Colleagues become the wizards’ minions, telling stories, solving puzzles, and completing challenges to earn “sparkle points,” cast spells, and do whatever it takes to bring a peaceful resolution to the war. This game is smart, fun, wildly different, and perfect for remote teams. https://warofthewizards.net/

Virtual Musical Chairs adapts the idea behind the in-person game to an online environment. Instead of trying to steal chairs before the music ends, the last participant left dancing when the music ends loses the round. To play, create a playlist with “dancey” tunes. Once everyone is in the online meeting room, start playing songs, pausing at random and phasing out the last player who is still dancing. As each participant is eliminated, ask them to turn off their camera to help keep track of who is still playing.
Virtual campfires for remote workers include stories, fun games, and s’mores. For s’mores, team members bring a piece of chocolate, mini marshmallows, graham crackers, a small candle, and a toothpick. Open up the meeting link and enjoy a cozy fireside chat with the team. Have some questions prepped, in case the conversation doesn’t flow on its own. There are digital fireplace or campfire videos that can be screen-shared during the campfire.
Viewing parties can be related to committees in the organization, such as diversity or wellness committees; for example, a documentary can be shared for Black History Month. Or, if preferred, a social viewing party can be hosted, with themes such as Halloween or other holidays. One team member can share their screen or there are many online resources for shared streaming with various apps.
Typing Speed Races are a fun engaging activity for anyone that likes to chat instead of talk via Zoom (or any other video call platform). As the host, prep a list of words that range in easy-to-hard difficulty. Once everyone is ready, call out each word and have players type it as fast as they can into the chat. The person that types the word correctly first wins a point.
