Virtual Office Party Ideas

If you cannot get all members of your team into a physical space to have fun, there’s no cause for alarm. Virtual parties are now an option and are here to stay.

However, with virtual parties, one must be very creative. Keeping the attention of people, and giving them a good experience is key. In physical parties you can engage people, chat or play board games, in virtual parties, these things can still be achieved just by a different method. 

If you are planning an office party, consider the following five (5) ideas to make it fun and exciting for every attendee.

Cocktail Shake-Up

Cocktail Shake-Up is a cheering drink time when all members of the team can mix up different drinks and cheer to a win or make more beautiful memories together and can celebrate together by learning how to mix up fancy drinks during Cocktail Shake-Up. 

Every member will receive a package full of ingredients and will be led by a guide through a tasty drink tutorial and drinking games. This is a great way for teams to have fun together and bond virtually.

Virtual Amazing Escape

Teammates can show their creativity and ability to solve problems via a virtual escape adventure game. There’s a mystery puzzle to be solved in the virtual escape game, featuring several themed rooms. There is a session facilitator who would give instructions before all the players go to their selected themed room. The game is designed to accommodate very large teams and is perfect for your office virtual hangout.

Netflix Series Party

You can select a Netflix favorite series and ask members to dress as any of their favorite characters. To make it more interesting, team members can keep their picks anonymous until the party day when it is revealed. You can also give rewards to the best-dressed team members who embodied their character looks and personality more accurately. 

Virtual Karaoke

Karaoke can be as much fun virtually as it is physically. A host can moderate the karaoke session and give the rules of the game. You can project a song list on your virtual meeting platform while participants choose what they would like to sing t as the lyrics are displayed on the screen.  

Online Talent Show

Every team member can showcase their unique talents virtually as everyone cheers on. You might have a painter, musician, comedian, or even a dancer come to perform. Because it is at the convenience of everyone’s home, it can even be more comfortable for people to participate.

There are so many other options for virtual office parties like a virtual puppet show, wine tasting, bingo game, etc. Just make sure that you get the right people to anchor the sessions so that everyone is carried along. Also, be sure to get everyone to participate so that everyone gets a feel of the fun.
