What are Team Building Games?
A Team Building Game is a happy hour activity where your employees can participate and compete in a series of games. Most game shows ask questions from the participants or prepare puzzles for players to solve. Game shows typically have segments called ‘rounds’. These are mostly ‘easy’, ‘medium’, and ‘difficult’. There may even be an elimination round until a winner is declared.
How do you choose your Virtual Game on Zoom?
Virtual game shows are a great get-together event for your team. Here’s how you can make that happen:
- Choose the games you want to play
- Choose a theme for the game show
- Create a committee and delegate your tasks
- Select your video chat platform (ex. Zoom)
- Set a time and date for the actual event
- Send invites and teasers
- Pre-assign players for each game (optional)
- Do a technical run before the actual event
- Bring the game show to life
What are some good remote game ideas?
The beauty of games shows is that you can have teams or individuals as players in a variety of games. Here are some ideas:

What are the benefits of virtual trivia?
Virtual trivia is one of the easiest ways you can do to increase social time and bonding for your team. Aside from the opportunity to get together outside of work, you’ll also enjoy picking your team’s brain. It definitely wouldn’t make us smart overnight but trivia questions do good things to your memory as you try to dig information you otherwise would’ve stored at the back of your head for a long time.
How do you make virtual trivia fun?
Here are some ideas for that fun virtual trivia night:
- Choose a theme: It may be extra but it’s another chance for your team to dress up and be creative. Ask them to turn on their videos for this one.
- Create your questions. If you’re going with a theme, you can align it to that. If not, you can source out questions depending on your audience.
- Send an invite. Include the time and date, the video platform like Zoom, and what to prepare (if applicable).
- Send teasers. Build up their excitement. In my experience, I find that sending countdowns create a feeling for employees to look forward to.
- Choose a host. A fun and engaging host makes a difference in all social events. You can get one in-house.
- Go live. It’s the day you’ve all been waiting for. Have fun and get some laughs.
What are virtual murder mystery games?
Similar to virtual escape rooms, virtual murder mystery games invite your team to put on the detective hat and solve a murder story. They are oriented with the murder plot and laid out with the characters that they will have to portray. Aside from problem-solving and mental thinking skills, there’s also role-playing. Lastly, your team gets to share a unique experience aside from the usual team-building exercises.
How do you play virtual murder mystery games?
Murder mystery games are a unique experience for everyone as each of your team gets to play a part in solving a problem. Here is a guide on how to play this game:

Much like virtual trivia, Jeopardy is a game where players choose a category in a game board and answer questions based on the game board tile they’ve chosen. It’s a popular choice when it comes to game shows. Like the televised version, jeopardy questions become more and more challenging as the game advances. A scoreboard is maintained and players get eliminated one round at a time until someone wins.
