Six Virtual Mini Game Ideas To Play With Your Team On Zoom

Zoom has become a popular way to connect with friends, family and coworkers over the last year or so, and many people still have weekly virtual get-togethers.  We love that people are staying connected with each other virtually, but Zoom happy hours can get a little repetitive after the ninth one. If you have a virtual hangout scheduled in the near future, consider switching it up by playing a game so that people can interact and connect over a new activity. Below, we share five fun minigames to play with friends or coworkers over Zoom.

See Who’s The Best Strategist By Playing Catan Virtually

Catan is a fun board game that involves strategy and negotiation. While this game was originally played in person, you can now play with coworkers, family and friends online, and all join in on the same game. Whether this is your first time playing or if you're a Catan master, you’ll have a good time playing this strategy game and it is a fun and unique way to connect virtually.

Test How Well You Can Read Your Coworkers’ Word Associations By Playing Virtual Code Names

Code Names is another fun board game that you can play virtually. The name of the game is to try to get your team to guess the secret word while only using one-word clues that are associated with the secret word. Think outside of the box and be creative in your word association to see if your team can answer more of the codenames than your rivals.

Play Our Virtual Family Feud Inspired Survey Says Game And See If Your Team Can Guess The Most Popular Answers

Everyone loves Family Feud, which is why one of our more popular minigames is our Survey Says game. Try to guess the most popular answers for a given topic and we will reveal the top answers that were collected by 100 participants. We’d love to run a Survey Says game for your group, or you can develop one by searching for questions and answers online.

Challenge Your Coworkers To A Word Puzzler Competition

Consider yourself a spelling bee champ?  Take it up a notch and challenge your coworkers, family or friends to a friendly spelling competition.  Our unique word puzzler has you form as many words as possible out of various letters shown on the screen.  However, watch out for misspelled words! Points will be lost if words aren’t correct so you can’t just make them up.   

Dive Into Virtual Pictionary To Test Your Team’s Ability To Draw Via Mouse

Very few people can draw well with just their mouse, which is why virtual Pictionary can be such a hoot. Skribbl is a virtual Pictionary-style game where you can connect to the same room with other parties so that you can all be in the same game. See who has the best digital drawing skills or who struggles to draw a simple line by playing Pictionary at your next virtual hangout.

Explore The Depths Of The Internet With Our Online Scavenger Hunt

And finally, if you love a good scavenger hunt, why not challenge yourself and your group to one of our online scavenger hunts? Put your search skills to use and see who can find the most answers to our fun and challenging online scavenger hunt. You can learn more about the virtual scavenger hunt on this page, but you should know that it is one of our most requested minigames for a reason!

So if you want to take your next get together up a notch, consider adding any of the above activities to the docket. Or better yet, contact the team at Bar None Games and let us run an event with all three of our minigames or full trivia contests for you!
