Fun Virtual Team Building Activities for a Remote Team

Virtual team building events have become popular among companies that want to create a strong team culture. They have been found to be more effective in bringing people together, starting meaningful conversations, and building a strong remote work culture. It can be hard to find an activity that will excite your team and include everyone - here are our top choices for events that can help you build a vibrant and diverse team.  

Virtual Team Pursuit

Virtual Team Pursuit is a strategic activity that is perfect for virtual teams. The game is about a team of explorers who are trying to find a treasure. The team has to work together and use their skills in order to solve puzzles and find these treasures. This game is designed to help virtual teams learn how to work together and develop trust with one another, as well as learn how they can leverage each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

Guess the workspace

“Guess a workspace” is a team building activity where players try to guess the creator or owner of a given workspace. The game is played by taking a photo of someone’s workspace and uploading it to the website. To start, ask your team to take photos of their remote workspaces and post them one after the other on Zoom or Slack channels. Whenever someone posts their workspace, the rest of the team is then tasked to guess the owner of that workspace. This activity can be used in the workplace as a way for remote employees to interact with each other while also giving them a glimpse into the personalities of their coworkers.

Virtual co-working

Virtual co-working is a new trend in the workplace and a way for remote employees to work together virtually. This type of arrangement allows your team to work on their own time, but with the support and accountability of others. It also allows them to get feedback and advice from other coworkers, which can be more beneficial in boosting their productivity and building a strong team culture.

Virtual trivia games

Trivia games are designed to test the players’ knowledge of general and specific subjects, often with the goal of answering as many questions as possible or solving puzzles. A trivia game can help you and your team learn about geography, history, science, or discover your coworkers’ expertise in categories like pop culture, movies, celebrities, and music, just to mention a few. Online trivia can be implemented in many ways for your remote team - for example, as a weekly or monthly activity. This is a great way to build a sense of community, improve communication, and help remote teams stay connected.
