However, team building can still thrive\u2014even if your team rarely meets in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaging in virtual team-building activities is a fantastic way to build relationships in a remote work environment. These activities help bridge the distance, allowing colleagues to work together and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s our list of 30 virtual team-building activities and games to try in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Virtual team building activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Virtual cinema screening<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring everyone together with a good film and organise a virtual screening for your team. Make sure you provide snack boxes or gift cards so people can procure their own movie snacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Online escape room<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Escape rooms are a staple of corporate team building\u2014and yes, they can be done remotely. Challenge your team with games from providers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapelive.co.uk\/online-escape-rooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Escape Live<\/a> and watch how they collaborate and communicate to solve the mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Karaoke<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Karaoke isn\u2019t for everyone, but if you have a team that loves to belt a tune, virtual karaoke can be a lot of fun. <a href=\"http:\/\/karaoke.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karaoke.co.uk<\/a> provides wide libraries of songs for your team to take turns being a diva over a video meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scavenger hunt<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A virtual scavenger hunt can be as simple or complex as you like. Create a trail of clues on Slack or Teams, or ask participants to quickly find specific objects in their home\u2014like something green, the biggest book, or the most unusual ornament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Who does this sound like?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple game that can really help with getting to know your colleagues. Ask everyone to choose a few pieces of their favourite music, then play them for the team over a video meeting. They have to guess who chose the music, either just in the chat or use an online voting tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Guess who&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A variation of the music game, but with images\u2014either random internet photos or personal snaps like holiday pictures or Instagram posts. The team then guesses who the image is linked to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Virtual cheese tasting&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love free food? Organise an at-home cheese-tasting session with a provider like <a href=\"https:\/\/paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk\/collections\/online-cheese-tasting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paxton &amp; Whitfield<\/a> who supply artisan cheeses and host virtual tastings with expert cheesemongers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"8\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Online crafternooning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a couple of hours out of the afternoon to be creative and make something has all sorts of benefits, and can be a very fun group activity. If making this happen in person isn\u2019t practical, just send materials around to everyone in the team and get on a video meeting to try creating something together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"9\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Play co-op games<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This one might be more specific to teams that like to videogame, but there are lots of great co-op games available on platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>. If you have people in your team that already play games, providing a co-op game is a great way to get them to take on a challenge and have fun together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"10\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Solve a murder mystery&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing brings people together like a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotoevents.co.uk\/virtual-murder-mystery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">murder mystery<\/a>. Get your team working together to solve it with a live host and immersive storytelling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"11\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create a life map&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Get to know your colleagues on a deeper level with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sessionlab.com\/methods\/life-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">life map<\/a>, a great activity for breaking the ice with a new team or strengthening the bonds of a familiar team. It\u2019s all about sharing stories and experiences and getting a sense of where people have come from on their life journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"12\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Virtual introductions with Lunch Roulette<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunch roulette is a Slack extension that automatically connects team members so they can have a casual chat over coffee or lunch. It\u2019s a great way to introduce people from different teams in a larger business, or for breaking the ice with new team members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"13\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Virtual TED talks&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting together to watch and discuss a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TED talk<\/a> is a great activity, but it\u2019s even better to get your team to do their own. Put aside some time each week for one person to give a short presentation on anything they like, whether that\u2019s a new hobby they\u2019re trying, a cause they\u2019re passionate about, or a project they\u2019ve done. It\u2019s a great way for people to express their interests and learn about each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"14\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Articulate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumondpark.co.uk\/articulate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Articulate<\/a> is a spectacular game at any time, but it also works well for virtual team fun. You don\u2019t even need the actual game, though it can be useful. Simply provide words for each team and keep time while they try to describe them. As well as being very fun, it\u2019s also a good lesson in communication\u2014always valuable in the workplace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"15\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Virtual fitness classes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not everyone\u2019s favourite activity, but doing a virtual fitness class together can boost team relationships and wellbeing. Pick an online class, such as from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.better.org.uk\/what-we-offer\/activities\/exercise-at-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Better.org.uk <\/a>and get it in the diary as a weekly activity. Or you could even lead your own sessions, maybe doing breathing exercises or meditation, or anything to give your team a break from the usual routine of sitting at their desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"16\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Non-book book club<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A spin on the usual book club, get together to discuss a TV show, film, or game. You could set the goal of watching a specific genre or director, encouraging people to explore things they might not normally watch, play, or listen to. Even better if you can provide people with copies of the movie or streaming subscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"17\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>MTV Cribs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Give the team a chance to learn more about each other with a virtual house tour. Naturally, this doesn\u2019t need to include every nook and cranny of your home, but you can show off interesting objects, art, books &#8211; anything that gives more of an insight into what makes you tick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"18\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Show and tell&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If a house tour feels a bit daunting, a show and tell session is an easier way to get a window into our colleagues\u2019 lives. Take turns to talk for a few minutes on an interesting object from your home, whether that\u2019s something that has a lot of meaning or just something you love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"19\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make a team mix tape (playlist)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a playlist that your team can each add a piece of music to, then everyone can listen and learn something about their colleagues. You could make it a weekly event where each person submits something new and why they think everyone should listen to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"20\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Take part in a game show<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing brings a team together quite like competing on a game show. But you don\u2019t need to get on the telly when you can play something like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventurous.co.uk\/virtual-team-building\/virtual-gameshow-mania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gameshow Mania<\/a>. Featuring a mashup of some of the UK\u2019s best-loved TV quizzes and games<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"21\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Break the ice with new colleagues<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual ice breaker games are quick, fun activities that help remote teams connect and feel more comfortable. They encourage participation, spark conversation, and build team rapport\u2014making online meetings more engaging and personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"22\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do something for charity&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Organising a fundraising activity to support a charity is a powerful and worthwhile thing for a workplace team to do. We can\u2019t always do a job that feels like it\u2019s having a positive impact on the world outside, so creating a way for people to do this at work can really boost morale and engagement, as well as do real good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"23\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scavenger hunt&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scouts.org.uk\/activities\/virtual-scavenger-hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virtual scavenger hunt<\/a>s turn your home into a game board as you race to find quirky items\u2014like your weirdest mug or something that makes you smile. They\u2019re fast, fun, and a great way to get everyone laughing, moving, and bonding during virtual meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"24\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Explore the jungle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockitfish.co.uk\/virtual-team-activity-Virtual-survival.80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virtual survival games<\/a> throw your team into wild, fictional adventures\u2014think escaping a desert island or outsmarting zombies\u2014without ever leaving your desk. It\u2019s all about quick thinking, teamwork, and a bit of chaos, making them a thrilling and hilarious way to bond and break up the usual virtual meeting routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"25\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wine tasting&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kdmevents.co.uk\/team-building-activities\/virtual-wine-tasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virtual wine tastings<\/a> bring the vineyard to your living room, letting you sip, swirl, and savor with friends or coworkers from afar. Guided by an expert (or your most confident wine-loving teammate), you\u2019ll explore new flavors, share laughs, and maybe even pretend you can taste those \u201cnotes of oak and blackberry.\u201d It\u2019s a classy, cozy, and delightfully tipsy way to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"26\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Learn to make cocktails<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Test out your mixology skills and whip up some cocktails at home with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventurous.co.uk\/virtual-team-building\/virtual-cocktail-making\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual cocktail-making<\/a> class. You don\u2019t even have to BYOB as the ingredients are provided and the class is guided by an expert mixologist. It could be a great Friday afternoon team activity to celebrate the end of the week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"27\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bucket list<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A great discussion starter is getting your team to share their bucket lists. This can be as much or as little as they want to share, with things like holiday destinations, adrenaline activities or their wildest dreams of becoming a West End star. It&#8217;s perfect for helping colleagues get to know each other&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"28\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>GeoGuessr<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Test your geography skills in a fun way with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoguessr.com\/organizations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GeoGuessr<\/a>.
