What are good virtual holiday party ideas for a remote team?
For a holiday theme, start with Virtual Escape Room: Saving Santa! Santa has been kidnapped, teams of 4 to 6 explore a virtual scene for the clues to a 4-digit escape code, and each team plays at a time that suits it, which helps when the team spans time zones. For a party everyone attends at once, pick a hosted game show: Virtual Best Corporate Feud, Virtual Jeoparody! or Virtual Trivia Blast! run 60 to 75 minutes with a live host keeping score, and Virtual Trivia Blast! has a holiday edition.
Virtual Office Party is built as the party itself: teams of 6 to 8 play browser-based mini-games with a Game Master for up to 500 people. For a story instead of a quiz, the Virtual Murder Mystery puts teams of six on a case for 90 minutes. Most games run in a browser alongside your video call, with no software to install.

Free Santa before the toymakers ruin the holidays.
Eight virtual holiday party ideas with a host
Each idea below is a program we run online, with the program page linked for the details.
A Santa rescue escape room
Greedy toymakers have hidden Santa to sabotage the North Pole Workshop. Teams solve puzzles and crack codes to find the escape code, then the scoreboard is shared.

Image and audio mini-games in teams of 6 to 8, with a Game Master for clues. Colleagues vote each other into categories like the traveler and the foodie.
Virtual Office Party60 to 75 minutesA survey game show
The survey rounds of a TV-style feud with an answer board, sound effects and a live host. Add up to five questions about your own company.
Virtual Best Corporate Feud60 to 75 minutesHoliday trivia on every phone
Players answer from their phones or tablets with no app, faster answers score more, and there is a holiday edition of the question set.
Virtual Trivia Blast!60 to 75 minutesA quiz with your own categories
Five categories a round and a live host. Everyone buzzes in from their own phone, and you can write categories about your company.
Virtual Jeoparody!60 to 75 minutesA music round for everyone

Virtual Name That Tune!60 to 75 minutesA mystery to solve together

Virtual Guess that Price60 to 75 minutes

How a hosted virtual holiday party works
Send the date, a rough headcount and the video platform you use: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex or your own.
We set up the game and send the link. Players join from a browser with nothing to download; headphones and a steady connection help.
On the day, the host welcomes the group, explains the scoring and forms the teams.
Teams play the rounds while the scoreboard updates live, and the host keeps the banter going.
The final scoreboard names the winners. For the escape rooms, teams play in their own time slots and the scoreboard is shared once every team has finished.
Planning around time zones and headcount
A remote team rarely shares one evening. The virtual escape rooms solve that: every team picks its own time slot, so an office in London and an office in Los Angeles play the same game at hours that suit each. Virtual Escape Room: New Year’s Eve Adventure works the same way for a New Year’s party.
Headcount rarely limits the choice. The escape rooms take any number of teams, the virtual game shows run for 30 to 1,000+, Virtual Office Party runs for up to 500 and the Virtual Murder Mystery for 20 to 300.

We enjoyed the Virtual Game Show format. We did Virtual Name That Tune and had a great time. Using Kahoot to arrange albums in the order in which they were released was really fun. College students from Adelphi University use Kahoot very frequently. We rated our Game Show Host a 5 out of 5 and would love to have another virtual Game Show.
