The virtual scavenger hunt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a classic, so we had to mention it. A scavenger hunt is a really good way to break the ice during a group call, and it actually gets people moving at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premise is simple &#8211; one person prepares a list of items that might reasonably be found in (or close to) a person\u2019s house and then calls each out in turn. Everybody else on the call must scramble to find each item, and be the first to return to their seat with it, to score the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to get a bit creative and send people a little further than just their kitchen or their living room. Could you ask for something that might only exist in their garden shed, such as a snow shovel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Truth or dare knockout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re willing to bet that you\u2019ve never played this game before, but it\u2019s really fun and all you need is a video conferencing platform like Zoom or Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a game of truth or dare knockout, everybody puts their cameras on, and one person takes the role of \u201cDare Master\u201d. This person then begins to challenge the rest of the group, either with dares which they must perform, or questions which they must (truthfully!) answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anybody who refuses, or fails, to complete a challenge, must switch their webcam off. This game continues until only one person remains &#8211; or until it\u2019s time for bed, depending on how stubbornly brave your players are feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Codenames<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Codenames is a classic game of communication, played between two rival teams. And while it was originally developed as a tabletop game, there are now plenty of places you can play for free online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a game of Codenames, each team will have a \u201cspymaster\u201d who will attempt to communicate secret words to their own team &#8211; while preventing the enemy team from cracking the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn the rules pretty quickly on Wikipedia: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Codenames_(board_game)#Rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Codenames_(board_game)#Rules<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, if you\u2019re ready to play? Get your friends or colleagues on a Zoom call, then <a href=\"https:\/\/codenames.game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set up a free game of Codenames here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/virtual-games.png\" alt=\"virtual games\" class=\"wp-image-1745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/virtual-games.png 1900w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/virtual-games-1024x294.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/virtual-games-768x221.png 768w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/virtual-games-1536x441.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Virtual escape room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Escape rooms soared in popularity over the last few years, as an excellent way to help teams, and groups of friends, to bond &#8211; while working together to solve a complex puzzle; or to beat another team. But when the pandemic hit, escape rooms couldn\u2019t continue to operate &#8211; at least not in the traditional sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But recently, a number of successful online escape rooms have popped up &#8211; which allow you and your friends or colleagues to get your puzzle-solving caps on, and have a couple of hours of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of these experiences cost money, but reviews tend to be pretty good. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapelive.co.uk\/online-escape-rooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Escape Live offers everything from Casino Heists to Prison Breaks<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The big bad imitation game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caution: This game can get pretty chaotic. <\/strong>So if you\u2019re not a fan of noise, confusion, and bouts of uncontrollable laughter, then move on to something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the big bad imitation game, all you need is a video conferencing platform like Zoom. Then, each player is assigned a different player\u2019s name &#8211; at which point, they must then try their best to imitate that person, for as long as it takes for somebody else to guess who they\u2019re trying to be. Of course, everybody is doing this all at once, which can make things very confusing &#8211; but also pretty fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of variants of this game &#8211; for example, you could win by guessing the most correct imposters; or you could simply score a point by identifying the person pretending to be you. But of course it always helps if everybody on the call knows each other at least enough to do a pretty bad imitation of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Defy death with a spoon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the name some people give to their own adaptations of popular card game \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/bigpotato.com\/gb\/games\/bucket-of-doom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bucket Of Doom<\/a>\u201d, which is a hilarious imagination game, where you and your friends attempt to survive various ridiculous situations, using relatively useless tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the group might draw a card which says \u201cyou\u2019ve just disturbed a nest of killer wasps, and now they\u2019re angry\u201d. Each person must then select an item from one of their own personal \u201cobject\u201d cards, and explain how they will use this item to escape the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if a player uses an object card which says \u201cspoon\u201d, they might explain that they intend to dig themselves a hole in the ground using their spoon, and cover themselves with dirt to evade the swarm of wasps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To play this office game online, you can simply prepare some wacky situations in advance, and then use a random word generator to determine the object cards players will have at their disposal &#8211; i.e. the \u201ctools\u201d they will be able to use to escape their various situations. To decide a winner for each scenario, put it to a vote &#8211; usually, it\u2019s either the funniest reply, or the most outlandish escape attempt, which ends up winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. The dream team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to \u201cdefy death with a spoon\u201d, a game of \u201cthe dream team\u201d involves imaginary scenarios, only this time you\u2019re trying to complete some sort of goal &#8211; such as robbing a bank, rescuing a hostage, or putting on a Broadway Musical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To complete your goal, you must make up your fantasy \u201cdream team\u201d, using other people from your team. For example, you might pick the safest driver as your getaway driver in a bank heist &#8211; or you might select your best sales person to be a hostage negotiator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This virtual office game is a great way of focusing on the skills and abilities of the different people in your group, while having a bit of fun along the way. The winner is the person who comes up with the best dream team selection and rationalization for each scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. The Werewolves of Miller\u2019s Hollow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Werewolves of Miller\u2019s Hollow is a mega game to play with a large group &#8211; partly because it caters well for up to 18 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this game, each player takes on a secret role &#8211; werewolf, or villager. And as each \u201cnight\u201d rolls by, the werewolves will secretly kill villagers &#8211; while during each \u201cday\u201d, players will argue and debate as to who they should lynch. It\u2019s a great game of trust, communication, trickery and imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordinarily a physical game that you play in person, <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamearena.com\/gamepanel?game=werewolves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there\u2019s a great adaptation that you can play for free online at Board Game Arena<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Survival of the wittiest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Howard Gardner was well known for proposing a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">theory of eight intelligences<\/a>. He suggested that beyond \u201cgeneral\u201d intelligence &#8211; i.e. the stuff that we test for in IQ examinations &#8211; people can develop specific types of intelligence throughout their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Stick with us here, we\u2019ll get to the game in a moment!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of intelligence are, in no particular order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Musical<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interpersonal (social)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intrapersonal (self)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linguistic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mathematical<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spacial<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kinesthetic (body movement)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural (nature)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no hard and fast way to play survival of the wittiest. But normally, players will pick an intelligence, and represent that intelligence as if they were stranded on a desert island. Players then discuss the scenario, along with a bunch of events that happen while on the island &#8211; either spontaneous, or pre-planned &#8211; and then have a series of voting rounds where one person gets \u201ckicked off\u201d the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each intelligence must make its case as to why it should remain, and which skills it can provide\u2026 and if you want to make this even more realistic, why not get participants to actually take a test to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.literacynet.org\/mi\/assessment\/findyourstrengths.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which of the eight intelligences is their strongest<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n<script>(function() {\n\twindow.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {\n\t\tlisteners: [],\n\t\tforms: {\n\t\t\ton: function(evt, cb) {\n\t\t\t\twindow.mc4wp.listeners.push(\n\t\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\t\tevent   : evt,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcallback: cb\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t);\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}\n})();\n<\/script><!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.11.1 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><form id=\"mc4wp-form-2\" class=\"mc4wp-form mc4wp-form-1253\" method=\"post\" data-id=\"1253\" data-name=\"\" ><div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\"><div class=\"blog-form blog-newsletter-form relative\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"form-fields\">\r\n<span class=\"form-legend\">SUBSCRIBE<\/span>\r\n<p>\r\n  Insight and strategic analysis on all things social recognition and employee engagement.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"mt-4 flex flex-col md:flex-row md:flex-wrap\">\r\n<div class=\"w-full mb-2 md:w-1\/2 px-1\">\r\n  <input class=\"w-full\" id=\"signup-name\" type=\"text\" name=\"NAME\" required placeholder=\"Name\" \/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"w-full mb-2 md:w-1\/2 px-1\">\r\n  <input class=\"w-full\" id=\"signup-email\" type=\"email\" name=\"EMAIL\" required placeholder=\"Email\" \/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n  \r\n<\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"mt-1 w-full text-center\">\r\n    <input type=\"submit\" value=\"SUBMIT\">\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"success-message mt-8 mb-8 hidden\">\r\n<span class=\"form-legend\">SUCCESS!<\/span>\r\n<h2>Thanks for subscribing!<\/h2>\r\n<p>Keep an eye out for our upcoming emails &#8211; we hope you find them insightful.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><label style=\"display: none !important;\">Leave this field empty if you&#8217;re human: <input type=\"text\" name=\"_mc4wp_honeypot\" value=\"\" tabindex=\"-1\" autocomplete=\"off\" \/><\/label><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_timestamp\" value=\"1775264132\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_form_id\" value=\"1253\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_form_element_id\" value=\"mc4wp-form-2\" \/><div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div><\/form><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin -->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. War of the Wizards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, so if you fancy getting down to some serious world-building, storytelling and role-playing fantasy action, then we can recommend a very interesting website called <a href=\"https:\/\/teambuilding.com\/events\/war-of-the-wizards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">War of the Wizards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This 90-minute fantasy role-playing game is designed specifically as a fun team-building exercise for employees to engage in remotely, and while it is not a free service, you\u2019ll be pleased to hear that each game includes your very own \u201cMaster of Wizardry Things\u201d &#8211; basically, a person who tells you what\u2019s going on, and what you\u2019re meant to be doing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gist of the game is that a group of wizards have been at war for decades, but none of them can remember why\u2026 and it\u2019s up to you and your colleagues to find a peaceful resolution. During the session, your group will exercise their skills of communication, problem solving and teamwork, to make important decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. The awkward storyteller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The awkward storyteller is one of the most lively social games we\u2019ve played, and it\u2019s a real blast. But while it\u2019s normally a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theawkwardstoryteller.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">physical card game that you play in real life<\/a>, it\u2019s actually really easy to adapt for a Zoom or a Teams call with friends or colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premise of the game is that each player takes turns at being the storyteller. They take a story prompt &#8211; either from the story card pile if you\u2019re playing the original game, or from the pool of story prompts that perhaps you\u2019ve prepared before the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The storyteller then reads this prompt out loud, which may be along the lines of: I have a terrible secret. And that\u2019s when the fun begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, turn by turn, each other player cross-examines the storyteller, asking questions about the story. Such as \u201cwhat is your secret?\u201d or \u201chow long have you been hiding this for?\u201d &#8211; and to make things even more interesting, they will throw random words at the storyteller along with their question, which the storyteller must use as part of their answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The storyteller must survive for as long as they can before failing to think of an answer, giving an answer that contradicts a previous answer, or simply running out of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Can\u2019t stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Can\u2019t Stop is a really simple \u201cpush your luck\u201d board game, in which players take turns at rolling dice, and trying to push counters as high up a \u201cmountain\u201d as they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can end your turn any time you like, and \u201csave\u201d your progress &#8211; but if you get too greedy, you risk slipping down the mountain and losing all progress you\u2019ve made this turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first player to get three climbers to the top of the mountain wins &#8211; and this game is great for playing online, because it\u2019s super easy to learn, and there are <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamearena.com\/gamepanel?game=cantstop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plenty of places where you can play it for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-virtual.png\" alt=\"office games virtual\" class=\"wp-image-1744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-virtual.png 1900w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-virtual-1024x294.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-virtual-768x221.png 768w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-virtual-1536x441.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Try not to laugh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another great game that just requires a bit of imagination. The goal is simple: Try not to laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s up to you how you do it. Take it in turns at sitting in the \u201chot chair\u201d, or just have a big old free for all. Silly faces, bad jokes, it\u2019s all guaranteed to come out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can set up a series of funny video clips, and watch them together. Last one standing wins the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-play-online.png\" alt=\"office games play online\" class=\"wp-image-1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-play-online.png 1900w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-play-online-1024x294.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-play-online-768x221.png 768w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-play-online-1536x441.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Pictionary (well, \u201cDrawasaurus\u201d)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember the classic game of pictionary? You know, the one where you draw a card, and draw whatever word is on it. Everybody else has to try and interpret your terrible drawing, and guess the word to score points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there are plenty of places to play Pictionary-style games online, and it\u2019s a ton of fun. One of our favorites has to be \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drawasaurus.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drawasaurus<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love Drawasaurus because it\u2019s free, it\u2019s super easy to set up, and it seems to have unlimited room for players &#8211; so far, we\u2019ve experimented with creating virtual rooms for 3 players through to 80 players, and it works like a charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Perudo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another classic tabletop game, Perudo &#8211; also known as \u201cDudo\u201d &#8211; is an old and very popular game played in South America. More specifically, Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a game of bluffing and pushing your luck. In a game of Perudo, players hide their dice under their cups, and then engage in a battle of nerve while they attempt to call out potential combinations of numbers &#8211; while never quite knowing the full picture of what players may be concealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Perudo seems like it probably shouldn\u2019t lend itself too well to the virtual world, it\u2019s actually pretty easy to play online &#8211; and there\u2019s a great digitalization of it over on Board Game Arena, which you can <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamearena.com\/gamepanel?game=dudo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">play for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Rock paper scissors showdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know the classic game of rock paper scissors. So why not host a full-blown tournament?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think that rock paper scissors is a simple game of luck, then you might want to try watching a few of the games take place during your Zoom tournament &#8211; you\u2019ll soon realize that some players are naturally better at it than others. After all, many believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/gb\/blog\/the-blame-game\/201504\/the-surprising-psychology-rock-paper-scissors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rock paper scissors has its very own unique psychology<\/a>, and there are many theories about how to use this to your advantage and win more games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tournament format is up to you. Round robin? Instant knockout? League table?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Would you rather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about digital conferencing and collaboration tools like Zoom, is they often have in-built polling features. This lets you quickly grab a lot of data in a short space of time. But as well as being useful for grabbing employee feedback on important matters, it\u2019s also a great way to have fun with a group of friends or colleagues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the instant polling feature, you can easily get a game of \u201cwould you rather\u201d on the go &#8211; where you put a question out to your group, often with two extreme or undesirable answers. For example, \u201cwould you rather walk across hot coals, or bath in ice cubes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game allows for lots of creativity, and you might even find out some interesting trends and statistics about your group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Real life guess who<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever played the classic game of Guess Who? You know the one &#8211; where you have a board with lots of faces, and through a process of elimination, you try to guess which character your opponent is thinking of?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real-life guess who is just like that game, except that instead of using little characters on a plastic board, you use real people on a Zoom call!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, this game is better when you have more people playing it &#8211; which is why we consider it a mega virtual office game for colleagues. There\u2019s no real headcount limit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a person is eliminated, instead of popping their little plastic picture down, you can just ask them to switch off their webcam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Charades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Charades is a timeless classic that you can play online just as easily as you can play in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You take turns to think of a book, movie, song, or TV series. And then, using only actions, you must try to help your teammates guess what you\u2019re acting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whoever guesses correctly gets to take the next turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">20. Murder mystery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple or Columbo, then no doubt you\u2019ve often fancied trying your hand at solving the crimes yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve played board games like 221b Baker Street. Or you may even have attended a murder mystery dinner evening with friends &#8211; where actors play a scene out around you, while you enjoy delicious food and try to piece together the clues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this sounds like something that\u2019s right up your street, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whdun.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Whodunnit<\/a> is a wonderful virtual murder mystery game for 7-21 players, which brings the thrill of detective work right to your living room. Just hook up with your friends or colleagues via Zoom, download the Whodunnit app for Android or IOS, and off you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">21. Spaceteam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve mentioned this one before, but it definitely needs a special mention in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spaceteam is probably the loudest, most panicked and hilarious game you can possibly play with friends on Zoom or Teams. All you need is the free <a href=\"https:\/\/spaceteam.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spaceteam app for Android or IOS<\/a>, and a way to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a game of Spaceteam, you and your colleagues work together to\u2026 well, it\u2019s not exactly clear at first. We think that you\u2019re meant to be flying a spaceship? But the trouble is, is your vehicle seems to be falling apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the catch: You\u2019ll find yourself receiving commands to fix things, which may or may not be in your control &#8211; and which may or may not make sense. Which means you\u2019ll find yourself amid a noisy flurry of phrases like \u201cincrease chemical quartz to 3\u201d, and \u201cfluff the pillow\u201d, in your desperate bid to complete your journey alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is to communicate as calmly and effectively as you can\u2026 but from the moment you play your first game, you\u2019ll see why that\u2019s not exactly easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">22. Monopoly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People tend to have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the classic board game \u201cMonopoly\u201d. But it\u2019s a classic for a reason\u2026 and now, there are plenty of ways you can enjoy this game virtually with friends or colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marmaladegamestudio.com\/games\/monopoly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marmalade Game Studio<\/a> offers Monopoly as a download for IOS or Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-can-play-virtually.png\" alt=\"office games can play virtually\" class=\"wp-image-1742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-can-play-virtually.png 1900w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-can-play-virtually-1024x294.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-can-play-virtually-768x221.png 768w, https:\/\/www.workstars.com\/recognition-and-engagement-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/office-games-can-play-virtually-1536x441.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">23. Mystery singer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Masked_Singer_(American_TV_series)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Masked Singer<\/a> is a popular TV show that first aired in 2019. The premise is that a singer performs to the audience, while wearing a costume to conceal their identity. Panelists must then attempt to work out who the masked singer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily play your own version of this game via Zoom or Teams, by simply asking everybody to select an anonymous alias, and then join the call without their webcams on. The selected mystery singer will perform for the rest of the group, who will then vote on who they think it is\u2026 Each mystery singer can then reveal themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game takes quite some confidence, but if you can build up the courage then it\u2019s totally worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">24. Spot the difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final virtual work game we\u2019d like to recommend for playing with colleagues or friends on Zoom or Teams, is a simple game of spot the difference. Except, it\u2019s not that simple\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, everybody switches their webcams on, and one person has a minute to study as many details as they possibly can. Then, everybody switches off their camera, and changes a single detail in their scenery &#8211; for example, adding or removing an ornament from a windowsill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Score a point for each difference you spot, and see who has the best eye for detail!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking for some in-office game inspiration?
