Our Top 6 Tips for Successful Virtual Team Building Events & Activities
1. Select the right virtual activity
Our expert event team is here to provide personalised recommendations to help you select the perfect virtual team building activity for your group. With a wide range of options available, you’ll find something to suit every preference. For example, our Virtual Musical Bingo is great as a pure fun icebreaker where everyone plays against each other. Our app-based games such as Virtual Murder Mystery, Virtual Around the World and Virtual Escape Rooms are great for people to connect and collaborate in small teams. For something completely different, Virtual Cocktail Making is a top choice.
2. Create intrigue
Build excitement for your virtual team building activity by keeping the details a mystery. Share intriguing teasers about the event’s theme and hint at potential prizes without revealing the full activity. This element of suspense can spark conversations and anticipation, as participants eagerly discuss and speculate about what’s in store for the big day.
3. Consider events with packs sent to participants in advance
We have a variety of events that include kits sent to everyone in advance. These packs serve as a great gift and ensure that everyone has the same items to use during the virtual team building event, creating a shared experience. Our most popular virtual team building events that use packs include Virtual Wine Tasting, Virtual Wine and Cheese Tasting and Virtual Cooking Events.
4. Select the best day and time
Virtual team building activities can be scheduled at any time, 24/7, which is ideal for international teams. However, we’ve observed that Thursdays and Fridays around 4 PM are particularly popular. Many companies prefer these times as they offer a fun and engaging way to wrap up the workweek.
5. Don’t plan teams in advance
Instead of pre-assigning teams, it’s better to randomise them. Our events are designed to immediately engage participants, regardless of whether they know each other. One of the main goals of team building is to help people connect and get to know one another. Don’t worry, our virtual team building events foster new bonds and relationships just as effectively as in-person events.
6. Combine virtual team building with a team meeting or social
Virtual team building works great as a follow-up to any team meeting or social. We can easily open our virtual platform before the main activity or transition from your meeting platform to ours. After the event, we can keep the session live so that participants can stay on if they want to say a few words or continue socialising in an upbeat atmosphere.
