Why is Virtual Team Building important?
Virtual team building is the process of engaging remote teams in an online format to deepen bonds within the team.
Before we go on to talk about activities suitable for remote teams, it is important to highlight that there are many benefits of remote work practices.
-
From 2008 to 2014, the number of employees who said they couldn’t concentrate at their desk in an office increased by 16%, and the number of employees who couldn’t access quiet places to do focused work when working in an office went up by 13%.
-
Similarly, research has found that employees who worked from home reported “higher levels of job satisfaction and reduced levels of burnout and psychological stress.”
Hence, a lot of our team activities are focused on improving communication within your virtual meetings and helping them work together more effectively. Including of course our online icebreaker quiz game that was built specifically for this situation: QuizBreaker.com - we'll talk more about that later.
In remote teams, 65% of remote employees surveyed reported that they have never had a team building event or virtual event.
Now that you know the importance of successful team building activities in virtual teams, here are some of the best remote team building activities out there that will help your team bond.
Best Virtual Team Building Activities
Here are our favorite virtual team building activities. Ranging from online office games to online classes to virtual icebreaker activities you can do over Zoom. Enjoy!
1. Virtual Icebreaker Quizzes
-
Participants: 3 - 1000+
-
Duration: 2 to 10 minutes per round
Instructions
Forgive us for putting our own game as the #1 activity on this list. But, with thousands of teams all over the world playing QuizBreaker every day, we think it's a good suggestion!
One of the best ways for a remote team to bond, even if they’re located thousands of miles away from each other, is to ask them fun ice breaker questions and have everyone guess each other's answers in a quiz.
QuizBreaker makes this easy & automated with lots of gamification along the way.
How It Works
-
You create an account and invite your team to answer icebreaker questions. The platform has over 100 curated fun icebreaker questions included but you can also add in your own custom ones.
-
Once your team starts answering ice breaker questions automated quizzes can be sent out via email where players have to guess each other's answers. For example; "Was it Greg or Grace who said that their favorite TV series of all time is The Office?"
-
Points, badges & levels are unlocked through each consecutive round of the game. And you can schedule the quiz to be sent out on your chosen frequency; daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
There's also a weekly leaderboard for those folks who love a bit of friendly competition, and for managers who want to be able to measure engagement over time.

2. Virtual Escape Rooms
Online virtual escape rooms blew up in 2020 as it became impossible to visit the ones in the real world because of the pandemic.
One that we've tried and love ourselves is Modern Genius - in this one your team has to rescue a character based on Elon Musk from his own invention, there's a billion dollar reward on the table if you're successful.
In it, you and your team have to go through a series of rooms (it's a browser based game) and solve the puzzles in order to solve a mysterious murder and escape in time.
It's a good challenge and took our team about 70 minutes to complete over Zoom.
& Lost In The Arctic - this one is set in the artic, a research team down there sent a concerning voice memo about paranormal activity and then all contact was lost. You and your team have to head down there and figure out what happened - whilst staying alive!

3. Virtual Murder Mysteries
Virtual murder mysteries are a really fun and interactive virtual team building activity that works for all sorts of team sizes, here's a couple of our favourites:
The last think you want is a team building, night with friends, or family get-togethers that’s boring or predictable. If you’re looking for a murder mystery challenge that will add excitement and intrigue to your next event, “Blood, Gold, and a Night of Jazz” is the game you’re looking for.
The game follows the storyline of a murder committed in a tech mogul’s home and a group of unique characters on a mission to find out whodunnit.
The reason why we’ve placed this game first is because of how well designed it is. The players each have great backstories that are sure to give everyone a great time reenacting them.
The game play and guides help ensure that everyone knows how to play the game right even if it’s their first time.
The game is good for 4-14 players and comes with a set of visual guides and event paraphernalia to make sure your next murder mystery night will be a lot of fun!
“Blood, Gold, and a Night of Jazz” can work for both online and face-to-face settings.
10/10 star rating for us.
Click here to check out Blood, Gold & a Night of Jazz
Another one we enjoyed is Prom Nightmare
Murder mystery challenges should be a good mixture of suspense and fun. And that’s what players get with “Prom Night-mare.” We’ve heard many great stories about how this game rolls out in a Zoom party, team building, or get together. It’s a guaranteed way to have a few hours of fun, challenges, and thrill.
And for only $49 for a game that can accommodate up to fourteen players and be used several times? Call the police, because this one’s a steal! It also comes with great inclusions, like audio files, detective guides, template invitations, and many more. You can use them in virtual settings or even face-to-face ones. We would give “Prom Night-mare” four-and-a-half or even five stars for game play, fun, simplicity of design, and ease of use.

11. Whose Office Is It Anyway?
- Objective: Getting everyone to know each other
- Participants: However many you want!
- Duration: On-going
- Difficulty: Easy
- Materials: Electronic devices and a file-sharing tool
We love this activity because it is simple, but also a lot of fun.
It’s often hard to get to know each other in remote teams, so this allows people to find out a bit more about what each person is like.
Instructions
-
Ask each team member to take a picture of his or her ‘office’ and get them to upload it to a shareable file.
-
When taking the picture, encourage participants to leave their desk and working space as it is. This gives a true representation of them.
-
Then, get everyone else to try and guess who’s desk is who’s.
12. Bookclub
- Participants: 5 - 10
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
- Materials: Books… and a lot of them!
Who says you need to be a suburban housewife in order to enjoy a book club? Depending on your team’s interests it could just as easily be a movie club, a podcast club, or heck even a fight club!…or maybe not a fight club, because, y’know that first rule and all…
Our point is that there’s something about regularly meeting up with a group of people to discuss something that all of you enjoy. It’s a very ordinary activity but it allows everybody a chance to get together and talk about something other than work and, in turn, learn more about each other as individuals and grow closer as a result.
We also love this book club idea because it promotes regular communication within teams, which has been found to be the key to building trust and communication within remote teams.
Instructions
-
The instructions are really quite simple - ask people if they want to meet every month on lunch breaks to discuss the books they’ve been reading.
-
To organize your own book club, make sure that participation is voluntary and that everyone agrees on what book to read.
-
Nothing kills a fledgling club more than mandatory participation.
13. Online Catchphrase or Charades
- Objective: To improve team bonding
- Participants: 10 or less
- Duration: 30 to 40 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
- Materials: Virtual charades cards or a similar resource
‘Catchphrase’, also known as charades, is a family favorite. We love it because it’s fun and light-hearted, whilst still being professional. It’s a great way to get everyone up, get everyone involved, and to push them out of their comfort zone.
Instructions
-
Split your team in half to form two separate teams that will be competing against each other.
-
Decide on a theme (e.g., animals, films, etc).
-
Get everyone to join a video call.
-
Each team member gets a chance to act out a certain object, scene, or movement from them.
-
The first person to get it correct wins a point for their team.
-
Carry this on for a long as you want, and then count the points up at the end.
14. Virtual Bingo
- Objective: To promote team bonding
- Participants: 10 or less
- Duration: 15 to 20 minutes
- Difficulty: Medium
- Materials: Bingo cards (emailed to each player), questions and an electronic device
We can all admit, we love a game of bingo… even if it is for grannies! Sometimes in remote teams, it’s hard to feel like you know who you’re talking to on the other side of lengthy email discussions.
Virtual bingo is a fun and easy way to get everyone involved and realize what they have in common.
Instructions
-
Prior to the activity, create bingo cards or use this People-Bingo printable template.
-
Create a list of statements. For example, “has brown hair” or “works for the HR team”.
-
Call out the statements and team players then have to put a cross in the box if they share that quality with someone else.
-
The first player to get three in a row, and then the first to a full house, win.
15. Pin The Map
- Objective: Team Bonding & Get To Know One Another
- Participants: 5 - 10
- Duration: 10 to 30 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
- Materials: Paper, pens & internet.
Surprisingly, there is an abundance of research to suggest that cultural diversity in teams can sometimes act as a barrier.
So, based on this we feel that it is really important to get everyone acquainted so that individual culture doesn’t inhibit team performance.
Instructions
-
Help everyone gain a better understanding of where everyone is located by creating an interactive map of the world.
-
Start it off by asking everybody to demonstrate where they’re born and then ask them where they’re currently located by pinning a picture of themselves onto the map.
-
As time goes by, you can color in even more of the map by asking your team ice breaker questions like what their ideal holiday spot would be, the best place they’ve travelled to, or where their parents are from.
-
This simple team building activity is a great way to break the ice and to help employees learn a lot about each other.
16. Quirky Photo Challenges
- Objective: Team Bonding & Get To Know One Another
- Participants: 5 - 10
- Duration: 10 to 15 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, if that’s the case then we can learn way more about our colleagues with one good picture than we could with dozens of email exchanges. And that is why we love the photo challenge…
These types of team building activities are great because they’re simple and you can learn so much about another person through the photos they take. They also mean that quite literally anyone with a phone can join it.
Instructions
-
Again, the instructions are super simple. At the start of every week, create a new challenge. For example, one week the challenge could be ‘the best photo of a pet’ or the ‘nicest looking plant in their garden’.
-
To keep it relaxed and fun, set up a Slack channel just for this and start every week with a new photo challenge with anyone being able to post a photo anytime they want.
-
Add a little bit more motivation to the mix (if cute animal photos aren’t enough) by picking out the best photo at the end of the month and sending the winner a framed print of their picture. I did this last week and my photo of the beautiful harbour in my hometown of Sydney won :)
17. Remote icebreaker questions
We looooove ice breaker questions, our own game, QuizBreaker, is full of them! But, we've also got awesome blog posts listed below with hundreds of suggested questions you can use in your meetings.

19. Zoom team building game
If you're like us, you probably spent a lot of hours of Zoom these days. Here are some fun games you can play over Zoom with your team.
"Themed Work Weeks"
- Duration: 5 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
- Materials: Costumes
A theme week is a great stress reliever and a great opportunity to laugh with your team. The theme doesn’t have to be extravagant and can be as simple as wearing your favorite sports team jersey.
Instructions
-
Share the chosen theme for the week with your team, you can even create a poll to help decide on which theme you all want to do for your next conference call
-
Award the “best dressed” and have the winner choose the next theme!
20. Live Hosted Virtual Trivia
If your team loves trivia then they will love Trivvy.
How it works
Book in a session for your team and a professional trivia host will facilitate a live trivia game online. They have plenty of different categories to choose from.
We chose the 80's theme and had a blast.
21. Baby Photos
- Objective: To get everyone to know each other
- Participants: 5+
- Duration: 10 to 15 minutes
- Difficulty: Medium
- Materials: Baby photos of each team member (emailed to you prior)
We love this remote team ice breaker because it's an old tradition - remember in your yearbooks when you’d have baby photos posted? Or, on your 18th when your mum would make you an embarrassing collage of all your childhood photos?
We also love it because it’s super simple and super fun!
Note: this only works when team members know what each other looks like, thus, we suggest using it with slightly better-formed teams!
Instructions
-
Get every team member to send you a baby photo of themselves.
-
Create a word document with these photos in it.
-
Send it round on slack (or whatever channel you use) and get participants to guess who is who within a certain time limit (we suggest about 10 minutes).
-
Collect their answers and mark them. Give the winner a prize (e.g., some amazon vouchers or a food voucher).
Virtual Team Building Tools & Software
Here we've curated a list of the tools & apps that will help you do all of your virtual team building. Most of them come with free versions.
Video Conferencing Platforms
Zoom
Companies alike use Zoom for their daily meetings, and they offer free services. They also allow only audio calls for those who have slower internet connection or are still getting ready for the workday.
Additional features include screen sharing and call recordings. The only downsides to Zoom are that the free version only allows 40-minute calls at a time. They have experienced security issues, so we suggest using a video app with more security features if you are discussing highly private information.
Check-out Zoom here.
Jitsi Meet
Another great video calling app that allows full customization if needed. A great thing about Jitisi Meet it does not encourage users to download any desktop or mobile app. It is only accessed through your preferred web browser.
Jitsi Meet emphasizes on secure connections, and they do not run into security issues as often. They also have similar features to their competitors like screen sharing, video call recording, but they also allow you to stream Youtube videos straight from the app. Best of all, Jitsi is an entirely free platform, including all the features they provide.
Skype
Good ole Skype and want many like to call the OG video conferencing platform.
It is reliable and has been around for a long time. Their mobile version is excellent and is great for larger group size. Skype features include status updates, emojis, screen sharing, and video call recording. It is also a free platform for those needing to connect no matter where they are in the world.
Check-out Skype here.
Webex
Another major player in the video conferencing apps is Webex. It is easy to use, very secure, and great for calls, chats, and everything work-related.
Fantastic for any larger video conferences and great for enterprise companies. The downside is that the bigger the group using Webex, the more it costs. They have a free version but have a call time limit and the number of people who can join. Webex also has all the main features that will bring success to any virtual meeting, such as screen sharing, meeting recording and transcription, AI-powered meeting assistance, and much more.
Check-out Webex here.
Slack Apps
HeyTaco!
HeyTaco! is a fun and easy employee recognition platform. Its goal is to build stronger and happier teams through appreciation and positive commentary. The Hey Taco! team added gamification to maximize the fun, from leaderboard scores to achievement levels.

Donut
Donut helps remote teams connect with virtual coffee dates, e-learning workshops, and so much more.

Another excellent platform that emphasizes peer recognition while bringing a positive impact to our planet.

"Category"
- Objective: Quick Thinking
- Participants: 20 to 25
- Duration: 10 to 15 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
Looking for a quick game to start your team meeting, “Category” is a great one to try. It helps your team practice on the spot situations through a fun topic. The category you choose can be silly, like “Types of Shoes” or work-related topics such as “Company Goals.”
Instructions
- Pose a fun category to your team at the beginning of your meeting. For example, “Types of fruit.” Each team member has to state fruit, and no one can say the same answer.
If someone can’t think of an answer or repeats one, the game ends, and the loser needs to choose the next team meeting category.
"Shazam"

Music is a great bonding topic and a fun way to get to know each other. This activity will allow your team to practice their listening comprehension skills while listening to some great music. Like the Shazam application, your team will be put to the test, and you get to see who is the most knowledgeable in music.
Instructions

Come up with a list of 10-15 songs your team has bonded over.

During your next meeting, play one of the songs and see who can guess the artist and title first. The person who guesses the most correct answers is the winner!

- Participants: 4 to 15
- Duration: 10 to 20 minutes
- Difficulty: Medium
- Materials: None
Some remote teams play this once a week because they love it so much! We can either suggest playing this once a week, or you can use it now and then. Either way, we guarantee it’ll provide a great laugh.
Instructions
-
Give everyone a different list of 10 words (e.g., laughing, movie, dog, etc.)
-
Set the clock for one minute. The first participants begin by describing as many of their words as possible to everyone else, without saying the actual world
-
After 1 minute, the next participant goes.
-
Cannot say “sounds like” or “starts with.”
-
The winner is the person who had the most of their words correctly guessed.
"Joke of the Week"
- Objective: To laugh together
- Participants: 5 to 10
- Duration: 5 to 20 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
As well as saying a picture says a thousand words, they also say that laughter is the best medicine. So, similarly to the team building activity described above, we suggest sharing a joke of the week.
Similar to sharing pictures, we love this activity because it is simple, you can learn a lot about your employee’s sense of humor, and they involve everyone.
Instructions
-
At the start of every week, create a new challenge or theme for the joke. For example, jokes about animals or jokes about doctors. To keep it relaxed and fun, set up a Slack channel just for this and start every week with a new joke challenge.
-
Add a little bit more motivation to the mix by picking out the best joke at the end of the month and sending the winner a prize!
"Two Truths, One Lie"
- Objective: To get people to connect and understand each other
- Participants: 4 to 40
- Duration: 5 to 10 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
- Materials: None
We love two truths and a lie because it is a classic ice breaker game that can be used to get the conversation flowing and have some fun while you’re at it.
It’s also good because it involves video conferencing, which is the next best to face-to-face communication. Can read each other's body language and facial cues, which builds trust and connections between teams.
Instructions
-
The night before a video conference call, get all remote team members to write down two facts and one lie about themselves
-
Make sure these are personal anecdotes, not work-related things.
-
Once they have said them, everyone goes around and says which ones they think are the truths and what is the lie.
-

"Charity Donations"
Many remote teams face the risk of feeling strictly online teams and have no emotional connection or interaction. Often, remote teams will feel that once their laptop webpage is closed, the team doesn't exist, and it’s easy to forget about everyone else and your responsibility to them.
One way to remind your employees of your remote company’s real-world presence is to donate to a cause that matches your team’s values. Donating to a charity that represents your team’s values will make your team feel proud and like they are making a difference to the world.
Similarly, donating to a charity helps your team feel connected and personal - they are all working together to support the same cause.

For each suggestion, ensure that all participants have a similar understanding of every idea. If not, modify the idea until
it meets a mutual perception from everyone.
- Go through each suggested item and ask everyone how they would ensure that the idea is carried out throughout.
All ideas mutually agreed on as being "pleasant," and "meaningful" make up the group’s Code of Conduct. The group has the responsibility to uphold this code through their work environment.
