I lead a small team (~8 people) that is geographically dispersed. We are looking to do a fun virtual team event, as there is no budget for travel. Any ideas on what we can do that is not a Zoom team lunch?

Imma keep it 100 with you chief. If I was in your team and you wanna do those team building/team events. I’m going to hate you. If you’re not giving me free food, don’t ask me to do any team building. Imma work, hop off and see you tomorrow (im very antisocial unless I have to talk)

Mandatory fun is usually never fun. Send them a gift card and don’t take their time. Unless you’re organizing a week everyone goes to Disneyland with their families 😂

Schedule a 6 hour virtual team event between 10 am - 4 pm, then instruct everyone to turn off their cameras, go on mute, then go do whatever they want for the next 6 hours that isn’t a forced boring virtual activity that will make everyone cringe

Best kinda happy hour

How about instead of team lunch, lunch making workshop? Pick a meal, list required ingredients, and instructions. Or virtual trivia.

Do a virtual escape room, there are a few options (websites) where you can do them. The last startup where i interned, they did one just before i was left.

Essentially, you all sign-in into the website (details and link for online call for discussing the clues and riddles etc are provided after you buy your “escape room package”) while you talk/discuss via call itself. All in all, it is much MUCH fun than a boring zoom lunch. You get to solve some fantasy clues together and get some laughs in there as well.

Letting your team expense lunch and then spend the hour doing a virtual game (among us, fishbowl (which is a game, not this app), poker, Pictionary, etc.) can be fun. No one wants to do virtual things after work hours and everyone likes free food
