Re: online work party ideas please


 

Among Us is all the craze at the moment. ?It is like Mafia, but keeps everyone more engaged than mafia would. ?People would have to install an app on their phones to be able to play, but it¡¯s all free. Can only play up to 10 people.

Jackbox games can be nice. ?It¡¯s a suite of party packs with different games, that are usually funny or entertaining. I personally love patently stupid in party pack 5, as it can get people out of our their a box a bit. ?Max players is 8, but most of them can have audience members. It is paid for the host, and you will need to use Zoom to share the primary screen. ?As a participant only have to go to be on zoom to watch the main screen and use your browser to head to the Jackbox website and install.

Recently we¡¯ve tried playing Catchphrase on zoom together. ?Instead of the machine, you have a host who runs it. ?Essentially separate folks into two teams (I usually have them rename themselves to have their order number and team letter). ?Then the host can use the catchphrase machine recorded on YouTube and play it as audio only, while using a random word generator and sending it to whoever is it.

We¡¯ve done other stuff like creating a Spotify list together, and playing guess who put this song in the list. ?We also give people the chance to talk about why that song matters to them today.

More physically, besides touch blue, we¡¯ve tried a game where everyone, but one person, sits and stays down. ?The person who is standing must sit down, and one person from the group must stand up to keep one person standing at all times. ?We¡¯ve used this as a way to train folks to be aware and responsive to collective energy and nonverbal communication over zoom.

Hope some of those help!

I love this question, Michelle!

Two suggestions, but I admittedly have limited experience with both:
  • PowerPoint karaoke (for example, )
  • Virtual Escape Rooms (a list )
Incredibly eager to hear what others suggest!

Hi facilitator friends,?

I'm tasked with an online work party for 1 hour next week.?

It's a group that works together a lot though from different organizations (a network?group). We are about 8 people.?

Do you have ideas for a FUN and perhaps also 'learning at times' experience. We can drink during the zoom Or other platform but that is not the focus :-)?

I would love for it to be NEW and INSPIRING and FUN for the gang.

Thanks for ideas in advance!?

Best,?
Michelle
