Sneak Peek Preview. This game is great for virtual happy hours because no special equipment is involved; just a stable internet connection, a little strategy, and a whole lot of talking.
For the full rules, check out our list of online games for teams. Sneak It In follows a similar premise. Participants gain a point for every successful mention, but lose all points if found out. This game is also conducive to team play. When the game begins, teams split up into breakout rooms to discuss strategy. In regular charades, players mime an idea using only actions, no words.
Noisy charades flips the concept so that players can only use words, but no actions. Of course, the player cannot use the assigned word. To make the game more challenging, you can also ban adjacent words. Because human beings often rely on body language as a communication aid, describing concepts with only words can be deceptively hard. If you prefer traditional charades, you can use a random charades generator for your prompts.
Most Likely To is a simple game. To play, the leader poses a prompt, and the other participants respond by voting on which teammate is most likely to perform that action.
The player who collects the most votes each round must take a drink. If your team is not drinking that day, then have players perform a silly act like five jumping jacks. Pro tip : Encourage attendees to discuss the reasoning behind their choices to stir up some debate, especially if someone votes differently from the rest of the pack.

The Compliment Train is a fun way to encourage employee appreciation and recognition, and is effective because it happens at a peer level. Scavenger hunts can be a fun way to unite your people around a common cause. That cause it usually solving clues, and racing against time to beat the other teams.
For example, you could prompt your people to find a curling iron, a go-to breakfast item, or their favorite socks. Rinse and repeat until the fun dries up. Pro tip: Instead of gathering items like mugs and dictionaries, try to select items that have some personal affinity. For example, you could ask participants to grab their favorite mug, or the last book they read. These personal connections provide opportunity to share and make connections. For a successful hunt, you really just need a list of items and rules, so here is our resource with both: How to Run a Virtual Scavenger Hunt.

A staring contest often ends super quickly, so you should combine this idea with others on the list. Most folks have a useless talent or two, like wiggling ears or nose-whistling the Star-Spangled-Banner. However, they rarely get the chance to show these abilities off. A useless talent show puts these silly skills on display by having each participant share a pointless talent.
