Team event games: quick games for meetings, offsites and socials
A good team event game is easy to explain, quick to play and fair to everyone. The games below run in the browser, so you can use them at an offsite, in a meeting room with phones, or on a call. Make a room, share the code, split into teams and play for ten to twenty minutes.
What to look for in an event game
- Quick to learn. If it needs a long explanation, people lose interest.
- Everyone plays at once. Nobody waits for a turn.
- Fair scoring. On Quick Break Games everyone gets the same board, and a team's score is the average of its members.
- Short rounds. A room round runs 60 to 120 seconds, so you can play several in a row.
