Looking for virtual team building
activities for remote employees?
Escapely to the rescue! We host fun, seamless, and professional virtual team building events for groups of all shapes and sizes. Our online team building games have emerged as the most popular virtual team bonding events in the United States, and we now host events all over the world! We have hosted over 100,000 happy clients since June 2020, and that number grows daily.
Our virtual team building games are the perfect way for remote workers to bond and reconnect. Virtual games can be played from anywhere, but we also host many events for coworkers in the office together who are looking for a convenient, interactive, and cost-effective virtual team building option. We host work teams of ten employees, virtual retreats for large companies spread out in different locations, and virtual conferences for thousands of attendees all over the world. If you are unsure which activity is right for your group, schedule a meeting with one of our talented event planners and let our virtual team building services create the perfect virtual event for your team!
Because our clients love working with us and frequently come back asking for more, we are always innovating and adding to our offerings! In addition to our well-known virtual escape rooms, we now offer a fully hosted virtual murder mystery, virtual trivia, and virtual bingo. Our online team building company is growing and we now have several new and exciting events in the works. We even offer add-ons like a mixology class, wine tasting, chocolate tasting, and more.
Virtual Escape Rooms
Our virtual escape game is a puzzle-solving adventure that will challenge your team to collaborate and communicate. These fully hosted virtual team building events are played as a race amongst teams. We start the whole group together, then break out into small teams (don’t worry, we handle it all) that each have a personal moderator. The moderators show the teams everything they need to see - no need to open an attachment or download anything.
Our puzzles and themes are varied so that each participant is able to contribute something to the escape. Players brainstorm together via video chat while practicing leadership and communication and they must work together to escape. They solve puzzles together by drawing directly on their screen – we show them how. And of course, the best team builder of all is the "aha" moment when a team finally cracks the code to escape! At the end, we all come back together to announce the winners.
Virtual Murder Mysteries
Our virtual murder mystery is an immersive virtual team game in which participants try to solve a crime by interacting with live suspects in character. The players don’t need to memorize any information or play a role - leave that part to us! Participants will get to channel their inner investigator and interrogate the suspects to collect evidence and clues that will help them crack the case.
We divide large groups into small teams that rotate through the suspects, working together to ask the right questions and collect all of the facts. To win, a team must score the most points by correctly determining motives, alibis, lies, and of course, the killer. Our actors are incredible in character and you might be surprised how seriously your team takes this virtual team building activity! It really gets the competitive juices flowing.
Virtual Trivia
Our virtual trivia game is the perfect activity for your team to learn more about their coworkers than they ever could have imagined! The whole group will start together with a lively emcee who will get the competition started. Teams then break into small teams with a dedicated quizmaster to answer as many questions as they can, rapid-fire style. In between rounds, the whole group comes back together for score updates.
Teams rotate through six themed rounds that you get to choose, and it’s an opportunity for different employees to showcase the random knowledge they have collected over the years. The rounds are varied so that there’s something for everyone and when they don’t know the answer, they have to decide together whether to pass. We always hear teammates congratulate one another, surprised at how much their colleagues knew!
ADD ONS
For teams wanting something a little extra, we have physical kits we can ship for wine tastings, chocolate tastings, cocktail mixers, and more. These add-ons can be stand-alone team building activities for adults or can provide a fun warm-up to one of our virtual team building games. These hosted virtual team building events include a knowledgeable winemaker, chocolatier, or mixologist and a kit with everything you will need to indulge your senses!

Schedule a meeting with one of our incredible event planners to find out how we can help curate the perfect event for your team!
Event coordination
After you book your virtual team event, our virtual team building services include event coordinators who will see to every detail. We provide an optional invite you can send to attendees to get them excited about the event. We will help you decide whether to preset team assignments or randomize teams to help coworkers mingle with those they don’t work with daily. We will coordinate with your hosts to be sure the run of show matches your expectations, whether your CEO wants to speak briefly or attendees need time to introduce themselves. The details are different for each event, but whatever the specific needs, our virtual event coordinators have it handled. We will provide a game link to distribute to each participant and they do not need to prepare anything in advance – we explain everything once they arrive!
Game day
Participants join our online team building game through video conferencing, and we take it from there. To play our remote team building games, participants will not need to login to any other platform or download any attachments - we will show and tell them everything they need to see and hear! Once on the link, our enthusiastic and friendly emcees welcome your team, explain the rules and scoring, and get everyone excited to play. Our technical management handles all event execution in the background so that at the right moments, participants will be seamlessly moved in and out of breakout rooms. Note that Zoom provides the best experience, but we can run our virtual team building games over any platform of your choosing. If your event will be over Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Webex, we have different protocols in place to ensure a seamless experience as possible and our event coordinators will manage all of these!
Private Virtual Team Games For Any
Group Size
All Escapely virtual team building events are private events for your team only, whether you have a small team of 10 or fewer or a company-wide event for 5,000 people spread across a single day. Our online team building activities are specially designed to host groups of almost any size while maintaining the same level of personal attention and high moderator ratio - we simply scale our staffing to the size of the event. Our virtual games for large groups include many more moderators and hosts so that each small team has personal guidance at all times.
Our virtual events are completely guided and hosted experiences and our staff to participant ratio is unmatched by other virtual team building activities. No matter which virtual activity you choose, every participant will have an emcee, moderator, host, game master, quizmaster, or character actor with them at all times. To ensure maximal employee engagement and bonding, we divide out into small teams so that everyone gets an opportunity to contribute. The small team size helps to build team morale and ensures that everyone can participate. The intimate setting on the small teams also makes our games a perfect icebreaker activity for remote employees still getting to know each other, and an equally good bonding activity for remote employees who have been working together for years.
All of our virtual team building activities include time together as a large group as well as time broken out into smaller groups so that everyone has a chance to contribute and interact. The competition format allows us to host large groups that feel connected working on the same challenge, while still maintaining close personal interaction. Dividing your team into small groups allows teammates to connect on an intimate level, while the large group competition creates a team bonding experience for everyone. The friendly trash talking afterward is all part of the fun!

Virtual Team Building VS In-Person
Activities
When planning team building events in this day and age, many companies are leaning toward virtual activities over their in-person counterparts. There is certainly a time and place for both, but virtual team building activities are much easier and more accessible for your team. Even when a team is all in the office together or all in the same city, virtual events offer a convenient way to bond. There is no transportation time required, so virtual team events can fit into a shorter time frame such as a lunch break rather than requiring a half or a full day off work.
For companies with employees all over the world or virtual conferences with attendees in multiple time zones and countries, virtual team building activities are even more convenient. Because no travel is required, employees all over the world can participate! Instead of waiting for a company retreat to hold team building activities, and utilizing multiple days to fly employees to a common location, team building online allows coworkers all over the world to connect conveniently.
Virtual team building activities are also more cost effective than in-person activities. You do not need to book transportation for participants or reserve a physical venue. Staffing costs are also reduced as the staff running a virtual event do not need to travel to work. All of these cost savings are passed onto the client making virtual team building events a cost-effective option.
In many ways, virtual events provide even more face-to-face interaction with coworkers than in-person events. Over video conferencing, it’s easier to see all of the players on your team and seeing the shared materials right on everyone’s screen makes it easier to collaborate than hovering over the same materials in real life. Our virtual team building activities are built to require this type of interaction and provide an interactive and engaging space where everyone gets a chance to participate.
Virtual team building PROS:
Can be arranged on shorter notice
Fit into a shorter timeframe
Cost-effective
No transportation or venue reservations
Employees in different time zones all over the world can participate
Explore options not possible in the physical world

Benefits Of Virtual Team Events
Your company’s culture and morale depend on your team staying connected and building relationships. This is true whether employees are working remotely or are all in the office together! That’s where we come in. Escapely virtual team building activities help employees engage on a personal level because all of our events are specifically designed to require collaboration. Our virtual games are fun and immersive while also requiring critical thinking and teamwork.
One benefit to virtual team building activities is that virtual events allow companies to gather all together on a much larger scale than most in-person activities - whenever they want! We host virtual team events for fully-remote teams, hybrid teams, new hires, interns, teams all working together in an office, global teams, and everything in between. Teams of any size can come together to play the same virtual activity at the same time. Our group team building activities can host from 5-600 participants in a single session, and we can host 5,000 participants or more in a single day, all spread amongst events to accommodate individual time zones. This is something difficult to achieve with an in-person activity!
Virtual games for team building provide a safe environment for people to bond no matter where they are. These events are less likely to get canceled by external factors outside of the company’s control and our fun virtual team building events offer the same fun and bonding as an in-person team building event.
If your company has moved toward a remote working environment, you have probably found that team bonding that used to occur around the water cooler or at happy hours has now been relegated to virtual conference calls. Our virtual team builders come in to help foster relationships and communication amongst colleagues and departments. The virtual format is even more interactive as it allows everyone to see and talk with each other while they are working through challenges and bouncing ideas off one another.

How Can You Make Virtual Team Building
More Fun?
If you are looking to make your virtual team building activities more fun - let us help! Our virtual team games are like nothing else out there. They are fun, interactive, and engaging - and our hosts will keep you entertained from start to finish. Even better, Escapely's virtual team building services make planning a breeze.
All of our online team bonding games are designed around a competition format. We have found that this gets each participant invested, gets each team working together synergistically, and also provides a cohesive experience for the entire group because all teams are working toward the same goal! We always announce the winning teams at the end and the friendly trash talking that ensues is all part of the fun - your team will keep talking about it for days and weeks to come.
If you want to up the ante, many companies provide a prize for the winning team or teams. We have seen prizes like gift cards, themed gift baskets, company spirit points, and even bonus vacation time. However, a prize is certainly not necessary. Coworkers get so into the competitive spirit even without a prize on the line. Bragging rights are taken very seriously. If you have an extremely competitive bunch, we can even provide a thorough breakdown of each team’s points, time, penalties, and more.
For larger or global events with multiple sessions, we always recommend crowning a winner at each session. This keeps the fun-factor high at each individual session but also keeps employees engaged throughout the day or week as they wait to find out who won the entire virtual team game!
At Escapely, we are always innovating to stay on the cutting edge of fun. Because so many companies love the customer service we provide and the seamless run of show at our events, many come back to us asking what else we can provide. We have developed many additional virtual team building activities to meet the needs of our clients. We now offer virtual escape games, virtual murder mysteries, virtual trivia, virtual bingo, and add-ons like chocolate tastings, wine tastings, and cocktail mixers. We have several new events in development at the moment. I would recommend staying tuned to see what we dream up next!
