Key takeaway Discover how team building games improve company events, what features to look for, and how to use tools like Quizado to boost teamwork and engagement.

Virtual team building games are essential for company events, workshops, and team get-togethers. But how do you choose the right one? Should it be fun, educational—or both? Find out everything you need to know in this guide.

What are team building games?

Team building games are designed to strengthen bonds between employees. Their main goal is to eliminate communication barriers, encourage cooperation, and build trust among participants. They’re perfect for situations where a group doesn’t know each other well yet.

You’ll find team building games widely used not just in the workplace, but also at training workshops, schools, family gatherings, wedding parties, and reunions.

Why team building games matter for companies

In the workplace, team building games help:

• Create a more welcoming environment
• Encourage creative thinking
• Build friendships between coworkers
• Strengthen team bonds
• Teach cooperation under pressure
• Help individuals discover their ideal roles
• Develop clear, constructive communication

Choosing the right team building game matters. It should meet both leadership goals and the team’s real needs—and deliver a mix of fun and meaningful learning.

What makes a great team building game?

Not every game will fit every team. The best team building games share a few key features:

They involve everyone

The best games pull everyone in—whether cooperative or competitive.
Roles can reflect real-life positions, swap around for fresh perspectives, or flip traditional dynamics (imagine the intern leading the CEO in a quiz round).

Tip: Role reversal is powerful. It helps people experience other viewpoints and build better communication.

They introduce friendly competition

A little competition can motivate teams and make the experience more satisfying—regardless of who wins. The key is healthy competition that rewards skills, knowledge, and creativity.

They promote real collaboration

Group challenges force teams to divide roles, find compromises, and problem-solve together—skills they’ll use long after the game ends.

They tie into a common theme

Games feel more personal when they connect to shared experiences.
For example, you could base questions around company history at a corporate event, or shared memories at a graduation reunion.

When to use a team building game

You can use team building games in so many settings, including:

• Onboarding new team members
• Training workshops
• Midday breaks to reset energy
• Company retreats
• Big annual events and celebrations

Anywhere you want to strengthen relationships and keep the team spirit alive.

Why Quizado is perfect for company events

Looking for a game that's both easy to use and genuinely effective?
Quizado is designed exactly for that. It’s customizable, fun, and ideal for bringing teams together at any kind of event.

How Quizado works

Quizado plays like Family Feud.
The host runs the game, teams answer survey-style questions, and points are awarded for the most popular answers.

The game has two screens: one for the host (to control questions and answers) and one for participants (to view questions, scores, and responses).

Show it on the big screen

Quizado can connect wirelessly to TVs or projectors using AirPlay, Chromecast, or a simple cable.
You can even use your phone as a remote while the main display runs on a larger screen.

Create your own custom questions

Make your game fully personal by adding your own questions and answers—perfect for quizzing employees about company history, future projects, or fun trivia about the team.
