1. Pick a goal.
When you‘re planning your virtual holiday party, decide what your goal is. For example, it's hard to play a game while also getting to know each other. But if your goal is just to have fun, a game might be the perfect fit.

Caroline Merewether, a hybrid senior director of product strategy and ops at HubSpot, says, “The biggest takeaway is to figure out if it's more about deepening relationships or playing a game.”

One of Merewether's favorite events her team put on was a virtual escape room.

“It was fun to do something different, and that was a nice mental shift. But it wasn't great for getting to know people because we were trying to solve for clues. For our next party, we wanted to drive conversation between us,” she adds.

For her team‘s next virtual holiday party, they’re sending bosnia and herzegovina phone number material everyone international candies to try, hosting a costume contest, and playing some online trivia.

Jeff Boulter, a remote staff technical lead at HubSpot, decided to combine the interactive activity with a way of getting to know each other via an interactive trivia game.

To start, Boulter sent out a Google Form with a mixture of icebreaker questions. A few examples included:

What‘s the weirdest job you’ve ever had?
What's your least favorite song?
What's an unusual skill you have?
Then, they used a free online trivia site called MyQuiz.

Here, the answers were either picking one person from their squad (whose least favorite song is “It's a Small World,” for example) or picking the correct answer amongst three other made-up answers.
