The pandemic has only accelerated the inevitable – many activities are moving to the virtual world. Some lament this, others see new opportunities and possibilities. It's easy to guess that we belong to the latter group, which is why we have some interesting ideas for online team-building events for you.
Who is this type of entertainment for?
- for small, medium and large companies and enterprises
What are the benefits of online team-building games?:
- they can be played regardless of the weather, unlike traditional team-building events organized outdoors,
- online integration events offer the opportunity for more people to participate than during games in the real world (especially in the real world where an uninvited guest – Mr. Demia – appears everywhere),
- points earned in the virtual dimension allow for the creation of a final ranking on an ongoing basis, which will allow for the comparison of the results of individual teams,
- Online team-building events are excellent brain training and a way to bond, combined with a touch of competition. This is a great option, especially for those who enjoy puzzles but don't necessarily want to run around the city, forest, or other places looking for them (especially when Mr. Demia is prowling the area ;)).
Our ideas for online team-building events
1/ Online escape room
The web is the limit… who said escape rooms are only for the real world? Online escape rooms are a brilliant way to spend time together, focused on team-building with a touch of competition. They make you feel like you're participating in an online game, only with a theme and story tailored to your company's profile or specific expectations. During the games, leaderboards and tables are created continuously, showing the times of individual teams and players, making it easy to determine the winners at the end.
Number of participants: from a few to a thousand+ people (divided into groups, of course)
Location: online access, any platform
Language: Polish and English
Duration: 60-75 minutes
Subject:
- in one of our virtual escape rooms you will feel the atmosphere of the Polish People's Republic, where you will play the role of a detective dealing with the case of the disappearance of Józef K.;
- in the second variant you will experience the thrill of becoming an agent saving the world from destruction peace of a military nature.
- Grinch: No Christmas? Oh, we're not into that kind of stuff! It turns out someone stole the pages from the December calendar and wants to ruin everyone's holiday plans, but that's what Santa's helpers are for, and they'll do everything they can to restore the holiday spirit and make sure everyone gets their presents ;).
As you might have guessed, the third room is a perfect game for holiday lovers. It's a brilliant alternative to traditional Christmas Eve company gatherings and a great way to team up during the holidays. All the tasks and puzzles are themed around the holidays. 4;

You can find more of our virtual escape rooms on the website zagadkowy.pl
2/ Online quizzes
This is our take on the famous Pub Quiz online. What exactly is the fun like? Participants connect to our broadcast and answer questions in groups (or individually) – each with the same question. Our host, who expertly asks questions and expects "definitive" answers, like Hubert Urbański, leads the entire event with humor. Thanks to a special system, we keep track of all the teams' results. Right after the last question, we can announce the rankings and virtually award the winners. It's a great way to spend time together and collaborate with a touch of competition.
Number of participants: from a few to over 1000 people
Location: online access, any platform
Language: Polish and English
Duration: approx. 1,5 hours
Topics: The quiz and the number of questions are determined on a case-by-case basis. We can prepare questions based on the famous Millionaires—i.e., general knowledge—as well as those directly related to a specific company or desired topic.
3/ Family fun online
Why are Indians cold? Because Columbus discovered them.... Hue, hue, hue... Who among us hasn't enjoyed the crackers served by Karol Strasburger during Sunday soup in Polish homes? Driven by a longing for the unique atmosphere of the famous Familiada, we propose an online team-building event in precisely this style!
We believe that in this case, the rules don't need explaining, but just to be clear – at any given moment, two teams are competing, and they can confer before answering. The highest points are awarded to the answers that were chosen most often by the respondents. This isn't so much a test of knowledge as of association. Fun is guaranteed! So, are you ready? More than one animal is... 😀 😉
Number of participants: from 6 to over 100 people (in groups of max. 16 people)
Location: online access, any platform
Duration: 45 to 90 minutes per game
Language: Polish and English
Topics: any – we can tailor the questions to a specific topic previously chosen by the participants or create a mishmash and surprise the players with a wide variety of questions.
*As part of the pre-game training, we recommend:
4/ Interview Gameplay
The Interview Game is a unique proposition for online team-building events, combining activities from the virtual and real worlds. On the first day, participants receive emails with their team assignments, instructions, and their first task. A few days earlier, one person from each team receives a package containing a locked box. The box contains information needed for the rest of the game. To open the box, participants will need to identify their team member and piece together the received code. We publish the tasks on a dedicated website so that each team can solve them at their own pace and access the box's contents. The contents constitute only part of the key. After combining the information from all the boxes, all groups create a shared password, thus achieving the game's goal. As you can easily imagine, the group's success depends entirely on the ability to cooperate and communicate effectively. This is a game guided by the motto: one for all, all for one!
Number of participants: from several to approximately 60 people
Location: online access, any platform
Language: Polish and English
Duration: several minutes for several days + finale of about an hour.
Theme: Once a year, intelligence agencies from around the world organize a competition to determine the best. Participants, divided into teams of several people, compete for the title of Best Intelligence Agency.
5/ CRIME SHOW – online game (investigation) with animators
Crime Show is a gathering full of intrigue, mystery, murder, and plenty of fun. And all without leaving home! We begin by dividing participants into investigative teams and introducing them to the story of what happened one evening at the Oakhill Hotel. Participants will receive information about the hotel and its occupants. They will then have time to interview suspects and search for clues in designated rooms. Each team will present their version of events, and all participants will use their testimony to decide who they believe committed the crime.
Number of participants: 15-100 people
Location: online access, Zoom platform, Teams
Language: Polish and English
Duration: 90-120 minutes
Subject: Crime. A pleasant and quiet weekend in an old hotel. What could possibly go wrong? A crime! Vernon's elderly uncle has been murdered. Who could have done it? And what was the motive? The murderer may be identified by interviewing witnesses.
6/ Turmoil in Smokovia– online investigation (with recordings)
This is an alternative to the Cirme Show (see above). Here, you'll also conduct an investigation, but instead of live actors, we have recorded interrogations. Participants, divided into investigative teams, will analyze case files, clues, and evidence to determine what really happened that fateful night. Participants receive access to a website with information about the investigation, video footage, notes, photos, and more.
Number of participants: 5-200 people
Location: online access, Zoom, Teams or other platform
Language: Polish (English in preparation)
Duration: 90-120 minutes
Theme: The starting point for the script is... the audacious theft of royal eggs (Fabergé naturals). The local police have identified suspects and established one thing: not everyone is telling the truth. Sherlock's less clever cousin needs help finding the culprit.
7/ Online teambuilding games
On a dedicated platform, we've prepared two online games for you, focused on cooperative play in groups of four. Investigate multi-million dollar frauds on Wall Street or embark on a mission to save Earth from an asteroid hurtling towards it! These games, tested by thousands of players, are offered thanks to our partnership with Hungarian company Flinkit! Read more about our partnership here.
Number of participants: 4-3000 people
Location: online access, Zoom, Teams or other platform

8/ Cooking on screen – workshops
It's long been known that eating and cooking together brings people closer and closer together. Is the joy of cooking possible if it doesn't happen exclusively in the real world? The popularity of various cooking shows proves that it does! And in this case, we're combining the virtual and real worlds in a unique way, where all participants will be able to feel like Robert Makłowicz and Magda Gessler combined! Hence our proposal for online cooking workshops.
Cooking together is a great opportunity for unconventional bonding. Participants will have time to chat between cooking sessions, and there will also be opportunities to chat and watch on webcams throughout the event. To enhance the bonding experience, a culinary quiz will be held during the workshop, with a prize for the person who scores the most points.
Number of participants: 30-50-100 people
Location: online access, Zoom platform, Teams
Duration: 180 minutes
All necessary products are delivered to participants' doors on the morning of the workshop.
9/ Relaxing wicker – workshops
Discover the fascinating world of wicker! Weaving is a great way to bond with your team and relax together, because while your hands are working, your mind is resting. Plus, after the workshop, you'll be able to enjoy a handmade wreath that will decorate your home for the holidays or make a lovely gift for a loved one.
During the workshop, participants will learn how to weave a flat Christmas tree approximately 40 centimeters tall or other wicker ornament to hang on a wall, door, window, fireplace, or anywhere they desire. Alternatively, we will weave several smaller trees. We will use natural materials – wicker and cotton string. The workshops include both basketry elements – involving the braiding of one or two materials – and macramé, the art of tying strings without tools.
Participants will receive all materials necessary to participate in the workshops in advance.
Number of participants: from 25 people
Location: online access, Zoom platform, Teams
Language: English and Polish
Duration: 120 minutes
10/ Handmade cards – workshops
Crafting together is another great way to bond and relax. Additionally, it creates a unique handmade product that can be given to a loved one. With the instructor's support, participants will make three cards, learning various decorating techniques. Then, using the methods they've learned, they can unleash their imagination and create a card based on their own design. All they need are their own scissors. All the necessary materials for making the cards will be delivered to participants in a package the day before.
Number of participants: from 15 people
Location: online access, Zoom platform, Teams
Language: English and Polish
Duration: 60-80 minutes
11/ Forest in a Jar – Workshops
Thanks to the workshops, each participant will create their own little forest to enjoy on long winter evenings. The instructor will teach participants not only how to create such a forest, but also how to nurture and care for it so that it remains beautiful and green for as long as possible.

Location: online access, Zoom platform, Teams
Language: English and Polish

Each participant will receive a jar and a package of ingredients needed to create a forest.

How do you do it? How long does it take? What do you need? Our expert will explain it all in this online workshop on natural cosmetics production!

13/ World of Whisky: An Introduction
This offer is an extraordinary journey through the world of whisky and another way to connect the virtual and real worlds. During the hour-long online meeting, combined with a tasting, participants will learn what whisky really is and where its incredible aromas come from. They will discover many secrets about its production and the types of barrels in which it is matured. The biggest myths surrounding whisky will be debunked.

Number of participants: from 15 people
Location: online access, Zoom platform, Teams
Duration: 60 minutes
The tasting will be led by a member of the Polish Sommeliers Association with many years of experience.
14/ The World of Wine: An Introduction
Can you tell me what wine you like? That's great! And can you specify why this particular wine and not another? Does wine really get better with age? Or perhaps the more expensive it is, the better? Where do sulfites come from in wine? Do screwcaps indicate a lower quality of this wonderful drink? How do you taste wine like a pro? In a restaurant, would you easily choose a wine to go with the dish your guests ordered? Do connoisseurs only drink dry wine? Is Chilean wine better than French wine? Or is Spanish wine the best?
You'll find answers to these and many other questions during a tasting led by Mariusz Wojciechowski, a member of the Polish Sommeliers Association. This tasting is a great way to begin your wine journey.
Each participant will receive a package consisting of 4 types of wine.
