If you’re looking for fun and engaging games to play on Zoom with coworkers that are free, here are several great options:
1. Trivia Quiz
You can create a custom trivia quiz using free tools like Google Forms or Kahoot. Divide the team into groups, and each person answers questions one by one. The team with the most correct answers wins.
2. Pictionary
Pictionary is a classic drawing and guessing game. Use a free online tool like Skribbl.io or draw directly on Zoom’s whiteboard feature. You can create custom word lists for more fun.
3. Charades
Charades is a simple game where players act out a word or phrase without speaking while others guess. You can use a random charades word generator or create your own list.
4. Two Truths and a Lie
Each person shares three statements about themselves—two truths and one lie. Others have to guess which statement is the lie. This is a fun icebreaker game, especially for new teams.
5. Would You Rather?
Ask each person a “Would you rather?” question. The answers can be funny, thought-provoking, or weird—this game encourages people to think on their feet and sparks conversation.
6. Bingo
Create a Bingo card related to your work environment or your coworkers (e.g., someone takes a long coffee break, someone says “circle back,” etc.). There are many free bingo card generators online that you can use.
7. Scattergories
Using a free online Scattergories generator, assign each participant a category (e.g., animals, foods, famous people). Everyone must come up with answers that fit each category, but they can’t repeat answers already said.
8. Online Escape Room
While many escape rooms are paid, there are free versions available. Teams can work together to solve puzzles and escape a virtual room within a set time limit.
9. Zoom Karaoke
You don’t need any fancy tools to enjoy karaoke! Simply share your screen with the lyrics and sing along, or use a free online karaoke tool. It’s a fun and lighthearted game that will get everyone laughing.
10. Guess the Emoji
Have one person send a series of emojis that represent a movie, book, or TV show. The others take turns guessing what it is. It’s a fun way to test creativity and have a few laughs.
These games can be easily adapted to fit your team’s preferences and are simple to set up, making them perfect for a Zoom meeting.
