Holiday Team Building Activities & Group Events
Bring your team together this holiday season with activities that are fast, fun, and easy to run. Whether your group is in the office, fully remote, or a mix of both, our holiday events are designed to be flexible, engaging, and stress-free.
How to plan a holiday party that’s more than dinner and drinks
Dinner and drinks are fine, but they rarely get people talking beyond their own team. A hosted activity does. Here’s how to pick one in three steps.
1. Decide what the event is for
Is it a thank-you after a long year, a chance for new hires to meet everyone, or a straight celebration? A relaxed, chatty goal suits a quiz or a social. If your team likes to compete, go for an escape room or a scavenger hunt with a live leaderboard. And keep it inside work hours if you can, so it feels like a reward rather than one more thing on the calendar. If you haven’t set a budget or a date yet, our work holiday party ideas guide covers cost per person, group size and when to book.
2. Pick a format that fits where your people are
- Everyone in the office: Office Games Holiday Edition runs in the space you’ve already got, with holiday photo and video challenges on people’s own phones.
- Everyone remote: Escape: Holiday Edition puts teams of 4 to 6 into five festive rooms of riddles and codes, with a Remote Host on video, in 45 minutes.
- A mix of both: choose something built for individual devices and one shared leaderboard, like The Winter Games, so remote colleagues aren’t just watching the office party through a webcam.
- Out and about: Festive Explorer is a holiday scavenger hunt around any downtown that starts and finishes at your office, venue or restaurant.
3. Choose an activity people will actually join in
Trivia is the easiest win, especially on Zoom. In Trivia Challenge: Festive Edition, a Remote Host takes teams through 12 holiday rounds in 45 minutes, and it works on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. For a longer session with photo, video and audio challenges, Team Quiz: Holiday Social runs for 75 minutes. Hosted beats DIY here. Someone else runs the scoring and keeps things moving, so the organizer gets to play too. Once the season’s over, the rest of our team quizzes and trivia games run the same way all year.
Holiday team building in New York City
We run holiday team events across Manhattan and the surrounding areas for groups from 10 to 250+. Festive Explorer can start from your office or the restaurant you’ve booked for dinner, so the scavenger hunt leads straight into the party. If the weather turns, Office Games Holiday Edition and Escape: Holiday Edition run indoors in your own office or venue.

How much does holiday team building cost?
Our holiday activities start at $15 per person. Escape: Holiday Edition, Trivia Challenge: Festive Edition and Office Games Holiday Edition include the host, with a $300 minimum spend, so a team of 40 pays $600 plus tax. Activities that don’t include the host add $300 for a Remote Host or $750 for an Onsite Host, and onsite-hosted bookings have a $2,000 minimum spend. You’ll see the exact price for your group size on every activity page.
What are fun virtual holiday party ideas for a remote team?
Pick something hosted that everyone plays on their own device. Escape: Holiday Edition is a 45-minute virtual escape room with five festive rooms. Virtual Scavenger Hunt: Festive Edition mixes photo and video challenges with holiday trivia. Around the World: Festive Edition celebrates traditions from 18 countries, so it’s a good fit for global teams. They all run on Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, with a live Remote Host and one leaderboard.
What's a good holiday trivia game for a work party on Zoom?
Trivia Challenge: Festive Edition is built for it. A Remote Host runs the game over Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, splits everyone into teams of 4 to 6 in breakout rooms, and takes them through 12 holiday rounds in 45 minutes. Players answer on their own phones, so nobody’s squinting at a shared screen. It’s $15 per person with the host included and a $300 minimum, for up to 300 people. Want something longer? Team Quiz: Holiday Social adds photo, video and audio challenges over 75 minutes.
What are fun holiday party games for adults at the office?
Office Games Holiday Edition turns the office into the venue: teams of colleagues race through holiday photo and video challenges on their phones and climb a live leaderboard. It doesn’t need any kit or an extra room. For a quieter crowd, an in-person round of Escape: Holiday Edition or a holiday trivia session works well around the party itself. Classic extras like a white elephant swap or an ugly sweater contest won’t cost you much at all.
What are good corporate holiday party ideas beyond dinner and drinks?
Give people something to do together before the food arrives. A virtual or in-person escape room like Escape: Holiday Edition, a holiday scavenger hunt like Festive Explorer that finishes at the restaurant, or Office Games Holiday Edition in your own office all take 45 minutes to two hours. Teams get mixed up, there’s a winner to cheer, and dinner has something to talk about.
Which companies run holiday team building events in New York?
Wildgoose runs hosted holiday team events across Manhattan and the surrounding areas, for groups from 10 to 250+. Festive Explorer is a holiday scavenger hunt on your team’s own phones that starts and finishes at your office, venue or restaurant. If you’d rather stay indoors, Office Games Holiday Edition and Escape: Holiday Edition run in your own office. See team building in New York for routes and formats.
