Quick Team Building Activities and Games For Work

Quick team building activities are cost–effective team events that run for a shorter amount of time than regular (or traditional) team building games. Durations can vary from 15-45 minutes, making them a flexible addition to meetings. These shorter team building activities are ideal for both remote and in-person teams. Quick team activities are often associated with budget team building activities and icebreaker games.

Yes, we’ve included some quick in-person team activities so you and your team can bond without having to watch the clock! Check out these shorter in-person team building activities below:

Yes! We prefer to use Zoom (here's why) but we can work with other platforms (here's how). Our quick team building activities are designed to work with conference software, offering you an interactive experience without taking up lots of time! We encourage teams to use Zoom in order to communicate clearly throughout the activity.

Find out more about how our virtual, hybrid and in-person team activities work below.

No matter which event delivery type you choose, teams will be briefed by one of our Remote Hosts then break off into smaller groups (or breakout rooms) to ensure maximum engagement. Don’t worry, we’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions ahead of the day.

In-Person
In-Person Team Building Activities are designed to physically bring everyone together to complete a series of challenges or tasks. Quick team building activities played in-person are designed for indoor spaces (your office, conference room or space of your choice.)

Virtual
Virtual Team Building Activities use many of the same elements as in-person team building activities, however, they’re designed to be played remotely. Teams are still divided into groups and complete a series of tasks or challenges that encourage engagement and fun, but the delivery of virtual team building activities means they can be played from anywhere.

Hybrid
Hybrid Team Building Activities offer a blended option that suits both in-person and remote teams, using gameplay that can be adapted to suit a wide variety of participants, both in and out of the office.

Yes! Our expert Remote Hosts will be on standby throughout the activity to support teams, encourage communication and provide a fun virtual wrap-up at the end of the activity. Watch this video to find out more about why we use Remote Hosts.

Sure! Our short team building activities are ideal for kick-starting meetings, senior strategy days, etc. We highly recommend our Icebreaker Games or Office Games.
