Virtual Office Christmas Party Games and Ideas

Virtual parties don’t have to differ too much from in-person gatherings. The most basic thing you’ll need is a virtual space to meet in: It’s simple enough to create a basic room in VR social apps like VRChat, Rec Room, or AltspaceVR or in meeting apps like MeetinVR, Mozilla Hubs, or Spatial. If you want to put in a bit more effort, you could create your own custom-designed party space, complete with festive decorations and falling snow.

One of the simplest and most well-received virtual office holiday party ideas is to mail gift boxes to all employees before the party that contains snacks and drinks to enjoy during the event. You could also turn the need for virtual avatars in VR into a costume contest, awarding prizes for the most festive avatar, the most creative avatar, the funniest avatar, and so forth. Of course, if you’re short on time for party prep, you could just have a simple get-together where people can socialize and perhaps play a few games.
