17 Team Building Games Your Crew Will Actually Enjoy
Team building gets a bad rap. Say the words and half the team’s already plotting their escape. But with the right activity, you’ll turn eye-rolls into laughs and awkward silences into solid crew vibes.
The best games get people moving, talking, and actually having fun. No pressure. No weird group tasks. Just connection, celebration, and a few surprises along the way.
We’ve lined up 17 team building ideas that actually deliver. From office legends to remote heroes and every crew in between, this one's got your name on it.
Fire up the group chat. It’s game time.
What Type Of Team Event Are You Planning?
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR TEAM
GET TO KNOW YOU Games
Build trust, spark laughs, and uncover the stories behind the name tags
Two Truths and a Lie
An oldie but a goodie. Everyone shares three “facts” about themselves: two true, one total fib. The team guesses the lie, and things usually spiral from there.
Tip: Pick a theme if your crew needs a nudge—childhood chaos, travel fails, or dodgy food moments never miss.
What’s on Your Desk?
Everyone shares an item from their desk and the story behind it. It’s quick, easy, and reveals a bit of personality.
Tip: Use themes like “most random item” or “thing you can’t work without” for extra flavour.
Bucket List Sharing
Ask each person to share one personal or professional goal on their bucket list. It’s a low-pressure way to spark deeper chats.
Tip: Revisit the list later and celebrate when someone ticks something off.
Cultural Potluck
Have everyone share a favourite dish, family tradition, or food story. Works IRL or online through photos and recipes.
Tip: Ask for a quick write-up to explain why it matters—it’s all about connection, not presentation.

Where Will Your Event Take Place?
CREATIVE & CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES
Think outside the box, build something wild, and bond while you’re at it.
Marshmallow Challenge
Each crew gets dry noodles, string, tape, and a marshmallow. Build the tallest freestanding tower—with the marshmallow on top.
Tip: 15–20 minute rounds with a countdown clock keep it fun and focused.
Lego Building
Teams recreate a model using only verbal instructions—no pointing, showing, or peeking.
Tip: Rotate leaders and add design twists or time limits to shake things up.
Tower of Babel
Use paper cups, tape, and random supplies to build the tallest freestanding tower.
Tip: Keep materials consistent and wrap up with a laugh-filled debrief.
Back-to-Back Drawing
One teammate describes an image while the other draws it—without turning around.
Tip: Start simple, then increase difficulty. Display the results for bonus laughs.
