How to throw a virtual holiday party people remember

Six things we have learned from running holiday parties for remote teams every December.

  1. 01

    Hold it on work time

    December evenings belong to families, travel and other parties. A party in the working day says thank you; one at 7 pm feels like overtime.

  2. 02

    Put one hosted hour in the middle

    Open and close the party yourself, and hand the hour in between to a host. Nobody wants their VP as the MC for 90 minutes.

  3. 03

    Mix the teams

    Breakout teams that cross departments are where the good moments happen. Ask the host to shuffle teams so people meet someone new.

  4. 04

    Plan for your most remote person

    Pick a time that works for the farthest time zone, choose a winter edition if not everyone celebrates Christmas, and allow 3 to 4 weeks if kits ship abroad.

  5. 05

    Decide on kits early

    A box on every doorstep makes it feel like an event, but kits need addresses 3 weeks out. Short on time? A hosted game ships nothing.

  6. 06

    Send the invite the day you book

    Calendars fill fast in December. Put the event link in the invite right away and the party is on everyone’s calendar before the rush.

Virtual holiday party questions

How much does a virtual holiday party cost?

Hosted holiday games are packages from about $34 a person for up to 25 people, and bigger groups add more teams. Kit workshops are priced per person plus a base fee, and the magic shows are priced by group size. Every card on this page shows the live price. Continental US kit shipping is included. You see the full price before you book, and a 50% deposit holds the date.

How far ahead should we book a December party?

Hosted games need 2 weeks’ notice and kit events need 3 weeks (3 to 4 weeks with international addresses). Custom questions or branding need 4 weeks. Lock the date as soon as you have it: for a party on Thu, Dec 10, book kits by Thu, Nov 19 and games by Thu, Nov 26. Sooner than that? Ask us.

Which video platforms do you use?

Zoom by default. Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request. Music Bingo is Zoom only. Your host runs the breakout rooms, so you only need to send the invite.

Can you host a big group or the whole company?

Yes. Bigger groups get more teams, each in its own breakout room, and we may add a tech assistant. For a company-wide party we have run a single 60-minute event for 1,000 registered employees across four parallel activity tracks.

Can you ship kits to people outside the US?

Yes. Continental US shipping is included; Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and international addresses are add-ons. Book 3 to 4 weeks ahead for international guests. See how global shipping works.

Can we combine a game and a kit?

Yes. Book two activities back to back, for example Cookie Decorating followed by Festive Family Feud, each about an hour. Or let people choose: in a multi-event program each guest picks their own activity.

What if not everyone celebrates Christmas?

Pick a winter edition. Winter Music Bingo Party, Winter Showdown! and Comfy Cozy Game Shows! can run with no holidays mentioned. More ideas in our guide to inclusive holiday parties.

Can we add our own questions or branding?

Some games can add your own questions or a branded background; some requests cost extra. Ask us which ones fit when you book. Customization needs at least 4 weeks’ notice.

Can we do the party in the office instead?

Yes. Our hosts bring Feud Night, Music Bingo and Team Trivia to offices in 17 US cities. See in-office holiday parties in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, DC.
