Games That Suit Colleagues
Pick games that are fun with people you know from work, without asking anyone to share more than they want to:
Pictionary - one person draws a secret word and the rest guess. A manager who cannot draw is the best moment of the call. Up to 10 players.
Category Blitz - name something in a category before your 10-second clock runs out. Up to 10 players.
Quick Minds - trivia where the fastest right answer scores the most. Up to 10 players.
LinkLogic - two teams give each other one-word clues, which rewards knowing how your colleagues think. 4 to 12 players.
Horse Race - tap to sprint, a race in about a minute. Good while people are still joining. Up to 12 players.

Pictionary, Category Blitz, Quick Minds, LinkLogic and Horse Race suit colleagues. For a round about the person leaving, use 2 Truths 1 Lie and Vote Party. All of them are free in a browser.
No. The games run in the browser on a work laptop or phone. Colleagues open the invite link from the meeting chat and join as guests, which helps on managed devices where nobody can install apps.
About 30 minutes inside the working day. That is enough for two games, a round about the person leaving and a short word from the manager, and it ends before people drift back to their inbox.
Everyone plays the same room on their own device. Put the video call on the meeting room screen, keep the game on each person's phone or laptop, and do not share the game screen.
Pictionary and Memory Match are calm and need no speed, and 2 Truths 1 Lie brings out stories from the retiree's years at the company. Leave more time for talking than at a usual team event.
Most of these games take up to 10 or 12 players, and Group RPS takes up to 20. For a bigger team, run two rooms at the same time and bring everyone back to the main call for the last game.
