About Team Building Shenanigans
What it is, and why playful beats formal.
What are team building shenanigans?
“Team building shenanigans” refers to lighthearted, playful, and unconventional activities designed to boost workplace morale, strengthen relationships, and help coworkers connect in an informal setting. Unlike traditional, rigid corporate workshops, shenanigans focus on humor, low stakes, and genuine human interaction.
Why choose Virtual Office Shenanigans over formal training?
- Lowers guards: Playful activities break down corporate hierarchies.
- Reduces burnout: Purely fun activities give the brain a break from high-stress deliverables.
- Creates organic inside jokes: Shared laughter builds stronger, more resilient communication channels than forced collaboration exercises.
Frequently asked questions for HR teams
For the person who has to book it, and would rather not have to run it.
Why is Virtual Office Shenanigans™ a great choice for HR teams?
Virtual Office Shenanigans™ gives HR teams an easy, fun, live-hosted virtual team building experience without having to plan, organize, or host the event themselves. Our professional host Scott Topper leads the games, keeps everyone engaged, manages the pacing, and creates an entertaining experience your employees can simply enjoy.
Do HR teams have to host or facilitate the event?
No. That’s one of the biggest advantages. Emmy-nominated TV & radio host Scott Topper leads the entire 60-minute experience LIVE on Zoom, so HR can participate alongside everyone else instead of worrying about running the event.
Is Virtual Office Shenanigans™ good for remote and hybrid teams?
Yes. The experience is designed specifically for remote and hybrid teams, allowing employees to interact and participate together from wherever they are working.
Will our employees actually participate?
The games are designed to get employees actively involved, rather than sitting through another virtual presentation. Participants play challenges, interact with coworkers, laugh together, and compete in a fast-moving, professionally hosted experience.
What makes this different from a typical virtual happy hour?
Instead of simply putting everyone on a video call and hoping people interact, Virtual Office Shenanigans™ gives your team structured, entertaining activities that create natural interaction and connection. Employees have something to do together—and something to talk about afterward.
Is it difficult for HR to organize?
No. We make it simple. Your team receives a professionally hosted virtual event LIVE on Zoom, with Scott leading the experience from beginning to end. HR doesn’t have to develop games, prepare activities, or manage the event.
How long is the virtual team building game?
Virtual Office Shenanigans™ is a 60-minute live-hosted virtual team building experience, making it easy to add to a company meeting, employee-engagement program, virtual celebration, retreat, lunch event, or team social.
What does Virtual Office Shenanigans™ help employees do?
The interactive games encourage communication, collaboration, connection, laughter, teamwork, and relationship building—all while giving employees a memorable experience together.
Why hire an Emmy-nominated TV host to lead our virtual event?
A professional television and radio host brings energy, timing, audience interaction, and entertainment experience to the event. Scott Topper keeps the experience moving and engaging, so your HR team doesn’t have to worry about whether the event will feel flat or awkward.
Is this appropriate for corporate events?
Absolutely. Virtual Office Shenanigans™ is designed for corporate teams, HR departments, employee engagement programs, remote teams, hybrid teams, company meetings, celebrations, and team-building events.
What does HR need to do?
Very little. You bring your team; we bring the games, hosting, energy, and entertainment. Our goal is to make the experience easy for HR to book and effortless to enjoy.
Why should HR choose a live-hosted virtual team building game instead of a self-guided activity?
A live host provides structure, energy, interaction, and accountability throughout the event. Employees aren’t left trying to figure out what to do next, and HR doesn’t have to become the facilitator. It’s a professionally hosted experience rather than another activity HR has to manage.
