These five fun team-building events are simple to plan, can be used in a variety of settings, and are sure to make your team laugh.

An escape room journey is great for a small group of people who want to have fun while solving puzzles. Team members must work together to decipher clues and tasks and "escape" inside a designated period of time while "locked" in a themed area. The work calls for people to cooperate and act fast on their feet as well as to clearly communicate under great pressure.You can hide puzzles and hints in or near the building if you're nice. You and your friends work together to finish an escape room task.

2. Two Truths and a Lie

The group then tries to figure out which of the three comments made by each person about themselves is not true. It’s a fun way to reveal surprising (and sometimes funny) facts about team members without needing any supplies.

This activity encourages open conversation on a personal level. In smaller groups, it’s especially effective because it creates a friendly, informal setting for sharing. By the end, everyone usually feels a bit closer and has a better sense of each other’s personalities and experiences.

3. Scavenger Hunt

Put people into pairs or small groups, and then give them a list of things to find or jobs to do in a certain place, like the office, a nearby park, or a virtual space if your team is spread out across the world. Things that can be items are real things, photos, or even small tasks.
