Office Party Planning Tips

Get manager buy-in. Even if it's a team-initiated party, having manager support gives people permission to participate without guilt.

Keep games under 10 minutes each. Attention spans vary. Run 3–4 short games rather than one long one.

Offer opt-outs gracefully. Some people prefer watching. That's fine — don't force participation.

Use a shared screen or TV. Project games on the office screen or share your screen in Zoom so everyone sees the same thing.
