Office Party Games That Work in the Room and on the Call

Updated September 2026

The best office party games let everyone play on their own phone, whether they are in the room or on the call. On Twentyroll, the host starts a free room and shares a code, and up to 12 colleagues play Trivia Night, Imposter, Word Mix or Odd One Out together. For a bigger team, run a room per table.

An office party has three audiences: the people in the room, the people dialling in, and the people who would rather not be picked on. Games that run on everyone’s own phone handle all three, because nobody has to stand up, nobody is stuck watching a shared screen, and the quiet ones can still win.

Start a room

How do you run games at an in-person office party?

Everyone plays on their own phone, so there is nothing to set up but the code. Put it on a slide, a whiteboard or the team chat, and people join from wherever they are standing. Trivia Night and Odd One Out work for any crowd; Imposter is the one that gets the room shouting.

What about a virtual office party on Zoom or Teams?

Paste the room link in the meeting chat and run three games back to back.

1
Warm-up: Odd One Out
Five puzzles while people are still joining. One tap each, nothing to explain.
2
Trivia round
10 questions with reveals that wait for the host, so someone can read the answers out like a quiz master.
3
Finale: Imposter
With 3 or more players, end on a round of bluffing on camera.

Setting it up on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet

Can remote and in-office people play together?

Yes, and it is the best reason to use phone games at a hybrid party. People in the office and people on the call join the same room with the same code, see the same question at the same moment, and share one scoreboard. Nobody on the call is left watching the office have fun.

What if the team is bigger than 12?

Each room takes up to 12 players. For a bigger team, run parallel rooms (one per table or one per department), each with its own host, and compare the winners at the end. Planning an event for 20 or more? Email hello@twentyroll.com.

Frequently asked questions

What are good office party games for large groups?

Games that split into small rooms. On Twentyroll each room takes up to 12 players, so a bigger team plays one room per table and compares winners. No-equipment classics like Two Truths and a Lie also scale to any size.

What office party games work at Christmas?

Keep it short and mixed: a 10-question trivia round, a Word Mix break, and Imposter as the finale. For a no-phone icebreaker, try Two Truths and a Lie with holiday stories.

Do people need to download anything?

No. Everyone joins in the browser on their own phone or laptop with a code and a name. Only the host needs a free account.

Is it free for a work event?

Yes. Joining is free for everyone, and a free account can host 3 games a day. If you are running rooms all afternoon, Premium makes hosting unlimited.
