Hybrid team building activities combine physical and virtual elements to offer the best of both worlds.
With the right execution, these activities can help your team members feel connected, regardless of location.
Since more teams are working remotely, or at least partially remotely, it’s important to have a few hybrid team building activities in your toolbox.
On the face of it, setting up team building for remote and hybrid teams may seem like a daunting task.
But with a little creativity, it's achievable.
Let's explore the best hybrid team building activities for you to bake into your team's routine.
Regardless of their location, all team members can take part in a few rounds of trivia with our intuitive solution.
Water Cooler Trivia can send original quizzes straight to your inbox.
These give everyone a chance to show off their smarts, laugh together, and form bonds.
You choose the schedule and categories while we do all the heavy lifting.
Oh, and the best bit?
You can get started with a free four-week trial.
That's right, no credit card is required.
This gives your hybrid team plenty of time to take Water Cooler Trivia for a test drive.
Build virtual coffee breaks into your team's schedule!
This is a great way to catch up with teammates, share news, and get everyone on the same page for the day ahead.
You can use a video conferencing tool like Zoom or Google Hangouts to make this happen.
While some team members can gather in person, others can join from home.
In the office, make sure to have a few coffee break staples on hand, like coffee, tea, and pastries.
If you have any coffee aficionados among your remote-working team members, they can even give a virtual tour of their home brewing setup.
Get everyone moving with an online scavenger hunt!
You can do this activity entirely virtually, or mix it up by having some team members complete the scavenger hunt in person while others join in online.
To get started, create a list of items for your team to find, such as common household items, office supplies, or even things that are specific to your line of work.
This one is going to take some planning.
Although, with the right approach, an online scavenger hunt is a ton of fun for all involved.

Use a tool like Zoom or Google Hangouts to have a virtual lunch with a teammate in the office.
Team leaders can pair remote-working employees with those in the office.
This is a great way for employees to get to know each other better and build relationships, even if they’re not in the same physical space.
This is a classic team building activity.
While some team members gather around a computer in the office, others can join in remotely.
One person plays a song, and the goal is for everyone to guess the tune as quickly as possible.
You can use a music streaming service like Spotify to make this happen.
Okay, not literally.
But you can use a murder mystery activity to get your team thinking critically and working together.
There are lots of different ways to set this up.
One option is to have team members in the office act as suspects, while those working remotely try to solve the case.
End the work day with a virtual happy hour!
This is a great way for team members to relax and unwind together, even if they’re not in the same physical space.
Again, you can use a video conferencing tool like Zoom or Google Hangouts to bring everyone together.
Honestly, who doesn't love a good game of Pictionary?
You can play this classic game virtually with a tool like Zoom or Google Hangouts.
One person draws a picture, while the others try to guess what it is.
You can use a whiteboard or just keep things simple with paper and pencils.
It all depends on what you have available at home or in the office.
Have team members in the office become pen pals with those working remotely.
They can exchange letters, postcards, or even just emails on a regular basis.
This is a fun way to stay connected, even if you’re not in the same physical space.

How could we not include wine on our list of hybrid team building activities?
You can use a tool like Zoom or Google Hangouts to host a virtual wine tasting class.
This is a great way for team members to learn about different types of wines and bond with each other, even if they’re not in the same physical location.
If you're going to taste a particular wine, you can always hand a case to the remote team members in advance.
