"Creating opportunities for social connection and shared experiences is one of the most effective ways to boost productivity and wellbeing throughout the season."
Winter is the perfect time to help your team reconnect, recharge, and stay motivated. As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, morale can dip - whether your people work in the office, remotely or in a hybrid setup.
To help you support your teams, we’ve rounded up a selection of updated winter activities for adults - ideal for energising groups, strengthening strategy skills, and celebrating the festive season.
Activities for Energising Teams
Winter can make everyone feel a little sluggish, so building in moments of fun is a great way to lift spirits. Whether you’re all together in the office or spread across different locations, activities that encourage connection can make a real difference to team dynamics.
Level Up is an excellent option for teams who love a challenge. With ten levels of quick-fire tasks across five categories, it keeps everyone on their toes. As the difficulty ramps up, teams must communicate efficiently, think creatively, and delegate smartly. It’s fast-paced, uplifting, and guaranteed to shake off the winter cobwebs.
Another high-energy choice is Pirate’s Cove, one of our most popular on-foot scavenger hunts. Teams unlock challenges using an interactive treasure map, earning points and racing the clock as they explore their surroundings. It’s an exciting blend of strategy and adventure - perfect for injecting energy into the day.
If the weather’s unpredictable, don’t worry. Most of our activities are fully flexible and can be delivered indoors, outdoors, at your office, or virtually - making them a reliable winter option for teams of any size or setup.
Activities for Promoting Strategy
While energising games are great for morale, winter is also a brilliant time to focus on skill-building. Team activities can strengthen collaboration, communication, and decision-making—especially helpful for teams working across different locations.
A standout option is our Arctic Survival Virtual Escape Room. Teams must crack codes, uncover clues, and pool their skills to complete a high-pressure rescue mission. It’s an engaging, immersive way to build problem-solving abilities and encourage leadership behaviours. Best of all, it can be played anywhere - ideal for hybrid or remote teams.
For a more business-oriented challenge, The Pitch encourages teams to create, market, and present a brand-new product. From strategy and design to finance and marketing, everyone plays a role. It’s a brilliant way to highlight people’s strengths while bringing cross-functional groups together.
If your team loves a bit of mystery, a Murder Mystery event is another clever way to promote strategic thinking. Whether you choose a ski resort, a train journey, or a school reunion setting, teams must piece together motives, evaluate evidence, and identify suspects. It’s collaborative, competitive, and great for developing critical reasoning skills.
Activities for Celebrating the Festive Season
The end of the year is the ideal moment for teams to come together and celebrate. No matter how your workplace marks the festive period, there’s an activity to match your style - whether you want something light-hearted or something adventurous.
Winter Games is a brilliant choice for teams looking for a fun seasonal challenge. With themed tasks and trivia, teams race down a digital mountain while competing to earn the most points. It’s festive without being overly Christmas-focused, making it suitable for all teams.
For a more classic seasonal celebration, the Christmas Social is always a crowd favourite. Packed with photo missions, festive trivia, and hilarious challenges, it’s a great way to encourage connection and laughter. Whether you’re in the office or celebrating virtually, it brings the holiday spirit to life.
