"Winter can be a tough time for teams. Shorter days, colder weather, and busy schedules can drain motivation - whether your employees are in the office, hybrid, or fully remote. But the right winter activity can turn the season around. "
Bringing people together for something fun, social, and refreshing is one of the easiest ways to boost morale, strengthen culture, and keep your team energized.
To help you make the most of the season, we’ve pulled together a mix of winter activities designed to spark connection, support wellbeing, and create memorable shared experiences.
Activities to Re-Energize Your Team
The winter slump is real - but social connection is a proven antidote. Giving your team opportunities to step away from their day-to-day and collaborate in a new way can make all the difference.
Level Up
Looking for an instant energy boost? Level Up challenges teams across ten levels and five categories - each one harder than the last. Fast-paced problem-solving, quick thinking, delegation, and strategy all come into play. It’s a brilliant way to refresh motivation and get people working together.
Pirate’s Cove
This high-energy scavenger hunt has teams navigating a digital treasure map, unlocking locations, and racing through interactive challenges. With limited time and plenty of twists, it’s a fun, competitive way to bring your team together during the colder months.
All activities are fully weatherproof and flexible - great for playing in-office, at an offsite, or entirely remotely.
Activities That Build Strategy & Collaboration
Winter is also a great time to focus on development. Whether you’re connecting cross-functional teams or bringing global offices together, strategic team activities help strengthen skills in a fun, accessible way.
Arctic Survival (Virtual Escape Room)
This immersive virtual escape room tests communication, logical thinking, and teamwork as your group works together on an icy rescue mission. Teams must problem-solve under pressure, delegate based on strengths, and collaborate closely to escape before time runs out.
The Pitch
A great option for business-minded teams. Employees create, brand, and pitch a product -tapping into marketing, design, strategy, finance, and storytelling. It’s engaging, creative, and fantastic for building confidence and cross-team collaboration.
From ski resorts to train journeys, your team becomes a group of detectives solving a case. They’ll analyze evidence, share theories, and work strategically to uncover the culprit. It’s fun, fast-moving, and great for teams who love a challenge.
