Two Truths and a Lie is a classic for a reason! Easy to do remotely, and people often share surprising things. Keep it light and quick.
We do a 'virtual show and tell' β people bring one item from their desk or home that means something to them and share a short story. It's more personal than just facts. You learn a lot about personalities this way.
Online Pictionary using a shared whiteboard tool (like Miro or a Zoom whiteboard) can be hilarious and requires teamwork. Or try Skribbl.io. Laughter is a great connector.
A 'Rose, Bud, Thorn' check-in can be nice. Rose = something positive, Bud = something you're looking forward to, Thorn = a challenge. Can be work-related or personal. It fosters vulnerability in a structured way.
Ask people to share a picture of their 'co-worker' if they have pets, or their favorite WFH snack. Quick, visual, and usually sparks some fun, lighthearted chat. Keeps it simple.
One of my favs is 'Desert Island Discs'. If you were stranded on a desert island, what one book, one album, and one luxury item would you bring? Tells you a lot about people's tastes and priorities.
We used an online quiz platform like Kahoot! with fun, general knowledge questions or silly 'team trivia' once people know each other a bit. The competitive aspect (even if low-stakes) gets people engaged.
