Running an online company party
For an online party that feels like being together, even with everyone somewhere else.
An active format
An online company party becomes fun when people experience something together.
An online party doesn't have to be a compromise. Games, live entertainment, online escape rooms and social spaces can together make an evening that works beautifully — provided the programme is well designed and the technology runs smoothly.
Above all, not like a meeting
A screen full of faces isn't a party. We design a programme with games, entertainment and room to simply catch up.
Wandering around and running into people
In the right environment people walk around freely and fall into conversation. Just as at a real party.
Everyone included, wherever they are
Colleagues at home, in the office or abroad celebrate together. No travel, no fuss, at the same moment.
In practice
Three examples. Years of experience.
International teamAn online party for colleagues in several countries
An organisation wants to close the year with staff who rarely see each other in person. We build an online evening with a plenary opening, an interactive game and free space to meet.
Department eventFrom online drinks to a real programme
A team wants something better than the standard digital drinks. We design a compact company party with a formal word from the CEO, a bespoke quiz and themed rooms that suit spontaneous conversation.
SMESeveral activities in one online environment
For a large group we combine entertainment, games and social spaces. Participants choose what they join, just as at a physical event.

What a successful running an online company party needs.
01
A programme with energy
An online company party needs pace, variation and short segments. Long plenary blocks take the energy out of it.
02
A platform that supports meeting people
For informal online events a social environment usually works better than a standard video meeting. The choice of platform is crucial.
03
Good hosting
A festive online gathering needs clear guidance. Hosts look after the atmosphere, the explanations, the technology and the transitions between segments.
