How Onboarding Games Promotes Inclusivity and Connection?

Onboarding games are a fun and inclusive way to break the ice and make new hires feel more welcome and valued. Typically, onboarding involves run-of-the-mill presentations and training sessions, which (of course, necessary) can sometimes feel routine and impersonal. Gamification turns learning into an engaging experience rather than a passive task. It encourages participation and helps new hires connect with their teammates in a more relaxed and enjoyable way.

 

Interactive employee onboarding games like trivia, icebreaker questions, escape rooms, or murder mysteries give them a chance to collaborate, use their skills, and solve challenges in a fun way. This can also create an unforgettable first impression and set the stage for a workplace that’s more engaging and efficient right from day one.

These activities not only make the onboarding experience enjoyable but also foster meaningful connections that go beyond work-related tasks. This helps new hires build rapport, strengthen communication, and develop a sense of belonging within the team.

I had an amazing experience participating in a virtual bingo event hosted by Messy! From start to finish, everything was so well organized and fun. Messy kept the energy up, made everyone feel included, and even added some creative twists to keep the game exciting. It was the perfect blend of friendly competition and lighthearted fun. The virtual setup was seamless, and it was so easy to follow along. Plus, Messy made sure to engage with everyone, cracking jokes and making sure nobody felt left out. I've participated in a lot of virtual events, but this one was by far the most enjoyable. I highly recommend drag bingo if you're looking for a fun event.

The host was engaging. The halloween trivia was a great activity and liked how the rounds were divided to focus on different genre. Great engagement with the holistic team!

No one on my team had ever done an escape room virtually or in person and we did not know what to expect. We were slow to get the hang of it but when we did we had the BEST time working to together to find the clues and use the things we found. We learned quickly that getting out of the room would take all of us working together and Mira our host was awesome. She was critical to our working together and our success. Afterwards we connected and agreed that we all enjoyed it so much we will want to do it again when the hours are more friendly for our India employees.

CYPHER Learning booked a series of Hooray Teams events for our virtual office Olympics, and everyone loved the exciting pace of the events and fun spirit of the hosts! Hooray Teams was easy to communicate with and provided prompt responses to all of our questions, planned and hosted six wonderful events, and provided exactly the service we were looking for. We had a great experience with Hooray Teams, and would book again!

It was a very seamless experience booking with Hooray team. Aakash was very hands on with communicating in every step, even if there were some minor things also that came up. The painting instructor was also amazing and really guided us (from beginners to advanced) in making sure we understood and had fun. I would recommend using Hooray teams again in the future.
