Team BridgeHoliday party games for large groups
When the whole company comes to the holiday party, pick games where everyone plays at once. Share one link in the call or on the room’s screen, and people join on their phone or laptop. We tested Trivia, This or That, Type Racer, Where in the World and Top Answers with 150 players connected to one room: every round ran to the end.
Trivia and the other premium games are included with a TeamBridge pass, for everyone in the lobbies you host. Type Racer, Scribble and seven more games are free to play.

What we saw in a test with 150 players
Before recommending games for big parties, we tested every TeamBridge game with 60 and with 150 players connected to one room: a host on a laptop, two phones and automated test players who answered, voted and guessed at human pace. With 150 connected, these five ran every round to the end.
Trivia
Everyone answers every question. The standings show the top rows and your own place, and the end screen says where you finished, like “97th of 153”.
This or That
Everyone votes each round, and the screen shows who is still choosing (“A, B & 59 more”), so the host knows when to move on.
Type Racer
Everyone races at once: the screen shows the leading racers, you, and “+55 more racing”. A race takes one to three minutes.
Where in the World
Everyone pins a guess on the map; the count of locked-in players runs live, and the reveal draws every pin with a line to the answer.
Top Answers
The whole room answers the survey, then two teams take turns guessing the top answers, one guesser per team at a time.
Pick by party size
100 people or more
Trivia, This or That, Type Racer, Where in the World and Top Answers: the five that ran cleanly in our test with 150 players connected.

Games where each person gets a turn or a card: Who Said That?, Bot or Not, Punchline Duel and Bluff Dice. In bigger rooms the turns add up, so save them for a team’s own party or a breakout room.
Several teams at once
Open one lobby per team or breakout room and post each link in its room, then compare the winners at the end.
The holiday options in these games
Pick the holiday option in the lobby; everything else stays the same, whatever the size of the group.
Holiday trivia

Holiday markets
From December 1 to January 6, Where in the World offers a Holiday markets set of places next to the usual landmarks.
Holiday survey

Not everyone celebrates
This or That, Type Racer and the General Knowledge and Geography trivia work for everyone, whatever they celebrate.
Hybrid party: some in the office, some at home
Everyone on their own screen
People in the office join on their phones and people at home on their laptops, from the same link. Nobody has to crowd around one screen.
One shared screen in the room
Share the lobby on the meeting room’s screen while people join, so the office sees the names come in along with the people on the call.
Make teams, not a crowd
Top Answers splits the party into two teams, and Where in the World plays in two to four teams: sides to cheer for, in the office and at home.
Try it the day before
Open a lobby with two or three colleagues a day early, so you know the settings and the start button on the day.
