Office Christmas Party Games

The office Christmas party has one job: be fun with your boss two feet away, and leave nobody explaining themselves over email in January. These clear that bar.

Players

Whoever's on the guest list — works from a small team up to the whole floor

You'll need

Varies by game — most need nothing you don't already have lying around the office

How to play

  1. 1Secret Santa with a twist — white elephant rules, where you can steal someone else's gift instead of opening a new one.
  2. 2Office pub quiz — mix general knowledge with in-jokes only your team would get.
  3. 3Mr and Mrs, office version — how well do colleagues actually know each other; questions about the boss go down best.
  4. 4Two Truths and a Lie — round the table, guess who's bluffing; scales to any group size.
  5. 5DartUp, Social side — pub-safe forfeits and points, works fine set up in a break room or a function room.
  6. 6Work-themed charades or Pictionary — swap in client names and office jargon for the usual categories.

Tips

  • Check who's driving and who's not drinking before you build the whole night around a bar tab.
  • Keep anything about specific colleagues gentle — funny to the room, not just to the person who wrote it.
  • Book the function room early. Every other office in town has the same idea in December.

Keep the night going

DartUp's Social side swaps shots for points — the difference between a good office do and an awkward one-to-one with HR in January.
