Do virtual Icebreakers provide social interaction?
Yes! All of our virtual ice breaker challenges have been created with social interaction as a priority. Each challenge will encourage teams to spark conversation, work together, have lots of fun, and get social – all virtually and from the safety and comfort of home. Using breakout room functionality which splits groups into small teams, we encourage participants to get social and collaborate in manageable sized groups. We’ve developed our technology to encourage teams to pick a ‘Captain’ or ‘Player’ role prompting them to communicate and agree on a team strategy. Once the game has been loaded, each challenge and task has been designed thoughtfully to encourage each individual to play a role and take part.

Icebreakers are also widely used during onboarding and early-career programs. In fact, many companies run a short intern program icebreaker activity during the kickoff of a global internship program to help new interns meet each other and connect with full-time employees.
