10 Best Online Games to Play While in Office

Let’s be honest. Work from home, work from office, hybrid, remote — doesn’t matter. After 3 p.m., most of us are looking for one thing: something fun to play online (and not get caught by the manager, obviously 😅).

Whether you're on a call pretending to listen or planning a legit team bonding session, these online office games are perfect for spicing things up. You don’t need to install anything — just send a link, and boom! Fun starts.

Here are 10 games (5 from our list, 5 famous ones) that are perfect for playing online while you're still technically “working.”

1. Categories ➝

Simple. Fast. Competitive. You get a category like “types of coffee” and every player types in as many things as they can. Duplicates get cancelled out. It’s like typing speed meets brain workout. Super fun in teams.

2. Wheel of Fortune ➝

The classic guessing game with a twist. You spin a virtual wheel, guess letters, and try to figure out the secret word. There’s also a bit of chaos when someone guesses 'Z' for no reason.

3. Reverse Semantle ➝

A word gets closer every 5 seconds. The faster you guess it, the more points you score. It’s like Wordle, but reverse, and more satisfying.

4. Does Everyone Think the Same? ➝

Everyone answers the same question. If your answer matches with anyone else, you’re out. So, saying “pizza” as your fav food? Not a good idea here.

5. Find My Password ➝

One teammate knows the word. Others have to guess it from clues. No part of the word is allowed in the hint. It's like dumb charades — but more intellectual (kinda).

👾 And some games everyone knows (and loves)

6. Skribbl.io

The OG drawing and guessing game. Easy to start, and the drawings are always ✨questionable✨.

7. Gartic Phone

Broken telephone + drawing = chaos. Draw something, pass it, and laugh at how wrong it becomes in the end. Works best with 6+ players.

8. JKLM Games – BombParty

Word-building under pressure. You get a letter combo and have to think of a word fast. Simple interface, highly addictive.

9. Codenames Online

Team guessing game with one-word clues. Great for big groups. Very popular for Fun Fridays and “pretend we’re doing culture-building” sessions.

10. Spyfall

Everyone knows the location… except one spy. Ask questions, spot the spy. Easy to start, surprisingly intense.

Final thoughts

Fun doesn’t have to wait till the offsite or once-a-quarter Zoom party. These online office games are lightweight, zero-setup, and actually enjoyable (unlike that “engagement platform” HR keeps emailing about).

Just pick a few, send the links, and let your team have a laugh. You’ll be surprised how many people actually look forward to the next “15-minute break.”
