Although first launched in 2019, this service will prove to be incredibly helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of Wildly Different's initial virtual team-building games included a digital escape room, company-specific 'Remote Game Shows,' and more. The new offerings include an online icebreaker called 'Getting To Know You Game' and the 'Connections Game Show' which allows teams to collaborate to complete challenges. The virtual team-building games present the chance for employees "to connect on a personal level and stay engaged with each other and [the] organization" that they are part of.
