Virtual Holiday Games
These virtual holiday games are for remote teams who want a quick, festive break on any video call. The 13 Missions fit in a 45 to 60 minute call, with a live leaderboard keeping score. Everyone plays on their own from their desk, so it works for anything from a team of five to a whole department.
