Virtual team-building games to make remote work less remote

Mr. Douglas’s Treasure

A mysterious billionaire recently died. He had no heirs and didn’t want to give his money away. So he designed a series of tests: puzzles and challenges to see who was worthy…

Mr. Douglas’s Treasure is a two hour long team-building game designed to be played by 10 players on videochat. Each player is shipped a package of puzzles, props and clues and must work together to solve the mystery of where Mr. Douglas hid his treasure.

The game is hosted by an in-game actor who will set the scene, give team hints, and also lead a facilitated discussion after the game on the team’s communication and teamwork.

3 week lead-time is required for customizing of props and shipping.

This 2 hour experience costs $125/player and includes party supplies for a celebration after the game. $40 surcharge per package for international shipping. Larger groups will be split into teams to play at the same time

Escape the Zoom

Escape the Zoom is a customizable puzzle game where teams might have to call a phone number, that leads them to a website, that leads them to an Instagram post that leads them to an email address....

In this game, your team plays a team of detectives who have been hired by a client who was kidnapped and locked inside a room. The client (your host) has some information and locked boxes and you must tell them how to escape from the room.

Teamwork, communication and creative problem solving are required.

We can customize the game to your company: using your logo, your product, or your company’s values. Players are split into teams to compete for the best times.

This is an adjustable 60 or 90 min game with a minimum of 5 players and a maximum of 600 players. Depending on group size and customization desired, we may be able to accommodate your group in 1-5 days.

This game costs $75/player.

The Great Zoom Challenge Game

Players are split into teams to complete challenges for points. Our expert team-building facilitators will be the Game Show Host for your game to make sure everyone is having fun. We’ll work with you to customize a list of challenges and tasks that match your team personalities and company culture.

Challenges and tasks that teams must complete include:

Find an item that’s blue, pointy, made out of wood, and starts with the letter C. First team to come back gets 5 points.

Make a video of your team in their best dinosaur poses. Best video by audience choice wins 10 points.

Find an item that everyone on your team has and pass it to each other on Zoom. Best video by audience choice wins 10 points.

This is a 1 hour game, with a minimum of 10 players and a maximum of 100 players. Larger teams can be split into multiple qualifier round games with a championship round afterwards. Depending on group size and the customization of challenges desires, we may be able to accommodate your group in 1-3 business days.

This game costs $40/player.

Introducing our Cocktail Party Murder Mystery

You are cordially invited to Patchwork Detective Agency’s Detective of the Year Cocktail Party! This is sure to be a great night, including ice breakers, mingling, general celebratory cheer… and a devious murder! It’s up to your group to work together to interrogate suspects, solve puzzles, and find clues to identify the criminal before they can strike again.

This game is hosted by a team of five trained performers who will guide the players throughout the evening - if you can trust a thing they say.

This game costs $80 per player. Ideal for 12 to 50 players and is approximately 90 minutes.

For this game, we have two add-on options:

If you'd rather have one of your team members (we suggest the team manager) play Detective X (the person who was murdered), we can send them a script, a set-design kit, and work with them on the acting for an extra $200. The script will be sent to that participant before the game and rehearsal will be 10-20 min before their game.

If you're interested in party kits being sent to participants (tinsel, balloons, plastic champagne cups, Patchwork Detective Agency name tags, etc), we can do that for an extra $40 each.
