Games to Play on Zoom With Coworkers (No Extra Participant Apps)

"Let's do something fun on our next team call" is a sentence that fills most people with dread — because the follow-up is usually a clunky app nobody can figure out, a game that only works for 6 people, or an icebreaker that makes everyone uncomfortable.

Here are the best games to play on Zoom with coworkers in 2026 — No extra participant app is required for host-run PowerPoint games, but the host still needs the software and device listed on the product page. Just share your screen and play.

The Golden Rule of Zoom Games for Work

The best Zoom games for coworkers require zero downloads on the participants' end. The host shares their screen, everyone watches, and the game runs from a single PowerPoint file. That's it. No one has to install anything, create an account, or troubleshoot on a work call.

1. Family Feud on Zoom (Best Overall)

Survey says — this is the most popular Zoom game for work teams. The Family Feud Template is fully editable, so you can load it with work-specific questions that make it feel relevant and personal.

Work-specific questions that always get laughs:

• "Name something people do on mute during a Zoom call"
• "Name something always missing from the office kitchen"
• "Name a phrase that appears in every company email"
• "Name something people say in a Monday morning meeting"
• "Name a reason someone's camera is off"

How to run it on Zoom: Host shares screen, divides team into breakout rooms for 30 seconds of discussion, teams submit answers in chat.

2. Pub Trivia on Zoom

Our Pub Trivia Game is designed for screen sharing — 10 rounds, 100 questions, works perfectly over any video call platform. Divide into teams using breakout rooms, have teams submit answers in a shared doc or the chat, and run a full trivia tournament in under an hour.

3. Jeopardy on Zoom

Our Customizable Jeopardy Template works perfectly over Zoom. Load it with company trivia, industry knowledge, or general categories. Teams use the chat to buzz in — first team to type their answer wins the point.

4. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on Zoom

The lifeline format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire translates brilliantly to Zoom. "Phone a friend" becomes "unmute a coworker," "ask the audience" becomes a poll, and "50/50" eliminates two wrong answers. The dramatic format creates real tension even over video call.

5. Emoji Song Quiz on Zoom

Visual games work especially well on Zoom because everyone can see the screen clearly. Our Emoji Song Quiz is perfect — show the emoji combination, teams race to type the answer in chat. Fast, visual, and works for any group size.

6. Riddle Challenge on Zoom

Our Riddle Game works perfectly as a Zoom warm-up or icebreaker. Display the riddle on screen, give everyone 60 seconds to think, then have people type their answer in chat simultaneously. Great for starting a meeting with energy.

How to Run a Zoom Game Night for Your Team

1. Download your game — save the PowerPoint file to your desktop
2. Start your Zoom call — share your screen (select the PowerPoint window)
3. Enter slideshow mode — the game fills the shared screen
4. Divide into teams — use Zoom breakout rooms for team discussion
5. Collect answers via chat — teams type answers simultaneously to prevent copying
6. Keep score — use the built-in scoreboard or a shared Google Sheet

Tips for Zoom Games With Coworkers

• Test your screen share before the call — make sure audio comes through if you're playing music games
• Use breakout rooms for team discussion — 30–60 seconds per question keeps the pace fast
• Have a co-host — one person runs the game, another monitors the chat
• Keep it to 30–45 minutes — Zoom fatigue is real; shorter is better
• Customize at least one round with work-specific questions for maximum engagement
