What are some fun activities which I can organise for my company, where employees are globally distributed?

Answer 1

If you're talking about in-person events, board games are great because a lot of us remember how to play from when we were young, plus there's not an emphasis on drinking (which is pretty common in most companies but the company doesn't want to endorse it) and doesn't require any physical skill or special clothing. Scrabble is great; I always bring my Scrabble board when I know I will meet co-workers when on travel.

If you won't be getting together in person, you can organize an online scavenger hunt. Set up a web site where everyone can post their "finds" and make a list, including "global" stuff that everyone can relate to (find a site with a cat that someone has dressed up in a costume, pr Worst Elvis Impersonator, or first team to find a webcam for each of the Seven Natural Wonders wins) and local stuff so that people can get an idea of what their co-workers' day to day lives are like (best local music venue, favorite park). You can also have an online brain teaser or riddle; leave the question open for a day and see what kinds of kooky answers people post.

If folks will be travelling to the same areas but not together (for example, you have a branch office in London but everyone goes there separately) try geocaching. This is a lot of fun but you need to either subscribe to an existing geocaching group (most are free) or be very good at planning! You obtain map coordinates from your geocaching site and use a GPS to find that location; once you get there, you find your cache--- it may be as simple as a really stellar view of the city, or as complicated/unique as a tupperware box where visitors deposit a trinket for the next visitor, and take one of the trinkets an earlier visitor has left behind.
