Office Party Games

All work and no play....can not only make Jack a dull boy, but anyone's life can become boring and monotonous with tedious work hours. Research shows that over working can in fact lead to decrease in productivity. Event organizers are encashing this fact and squeezing huge bucks from the companies in the name of providing entertainment and some fun activities to corporates and their hard working employees. 

But what if you do not want to or cannot afford such an extravagant affair and want to arrange a  quick party at office to spend a fun filled and interactive evening with your colleagues without spending much? Yes, you can definitely put up a lively and enjoyable evening and spruce it up with some innovative and enjoyable games. 
Office Party - fun Games and activities

I have tried to list few fun games and party ideas which can turn your boring workplace into a playful workplace. These games and activities can be organized in your office premises with minimal props and using the stuffs easily available at your workspace. 

You are most welcome to contribute to this list, the games which you played in your office gatherings and had fin. Who knows your ideas might help and inspire others to organize at their offices.

1. Treasure Hunt : 

Treasure hunt at Office party games and ideas This is one challenging game which we enjoyed as kids. It's not late, you can arrange this treasure hunt in your office too. Write down some clever hints and hide them in the least expected spots in and around office premises. Enjoy the fun while your colleagues run around in search of the treasure. 
2. Guess Who ?
Guess the personality game at Office party games ideasNo points for guessing the rules of the game! You can just announce the hints one by one and the players have to guess the personality. The earlier they guess, the more points they get. It can be played as individuals or in teams. Bring out your creativity in describing your co-worker and make it a funnier one.
 3. Silly Employee Awards
Silly Employee awards at Office Party gamesIt is one of the best opportunities to recognize and reward your employees. But please reserve those serious awards of achievements and hard-work for annual meets. If you want to laugh your heart out and enjoy the evening, give away some silliest awards to each of them. Some examples I can think of now are - the best desk decorator, the hurry-burry chap, makeup queen, sleepy head, target-bitten, heavy drinker (coffee/tea) and the rest you know more about your colleagues. Include everyone in the list. Make it more enjoyable with the condition that every recipient has to give a funny thank you speech. Double fun!
4. Photoshop it!

5. Song translation game
Song translation office party gameA fun game for all the music lovers in your office, no translation tool required. You just have to brush up your Bollywood knowledge! I have a list of Bollywood songs which are translated in English. The challenge is to guess the original song. The English translation of Hindi songs . Some examples are
1. Sometimes in my heart, there comes a thought, as if you were made only for me...
(Kabhie kabhie mere dil mein, khayal aata hai, ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere lite...)

2. I was passing by, I was eating bhelpuri, if you felt hot, what can I do...
(Mein to raste se jaa raha tha, mein to bhel puri kha raha tha, tujhko mirchi lagi to mein kya Karun...)

3. One hot teacup and somebody to serve it...
(Ek garam chai ki pyali ho, koi use pilane wali ho...)

 7. Bollywood Games
Bollywood games at office parties Am sure you will have a lot of colleagues who have an extra affinity towards movies and Bollywood in general. Give them an edge by conducting some Bollywood related games. You can find a whole list of some 50 games here. Some examples are given below:
