# Office party games for year-end and Diwali parties Office parties need games that work over dinner, with a drink in one hand and colleagues from every floor. Company Housie with calls about the year’s wins, a department quiz, and an arcade leaderboard where finance plays against sales are the safe bets; a Crowd DJ keeps the dance floor honest afterwards. Written for you, the family or host planning your own event. 8 games, each playable in your browser from this page.

Housie: every phone gets a ticket, nobody needs to stand up, and the calls can be written about your company. How do we handle prizes? The leaderboards name the top players or teams at the end of each game; the host console shows the winners so you can call them up for the prize. What if half the office is remote? Remote colleagues can play from the same link on their phones; the big screen is only for the people in the room. ## More lists - [Diwali party games for office, society and family11 games](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/diwali-party-games/) - [Team building games for corporate offsites12 games](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/team-building-games-for-offsites/) - [Annual day event ideas for companies10 games](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/annual-day-ideas/) - [Team building games for large groups, from 100 to 1,000 people7 games](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/team-building-games-for-large-groups/) - [Icebreaker games for work events that are not awkward7 games](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/icebreaker-games-for-work/) - [Family day activities for employees and their families6 games](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/family-day-activities/) - [Town hall engagement ideas beyond the Q&A mic7 games](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/town-hall-engagement-ideas/) [All game idea lists](https://sociana.in/play/ideas/) · [Find games with filters](https://sociana.in/play/) ## Shortlist sent A person on our team will reply within one working day with setup notes and an itemised quote.
