Your team just entered the wildest office showdown ever – six mini-game challenges, one shot at eternal bragging rights. Work together, think fast, and outscore the competition in a team game built for big laughs and collective creativity!
How It Works
Ready to transform your team's day from average to absolutely unforgettable? Welcome to The Office Olympics — a high-energy, laugh-out-loud virtual experience packed with wildly creative challenges, surprise twists, and just the right amount of (friendly) competition. Think: team trivia meets improv meets party games, all cleverly designed to spark connection, collaboration, and side-splitting laughter.
Your team will compete in five to six fast-paced events (depending on your chosen duration) that test everything from collective brainpower to creative chaos. There’s no need to train, sweat, or study up on sports — these games are built for everyone, regardless of background, job title, or tech-savviness.
Led by our hilariously engaging hosts (a.k.a. your “International Office Committee”), this experience is perfect for remote teams looking to connect in a fresh, meaningful way — no awkward icebreakers or trust falls required. Whether you're mixing departments, onboarding new hires, or celebrating a milestone — The Office Olympics brings the energy, excitement, and team spirit your staff will be buzzing about for weeks. Let the (office-safe) games begin!
✅ HR-approved
✅ No sports knowledge necessary
✅ Just pure, hilarious, team-building fun
➡️ Before the activity begins, we’ll split your total group up into teams of ~5 participants. By default, teams are randomized. However, if you'd like to assign the teams yourself, just drop us a message and we'll be happy to accommodate!
➡️ During the activity, your road to glory looks like this:
- Event 1 - The Opening Ceremony: Kick things off by inventing a mythical country, designing a team flag, and crafting a team "uniform" out of office supplies. Then, snap the most epic team photo possible. The judges? Your co-workers!
- Event 2 - Bonus Round: A surprise twist! We’re not telling you what it is — but let’s just say this wild card challenge is your chance to score (or lose) big.
- Event 3 -Trivia Dash: A rapid-fire round of general knowledge and quirky trivia. Solve as many questions as you can, work fast, and look out for unexpected bonus point opportunities along the way!
- Event 4 - Pass the Baton: The scenario? A fictional (but all-too-relatable) office dilemma. Your mission? Craft a hilarious email reply… one sentence at a time, as a team. You’ll need collaboration, creativity, and maybe a little chaos to pull it off!
- Event 5 - Bonus Round: Another twist you won’t see coming — and another chance to climb the leaderboard or fall hilariously short.
- Event 6 - The Team Pitch-athlon: It’s marketing mayhem! We’ll give your team a ridiculous product — you’ll create a logo, tagline, and a pitch presentation to sell it to the group. Then vote on your favorites and see who wins the hearts (and points) of the crowd.
➡️ After the time’s up, we’ll close the breakout rooms and bring everyone back for a hilarious awards presentation where we’ll introduce the teams and announce the final results!
💡 The Office Olympics is great for anyone interested in a casual, slightly competitive activity.
🖥️ The Office Olympics is a browser-based activity and requires no downloads or logins. We recommend that all participants join from a computer (if all participants are joining from one location, let’s discuss this beforehand!)
🟢 Participants will be broken up into teams of ~5 people. Teams will play in separate breakout rooms at the same time.
🎉 No sports. No sweat. No pressure. Just a fast-paced flurry of laughs, bonding, and creativity your team will be talking about for ages.

Runaway Games provided an extremely entertaining escape room experience for everyone to participate in no matter where in the world they are! We did the Escape Spy Island experience and would highly recommend!
What a fun event hosted by some lively characters! The puzzles were challenging, but not too hard. And the support of the staff was excellent! They really pulled out the stops to make sure our group had a good time! Thanks for a great session!
I really enjoyed the versatility of the game. The two people who lead it were energetic, kind, and helpful. It was a wonderful team building exercise. I would love to try the Family Feud team building option next time. Thank you so much!
It was a very nice, relaxing way to spend quality time with the team. Working together to solve the clues and escape was time well spent. Definitely recommend this event. Thanks Warden Sandy for all the guidance on this quest. FREEDOM!!!!
Brought in Runaway Games to host our Halloween Happy Hour tonight! It was seriously so fun and the employees all had a blast. I really liked the way the puzzles were laid out and how they varied from each other. It kept it super entertaining and my team was super focused!
We recently had a team building activity with Escape Alcatraz, and I've heard feedback from my teammates describing it as "the best team building event we've ever done." This sentiment was broadly shared throughout my team.
I would HIGHLY recommend. I booked Escape Alcatraz for a virtual employee team-building event and it was a HUGE success. All of our employees gave it a 5/5. The wardens were great and so was the customer service.
Amazing experience. Definitely recommend for virtual team building event. Loved it!
Our team from Pepperl+Fuchs had a blast during this teambuilding event. Great game design that requires the whole team to get involved! Can only recommend and am hoping for a sequel!
Amazing game, fun, good team bonding event. So impeccably well organized! Kudos
Cool escape room experience. would definitely do it again
This experience was super fun! It's a great way to build team connections, learn and laugh together doing something completely outside work! Thanks Escape Alcatraz!!!!
Such a fun team building experience! Would love to do it again :)
A fun and exciting game that challenges you with mini-games to tackle as a team. This game is for players that like to try various challenges and work as a team. Because the skills that were tested at each section are distinctively different, each member of your team will have something to contribute.
Cool team building games!
Escape Alcatraz was a great event for the team! Certainly exceeded my expectations and have had some great feedback from the team. Excellent way to break up the remote work during lockdown. Would recommend!
Fun and entertaining! Fun and entertaining!
