Retirement Party Games
A retirement party puts colleagues and family in one room: two groups who know the same person well and each other not at all. A game everyone joins from their own phone gets them talking.
Retirement party games for colleagues and family together
Several of these put the person leaving at the centre — they answer questions about themselves and the room guesses, which is a quick way for the office and the family to work out who they are talking to.
It all runs in a browser, so nothing installs on a work laptop and nobody needs an account. The board goes on any screen, and colleagues who have already moved on join the same room over a video call.
Common questions
- Do we need an app to play these retirement games?
- No. The host opens a game on any screen and everyone else scans a QR code with their phone camera. It all runs in the browser that is already on the phone — nothing to install, and no account to create.
- What do we need to host retirement party games?
- One screen everyone can see — a TV, a laptop, or even a propped-up phone — and a phone each for the players. That is the whole setup.
- Can we play these retirement games online with remote guests?
- Yes. Share the board screen on Zoom or any video call and every player still joins from their own phone, wherever they are — a virtual room plays exactly like one in person.
- Is it free?
- Hosting is free for small groups. Larger rooms, and hosting without the watermark, need a Pro plan or a one-off day, weekend or event pass.
- What happens if someone's phone drops out?
- They rejoin the same seat with their score intact. Rounds also run on timers, so one missing player never stalls the game for everyone else.
