GAMES AND ACTIVITIES FOR FALL HAPPY HOUR EVENTS

This article will feature 10+ ideas to host the ultimate Fall happy hour experience for your remote teams, including tips and tricks that will enhance your session!

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, we welcome the season of pumpkin patches, apple picking, cozy sweaters, cracking leaves, and the smell of cinnamon in the air. Fall is here, and as always, it is a great opportunity to bring teams together to celebrate the season and some of our favorite holidays.

While many of us love Fall, it can be a tough and busy season, and a virtual Fall team-building activity or corporate event can help boost team morale, and build memories for your employees. Happy hour is always a mood-booster and a great way to change up the day-to-day routine or celebrate a projection or milestone. Today, we will help you curate the perfect fall happy hour experience so your teams can have fun all season long!

Step 1. Choose your Happy Hour Session

1. Fall Cocktail Making

Invite your team to learn how to shake, pour, and stir some delicious Fall cocktails, with the help of a professional bartender. In this session, your team will not only learn fun tips and tricks from a mixologist and have fun with their team, but they will also learn a new skill that they can enjoy with their loved ones long after this session is over. KraftyLab’s mixology experience features some delicious Fall-inspired cocktails including a Cinnamon Crush, Apple Cider Martini, and Black and Blue Margarita.

2. Fall Wine Tasting

Fall reminds us of harvest season and beautiful foliage, so treat your team to a luxurious wine-tasting experience, that will make them feel like they are in Napa Valley themselves! This experience is led by a professional wine consultant, who will share her knowledge and experience as she guides you through this experience. Our all-inclusive wine kits will include a red, white, and seasonal rosé, and be shipped right to their door. To elevate this experience, you can add a cocktail-making aspect where your team can learn how to spruce up their wine or send snacks like cheese or cracker pairings.

3. Fall Honey Wine Tasting

Mead, also known as honey wine, is an ancient, yet increasingly popular product that you may spot at your local Harvest, Medieval, or Renaissance festival this Fall. Our Mead tasting experience is in collaboration with Groennfell Meadery, one of the leading meaderies in the country, and a B-certified company that embraces and loves this tradition. In this session, a professional brewer will guide your team through this tasting experience, and they will be able to enjoy a custom 4-pack of mead, including different hops and flavored meads.

Step 2. Elevate your Session: arts and crafts/games

Fall Team Challenge

Scavenger hunts are an awesome virtual game as they inspire friendly competition and get your teams up and moving. In this Fall edition of our Team Discovery Game, set your team on a quest to gather as many ‘signs of fall’ with an energizing scavenger hunt. Our hilarious game hosts will have your teams racing to find themed items like a cozy sweater, a plaid shirt, a pumpkin, a candle, and much more.

Fall Wreath Making

Our wreath-making experience is a chance for your teams to carry out a hands-on activity, and learn a new skill. Our instructors will teach your team about the significance of wreaths, and with our all-inclusive kits, they will create their own unique craft, perfect for making their home more cozy and welcoming this upcoming holiday season. This is a great way to round off your Fall happy hour experience!

Fall Candle Making

Nothing screams cozy like a beautiful burning candle, so treat your team to a crafty class where they will learn how to pour and assemble homemade soy candles. Your team will receive an all-inclusive kit, and this experience doubles as both a team-building session, and a gift, as the end product will be enjoyed by your teams from the comfort of their home. This experience is extra special as it features some of our favorite holiday scents, like Pine Forest, Apple Cinamon, and Pumpkin Eggnog.

4. Fall virtual happy hour Add-Ons

Build A Playlist

Set the scene with a fun curated playlist that encapsulates the essence of fall and cozy, warm vibes. To make this experience more fun, invite your team to send their playlist recommendations. This is a great way to help the group feel included, and this can make a great backdrop for your virtual happy hour.

Virtual Decorations

Encourage your team to choose a fun fall-inspired virtual background, including warm tones, leaves, pumpkins, fairy lights, or even a rustic table. This can be a great charming touch and can make for a great screenshot to commemorate the event.

Dress The Part

Depending on the team, and their location, it may be possible for them to wear something inspired by fall. While a Halloween costume may be too much to ask for, a flannel or cozy sweater is a great option, and for those in a warmer climate, choosing a fall color palette like orange, purple, green, or brown is a great alternative.
