\u201cCome out, come out, wherever you are!\u201d my boss called, while I trembled beneath the cleaning supplies in the janitor\u2019s closet. As her footsteps drew nearer, I tried to hold my breath and remain as silent as possible when\u2014BANG! The door flung open, and I saw my boss and my coworkers laughing. I was the last one found during our annual game of hide-and-seek, played during our Halloween party. As I crawled out of the closet, grinning from ear to ear, I realized I had won the prize\u2014a desktop aromatherapy machine that would hopefully drown out the strange smell of the lunches reheated in the microwave next to my cubicle.<\/p>\n

I spend all year looking forward to our office parties, whether they end up being hilarious office party gift exchanges<\/a> or a day of spooktacular Halloween party games for adults<\/a>. Things can get stressful during the workweek, but our occasional celebrations melt any tension among coworkers and brighten the office for weeks after.<\/p>\n

Instead of setting out a platter of veggies and dip and calling it a party, at your next work function, why not play a goofy game with your office mates? These fun holiday party games for work parties are great for any occasion, and between the laughter shared and the bonds they create, they\u2019re the perfect way to make your celebration last throughout the year.<\/p>\n

MJ was a total mystery. He always came to work a few hours early to avoid rush hour traffic, and he left early, too, barely saying a word to me throughout the day except for when asking about putting on a new pot of coffee (the answer was always \u201cyes!\u201d). Then my boss asked me to organize a fun holiday party game to celebrate our company\u2019s anniversary. I decided to do a trivia game full of factoids about everyone in the office. Suddenly, I was looking for every excuse to learn more about my coworkers, especially the quiet ones.<\/p>\n

When the big day arrived, I was happy to see everyone talking together\u2014even MJ was joining the conversation! The game was a big hit, and we all headed home knowing each other better than before. What a surprise it was to learn that MJ left early every day so he could get to his favorite Zumba class!<\/p>\n
