Looking for ways to bring some St Patrick's fun to your workplace this March 17th? Here are some of our picks for the best St. Patrick's Day office games to get your whole team into the Irish spirit!
1. St. Patrick's Day Trivia
Test your team's knowledge of history, culture, pop culture, and St. Patrick's Day traditions. You can create your own trivia and host yourself, or lose the stress and prep with trying out a trivia/game based platform!
Pro tip: Use pre-curated games like CrowdParty's St. Patrick's Day Party room to run trivia, Would You Rather, and other game rounds without any setup. It's browser-based, so everyone can join from their phone or laptop. That meansno downloads or Zoom integrations required!
2. Office Scavenger Hunt (St. Patrick's Day Edition)
Scavenger hunts are a fun way to get your team up and moving, making them the perfect activity for festive occasions like St. Patrick’s Day!
To start off, think of a list of items or challenges that your team can complete such as:
- Take a photo of something green in your home
- Take a photo of a coworker wearing green
- Screenshot a four-leaf clover emoji hidden in a Slack channel
- Locate a "pot of gold" (a hidden treat or prize) somewhere in the office
- Snap a photo of the most creative St. Patrick's Day desk decoration
3. "Would You Rather" — St. Patrick's Day Edition
Would You Rather questions are guaranteed conversation starters, especially when they're themed!
Some examples:
- Would you rather find a pot of gold or have unlimited luck for a year?
- Would you rather live in Ireland for a year or have an Irish accent for a year?
- Would you rather eat only potatoes for a month or drink only green smoothies for a month?
4. Leprechaun Prank Challenge
Challenge each team or department to set up a harmless, creative "St. Patrick's prank" in the office.
Here are some ideas to bring on laughs and great memories!:
- Green-dyed water in the break room
- Paint tiny footprints leading to a hidden treasure or "pot of gold"
- Place a mischievous leprechaun on a coworker's desk!
5. Host a St. Patrick's SocialBingo!
Create a SocialBingo game with St. Patrick's Day–themed prompts like "who wears green the most," "has visited Ireland," "knows an Irish song," or "has a lucky charm." Players can mingle (in person or virtually) to find teammates who match each square!
SocialBingo is a great low-pressure activity that gets the team talking with members they might not normally interact with...exactly the kind of cross-team connection that builds stronger workplace culture!
SocialBingo works either virtually or in person, so hop on CrowdParty and give it a try!
Tips for Making Your St. Patrick's Day Event a Hit
Keep it short and sweet. A 20–30 minute game during a team meeting is often the sweet spot!
Make it inclusive. Frame your event around fun and team bonding rather than the holiday itself!
Don't overthink the setup. A simple trivia game or quick scavenger hunt will always beat an elaborate event that never gets off the ground!
Let people play on their own schedule. Different time zones? Consider running activities async so everyone can participate when it works for them!
