Are you hosting an office farewell party for a coworker who’s leaving? To ensure everyone has a great time and the honoree leaves their time at the office with a bang, here are 20 super fun office farewell party games you’ve got to check out. We’ve got these 20 games divided into in-person office farewell party games and virtual office farewell party game ideas.
IN-PERSON OFFICE FAREWELL PARTY GAMES FOR COWORKERS
Hosting an in-person party for your coworker? Check out these 10 farewell party game ideas!
1. WHO SAID IT?
Before the party, you’ll need to prep a list of phrases that coworkers have said around the office. Spend a week or two jotting down these phrases on your phone. Then, at the party, say each of these quotes out loud one by one and have everyone guess who said what.
2. CHARADES
Charades is a classic parlor game you can play in any setting. However, to put a bit of a farewell party game twist on it, prepare phrases and actions based on office life or inside jokes if all of you are particularly close. Then, play as normal, with one player miming the phrase to the best of their ability. The first person to guess correctly gets to go next.
3. OFFICE SCAVENGER HUNT
What can be more fun than a scavenger hunt at an office farewell party? This game will have everyone scouring the office looking for items or places the clues point to. Try to make these hints something related to the coworker that’s leaving, such as their favorite office mug or preferred meeting room. The first player or team to find all the items/places on the scavenger hunt wins.
4. PHOTO RECREATION
Before the party, collect some photos of the leaving coworker’s time at the office. These photos can range from random times at the office to team outings and parties over the years. If there aren’t too many photos of the coworker’s time at the office, ask the coworker for some funny photos they can provide, or simply gather some photos from their social media.
Now, at the party, reveal the photos one by one and have everyone recreate the photo. Best recreations win.
5. PIN THE TIE ON THE COWORKER
You’ve heard of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. But obviously, instead of a donkey, you’ll get a cutout of a person and print a photo of the departing coworker’s face to stick onto the body. Then, give each player a tie that they’ll need to pin onto the coworker while blindfolded. The player who manages to pin the tie on the coworker best wins.

6. OFFICE KARAOKE
Why not end your coworker’s time at the office with some good old karaoke? Blast on some karaoke songs and have everyone sing along for some fun! You could also grab a mic and have players perform their best karaoke song in front of everyone.
7. THE OFFICE ROAST
If singing is not everyone’s strong suit, a great alternative is hosting an office roast of the honoree! Remember to keep it light-hearted and have everyone prepare a short roast before the party.
8. WHO’S THAT BABY?
Before the party, have every coworker send through their baby photo. Then, display these baby photos one by one to have everyone guess which baby photo is which.
9. TIME CAPSULE
Time Capsule is a wholesome way to end your departing coworker’s time at the office. Have everyone write a nice note for the colleague to open exactly one year from now, so that they can think back to their time and reminisce. Collect these notes and put them in a nice jar with a note on the top that says, “Do not open till [date].”
10. BUCKET LIST BUILDER
Since a farewell party is also a new beginning for your coworker, build a bucket list for your coworker by having everyone write one thing to add to the coworker’s bucket list. Collect all these bucket list items and put them in a jar or box for the coworker to take home.
FUN VIRTUAL FAREWELL PARTY GAMES
Even if you’re hosting an office farewell party virtually, you can have just as much fun. Here are 10 virtual farewell party games that you can easily play to say goodbye to your coworker.
11. TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE
Two Truths and a Lie is one of the best team-building games out there, and it works really well as a farewell party game too. In this game, every player must say out loud three facts about themselves, one of which is false. The rest of the party must vote on which fact they believe to be false.
12. WOULD YOU RATHER
Would You Rather is another similar game you can play in any setting, including a farewell party. Before the party, ask the departing coworker a set of Would You Rather questions, asking them to choose between two options. Here are some Would You Rather questions to get you started:
- Would you rather go back in time or go forward in time?
- Would you rather wrestle a gorilla or two alligators?
- Would you rahter solve world hunger or cure cancer?
Then, at the party, reveal these questions one by one and have everyone guess the departing coworker’s answers.

Then, simply ask everybody to add words onto the word cloud that best describe the leaving coworker. Finally, when the word cloud is complete, download it and gift it to the honoree.
14. CARE PACKAGE

- Chocolate
- Notebook
15. VIRTUAL SCAVENGER HUNT
Did you know you can also host a scavenger hunt virtually? In a virtual scavenger hunt, just like a normal scavenger hunt, you provide everybody with a list of things to find. However, in this case, players must find these objects within their home, office, or coworking space. These items can be something like:
- The departing coworker’s favorite fruit
- The departing coworker’s favorite color
- A portrait of the departing coworker
- An item of clothing that the departing coworker would wear
Then, everyone must show everything they’ve found within a specified timeframe to the screen.
16. NEVER HAVE I EVER
What about playing a few rounds of Never Have I Ever as one of the virtual office farewell party games? While this game is generally played in a non-work party setting, you can make it more SFW by asing more work-friendly Never Have I Ever questions, such as:

Have everyone start with 10 fingers up and put a finger down for everything they’ve done.
