Water Cooler Trivia sends a weekly quiz to your team through email, Slack or Microsoft Teams for $1 per user per month (watercoolertrivia.com/pricing, checked Oct 2026). If you're comparing alternatives, you probably want something live where people interact in real time, a broader events program, or an in-person meetup after months of async connection. Here are six options across that spectrum.

Alternatives compared

1. Offsiteio

Async trivia keeps people talking. At some point, a distributed team needs to share a room. We plan that whole trip: destination scouting, hotel, meeting space, meals, activities, transfers, and someone from our team on site from start to finish.

Ask for a proposal and in 48 hours you'll get two or three destination options with one per-person price, every line itemized and no hidden fees. Trips typically start around $1,450 per person; real ones have come in between about $1,450 and $2,402. Flights are quoted separately, since remote teams fly in from everywhere. Request one here, free and without commitment.

Best for: remote and hybrid companies planning their first or next in-person gathering. See also our remote team offsites page.

2. Let's Roam

For live trivia-style fun, Let's Roam's virtual catalog includes Coworker Feud, Jeoparody, escape rooms and murder mysteries, mostly about an hour long (letsroam.com, checked Oct 2026). Virtual games start at $35 per person and workshops at $23 (pricing, checked Oct 2026).

Best for: a hosted, real-time game night for a remote team.

3. Confetti

Confetti offers more than 450 live-hosted experiences and 200 self-guided toolkits on its Unlimited plan, spanning celebrations, wellness, onboarding and learning (withconfetti.com/pricing, checked Oct 2026). Plans run from pay-as-you-go to Pre-Fund from $5,000 a year.

Best for: People teams building a regular events calendar.

4. The Go Game

The Go Game runs hosted game shows, hunts and creative formats in person, virtually or hybrid for 10 to 10,000-plus people (thegogame.com, checked Oct 2026). In-person events mostly cost $39 to $99 per player; virtual is typically 30 to 50 percent less, with a $399 floor for small groups (cost page, checked Oct 2026).

Best for: all-hands and kickoffs that want a big, produced moment.

5. Outback Team Building & Training

Outback's virtual menu includes trivia, escape rooms, murder mysteries and charity events, alongside in-person activities and leadership training (outbackteambuilding.com, checked Oct 2026). Pricing is by consultation.

6. Teambuilding.com

Teambuilding.com offers a browsable catalog of hosted virtual, in-person and hybrid events with per-event pricing (teambuilding.com/virtual-team-building, checked Oct 2026).

Best for: comparing lots of hosted virtual formats in one place.

Async, live or in person?

Think of it as three layers. Async tools like Water Cooler Trivia cost little and run every week. Live hosted games cost more and happen monthly or quarterly. In-person offsites cost the most and happen once or twice a year, but they're where trust and planning really happen. Most remote companies end up using all three.

To run live games yourself, see our virtual team building games guide plus the free random team generator and team name generator. When you're ready for the in-person layer, our retreat activities guide shows what a good agenda looks like, and you can request a free Offsiteio proposal to get a real per-person number.
