After another hectic year, the season of joy is finally here!

Although we’re still working apart (if you’re not you totally should) it doesn’t mean that the office Christmas spirit is ruined. After all, there is no better way to get in the Christmas spirit than with…spirits.
No for real though, let’s get you in the holiday spirit with oVice!

What’s oVice? 🤔

oVice is a 2D virtual space for people who are in need of real-world interaction.
The space can be tailored to your needs so you can meet your team, friends, or community in one place and socialize using video or voice calls.
oVice allows you to keep up with everyone inside your space and it combines social and business interaction to make communication more natural. And the best part about it is that you can try it for FREE!

If it’s the first time you’re hearing about it, you’re missing out! Go try it now.

It’s time to make the Christmas season brighter!
#Online Edition

  1. Make your office Christmassy
    This is obviously a must-to-do. Since oVice features many customizable elements, you can change the vibe at your virtual office and make it jolly and festive!
    You can either add some decorations like Christmas lights, a tree, some cozy Christmas Jazz music, or change the whole layout background.
    Check the image below for reference.

2. Create holiday cards
To make the team spirit festive, split your team into small groups and have each one create their own Christmas card using Canva templates. At the end of the design challenge, ask each group to show off their Christmas cards, and have everyone vote on the best one or the funniest one.

3. Design your own Christmas avatars
Get crafty for Christmas by decorating your avatar image. You can also add a bunch of avatar images to your virtual space to be set as the default profile picture for any incoming visitors.
You can even run a small contest on the best Christmas-themed avatar image.
Check the image below for a reference.

4. Add a Christmas photo booth
Virtual booths are the biggest trend amongst virtual spaces created at oVice. Team members can place their avatars on the circle area and take a screenshot where it looks like they’re disguised as snowmen or Santas 😂Then, they can upload the screenshot on social media.

5. Play X vs. O
You can add a game zone in your virtual space where the host asks a question for the party attendees and they will pick either X or O by placing their avatar on the circle.

6. Play Scavenger Hunt
No one says no to scavenger hunts! You can have multiple items scattered around your virtual space layout image and add a board so people can read the rules. Then, you can split your team into 2 groups to make things more competitive and the first group who completes the list should give a dare to the other group.

7. Organize a secret Santa
This classic gift exchange isn’t just for in-office Christmas parties. You can use Elfster to take the tradition online. It will automatically pair a gift-giver with a recipient, supplying the recipient’s name and address so givers can send their gifts ahead of time. Your team members can even make a wish list so their secret Santa knows exactly what they want. On the day of your event, attendees can show off their secret Santa gifts and guess who they came from.

8. Live virtual travel
You can add a YouTube static object inside your virtual space and paste a link to a live stream of a Christmas atmosphere in Russia or watch a winter cab view from two of the most scenic railways in the world!

9. Name that Christmas tune
This game is really fun and it usually ends up with karaoke 😂
Just open up a YouTube Christmas playlist, and play 10 to 20 seconds of each song. Have your team members guess the song title and offer a themed prize for the winner (like a pair of headphones, a Bluetooth speaker, or a collection of Christmas records).
