Office Games That Need No Materials

Run charades, rapid categories, bluff spotting, and team questions without printing or buying supplies.

Use a shared prompt screen

A browser can replace printed slips by displaying one charades prompt or category at a time. The host only needs a screen that the actor can read without revealing the prompt to the guessing team.

Turn conversation into the game

Spot the Bluff and trivia rely on discussion rather than equipment. Teams compare what they know, choose a response, and learn the explanation before the next round begins.

Keep scoring optional

For a casual break, applause and a quick result may be enough. If the group wants competition, award one point per correct answer or guessed prompt and write the totals on a whiteboard or in chat.

Plan for the room you have

No-material does not mean no preparation at all. Check that everyone can hear, decide how teams will answer, and select a game that works without asking people to move furniture or share personal details.
