And lastly, we have a perfect icebreaker game for joke lovers.

The whole concept of this game is very similar to Cards Against Humanity, and it helps you to feel more comfortable with your team. The rules are simple: you need to fill the blank space on the cards and make absurd sentences out of them (the crazier, the better). Then, the player who’s picked the original card will choose a fave answer, which will get the point.

The one who’ll earn 7 points first wins the game, but in most cases, it doesn’t matter, as the fun is way more important. You need 3 people to pay against (which may not work for big companies, but you can take turns). For now, the app covers over 1K question cards and almost 7K of answers, so no worries here.

It also comes with a built-in chat, so you can communicate with coworkers even if you all work from home.

Plus, the app lets you create custom question and answer cards, so feel free to have fun and joke with coworkers.
