Perhaps we can say icebreakers are the fastest way to find out who’s been rehearsing their ‘fun fact’ all week. But it doesn’t have to be fun facts.
What else? Well, there’s always super fun icebreaker games that will get everyone talking and laughing in no time.
Here are some ideas that you can steal for your event.
Two Truths and a Lie
How to play:
Each person tells three “facts” about themselves – two true and one false.
Everyone else tries to guess which one is the lie.
The person who guesses right goes next!
You’ll learn weird and funny things about your friends, and maybe even catch them in a fib!
The Name Game
How to play:
Stand in a circle.
The first person says their name and an action (like “Dancing Dave”).
The next person repeats the first person’s name and action, then adds their own.
Keep going until someone messes up!
It helps you remember names AND gives you a good laugh watching your friends do silly actions.
Would You Rather?
How to play:
Come up with funny “would you rather” questions.
Go around the room and have each person answer.
Debate why you chose what you did!
Example: Would you rather have fingers as long as your legs, or legs as short as your fingers?
You’ll get to know people’s weird preferences and have hilarious discussions!
Guess Who?
How to play:
Everyone writes a fun fact about themselves on a piece of paper.
Put all the papers in a bowl.
Take turns pulling out facts and guessing who wrote them.
You might discover your friend has a secret talent or a crazy experience you never knew about!
Categories
How to play:
Pick a category (like “Types of Fruit”).
Go around the circle, with each person naming something in that category.
If you can’t think of anything or repeat something, you’re out!
Last person standing wins.
It’s fast-paced and you might learn some new words!
The Emoji Game
How to play:
Write down movie titles or famous phrases using only emojis.
Have everyone try to guess what they mean.
It’s perfect for the phone-obsessed crowd and can lead to some funny misunderstandings!
Tips for Playing Icebreakers
Start with easier games to warm people up.
Don’t force anyone to play if they’re really uncomfortable.
Join in the fun yourself – don’t just watch!
Have prizes for winners (candy works great).
Be ready to change games if one isn’t working out.
Remember, the point of icebreakers is to have fun and get to know each other. So don’t stress if things get a little silly – that’s part of the fun!

Luckily, venues like Villa Ragusa offer the perfect warm and inviting space for hosting unforgettable winter corporate holiday events.
It’s where the joy of the season is matched by the elegant atmosphere.
Bring the Outdoors In
Villa Ragusa’s grand interior offers a perfect backdrop for bringing a winter wonderland indoors.

Transform a corner with flocked artificial trees into a magical photo area, capturing the essence of winter without the chill. Best thing since sliced bread?
Choose a Warm Color Palette
Well, we all agree that winter’s palette is all about contrast – snow white with a dash of fiery sunset, just to keep things interesting.
But why watch the sunset in snow when there’s Villa Ragusa whose classic elegance and neutral tones are a blank canvas for your firm’s chosen winter color scheme?
Rich, warm colors like deep burgundies, forest greens, and navy blues paired with metallic accents can add a touch of festive sophistication.
Use these colors in linens, décor, and even menu presentation to contrast the chilly winter air outside with warmth and luxury inside.
Create Cozy Nooks
Villa Ragusa’s spacious layout allows you to create intimate seating areas perfect for relaxation.
Arrange plush armchairs, soft throw blankets, and velvet or faux fur cushions to invite guests to settle in for comfortable conversations. These cozy nooks offer a welcome retreat from the dance floor or buffet, making your event feel both elegant and intimate.
Delight the Senses
Villa Ragusa’s ambiance provides the perfect canvas to enhance the sensory experience for your guests. Welcome them with the aromas of cinnamon and pine as they enter, while we serve warm beverages like mulled wine or spiced cider.
Soft jazz renditions of holiday classics fill the space with a sophisticated yet festive mood, ensuring your guests are fully immersed in the winter theme.
Villa Ragusa helps transform your corporate holiday party into an elegant, cozy escape from the cold. Your colleagues will leave feeling connected and refreshed, remembering this winter wonderland event as a highlight of the season.
