I am planning a virtual team bonding event for my team (about 15~ people). If anyone has done similar events in this covid year, I would love to hear your suggestions.

I had recently asked a similar question (while it was for virtual happy hour, some of this can definitely apply to your question).https://elpha.com/posts/y19nl4yp/ideas-for-virtual-happy-hour-games-etc

My company uses Airbnb experiences quite often and we did one that was a chocolate making class, super accessible with very little supplies needed and the guy who did it was great, here’s the link: https://abnb.me/CwGGaVGeyeb
