What are the best office Christmas party games in the Bay Area?
The best office Christmas party games in the Bay Area for a busy team are the ones somebody else runs. Each of the five below includes a professional lead: a comedy MC for the game show, Game Masters for the two station challenges, facilitators for the board game session, and an emcee plus team quizmasters for the trivia. Three of the five come to your office, one runs at its own San Francisco location and one is online.

Office game shows and challenges that come to you
These three are listed as Travels to You and are listed by the same host. None of the three listing pages names a service area, so put your office address in the request.
Company Feud: The Corporate Game Show Experience
A survey-style corporate game show run by a professional comedy MC. Coworkers volunteer, or are volunteered, as contestants, and teams compete on pre-written survey questions that the listing says stay professional for an office. Projectors, AV equipment, a game host and prizes are part of the price. Custom rounds about your company culture, inside jokes or products are an upgrade, so ask what they add. Its own text names company holiday parties. Berkeley-based; weekday hours only.
Book nowStunt Showdown Challenge, High-Energy Team Competition
A station-to-station challenge run by in-person Game Masters: teams try to stack five apples into a tower, stack lip balm tubes with chopsticks and build a cereal box domino rally while blindfolded, then face off head-to-head. Scores are tracked and the event ends by crowning a winning team, with prizes included. It takes 10 to 200 guests, so it suits large groups. Based in Redwood City and listed as Travels to You; weekday hours only.
Book nowThe Decathlon: Ultimate Team-Building Challenge Experience
A greatest-hits mix of original games and puzzles, which the listing says were crafted over 15+ years, run on site by Game Masters. Sample games include Catch-a-Sketch, a drawing twist played on a flying Frisbee, and decoding a password from jelly bean flavors. You can ask for a sportier or brainier mix, and the listing calls it outdoor-friendly for parks or open venues. A kit and prizes are included. San Francisco listing for 15 to 45 guests; weekday hours to 8 PM.
Book nowAll three include prizes. In the game show, volunteers play as contestants in a team competition, while in the Stunt Showdown Challenge and The Decathlon teams rotate between challenges. All three list weekday hours only; see the time-slot notes below before you pick an evening or weekend date.
A board game session in San Francisco and virtual trivia
If you would rather leave the office, or half the team is remote, these two cover it. The board game session takes place at its own San Francisco location, and the trivia runs online for in-office, hybrid or remote teams.
Strategic Board Game Experience
A facilitated board game session at a San Francisco location, with the venue and games included. Facilitators pick games for your team's size and energy, explain the format and keep play moving as teams rotate between games, so nobody reads a rulebook. You can steer it toward communication, problem solving, leadership or creativity. It takes 2 to 100 guests, and the listing recommends booking between 2 and 6 PM; it is open weekday afternoons and evenings and from noon on weekends.
Book nowVirtual Rapid Fire Trivia (Hosted Team Building)
Hosted online trivia for remote, hybrid or in-office teams. An emcee runs the full group, a dedicated quizmaster joins each small team, and six themed rounds of 7 minutes per category lead to a double-points final. Themes include Holiday Music, Winter Sports and Holidays Around the World, and custom rounds are available. It runs about 60 minutes, takes 10 to 1,000 guests and is the only package here with instant booking.
Book nowFor a remote team, the trivia is the hosted choice among virtual holiday party games here; our virtual white elephant and holiday party games guide adds a hosted gift swap for remote teams. For more activities in the city, browse team experiences in San Francisco.

How much do hosted office Christmas party games cost?
Hosted office Christmas party games in the Bay Area cost $875.00 to $3,175.00 for a team of 25 across the five packages on this page (n = 5, checked October 28, 2026), with a median of $2,500.00, before tax, fees and gratuity. All five take 25 guests. Using each listed price:
- Board game session: 25 x $35.00 = $875.00 ($35.00 per guest)
- Virtual trivia: 25 x $40.00 = $1,000.00 ($40.00 per guest)
- Company Feud: $2,500.00 fixed price for 10 to 30 guests ($100.00 per guest at 25)
- The Decathlon: $1,000.00 + 25 x $86.00 = $3,150.00 ($126.00 per guest)
- Stunt Showdown Challenge: $1,250.00 + 25 x $77.00 = $3,175.00 ($127.00 per guest)
For 100 guests only three of the five fit: the board game session at $3,500.00 (100 x $35.00), the trivia at $4,000.00 (100 x $40.00) and the Stunt Showdown Challenge at $8,950.00 ($1,250.00 + 100 x $77.00), all before tax, fees and gratuity. A fixed price favors a full room: Company Feud works out to $250.00 per guest at 10 and about $83.33 at 30. These totals do not include food, drinks or Company Feud's optional custom rounds. Company Feud and the Stunt Showdown Challenge list a restaurant or hotel venue among their inclusions even though they travel to you, so confirm with the host whether any room is covered before you plan the party at your office.
Which Christmas party games for adults can you run yourself?
Christmas party games for adults can also be run by a coworker with a little preparation. These five are general ideas, not EIM packages:
- White elephant gift swap: set a price limit and a steal limit before the first gift is opened.
- Team holiday trivia: four to six people per team, five rounds, one scorekeeper.
- Name that holiday tune: play the first few seconds of a song from a playlist and award points per team.
- Holiday drawing relay: one teammate draws a holiday word while the rest guess against a timer.
- One-minute stacking challenges: cups, cookies or candy canes, with a tower height to beat.
The trade-off is time: someone has to write the questions, buy the props and keep score while everyone else plays. If that is the reason nobody volunteers, a hosted game takes it off the list. For more party formats, see our office holiday party ideas.
How to plan games for the office Christmas party
When to book for a December party
If your party falls between Friday, December 4 and Saturday, December 19, 2026, request it now; as general advice, December Fridays fill first. Company Feud, the Stunt Showdown Challenge, The Decathlon and the trivia show a strict cancellation policy described as up to 30 days before the event; for a Friday, December 11 party, 30 days before is November 11, so read the terms on each listing before you confirm. The board game session lists a moderate policy (up to 14 days before). Four of the five are request to book, so the host confirms your date before the booking is final; the trivia is instant book and confirms immediately. Our holiday party planning timeline sets out the rest of the countdown.
Pick a time slot the listing covers
Listed hours decide when the game can start. Company Feud and the Stunt Showdown Challenge list weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM, so they suit a daytime or late-afternoon office party. The Decathlon lists weekdays to 8 PM. The board game session lists weekdays from 2 PM to 10 PM and weekends from noon, and its listing recommends a start between 2 and 6 PM. All hours are shown in Pacific time; for anything outside them, ask the host before you request.
Match the game to your headcount
Group size is the quickest filter. Company Feud takes 10 to 30 guests, The Decathlon 15 to 45, the board game session 2 to 100, the Stunt Showdown Challenge 10 to 200 and the trivia 10 to 1,000. For a small team of 7 to 12, a Squid Game VR team challenge in San Francisco ($750.00 fixed price, two private VR rooms) names holiday parties among its uses; its description does not mention a game host or facilitator running the session, so it is not one of the five hosted cards.
Room and setup at your office
Company Feud lists projectors, AV equipment and a game host in its price, and its listing calls it an indoor event. The Stunt Showdown Challenge lists AV equipment, projectors and event staff, and its teams rotate through multiple challenge stations, so plan floor space for them. The Decathlon includes a kit, and its listing calls it outdoor-friendly for beaches, parks or open venues. The board game session includes its venue and games, and the trivia runs online.
Add food, entertainment and a venue
A one- to two-hour game is one block of the party. For the rest, see our guides to office holiday party catering, holiday party entertainers and holiday party venues in San Francisco, or book a visit from Santa Claus for hire in the Bay Area to close the afternoon.

Christmas party games for adults that need no host include a white elephant gift swap, team holiday trivia, name that holiday tune, a drawing relay and one-minute stacking challenges. They cost little but need one organizer to prepare questions, props and scoring. A hosted game hands that work to a professional, which is why the five packages on this page include a host, emcee, facilitator or Game Masters.
