Networking events can feel a little slow at first.
People hang near the snacks.
They check their name tags.
They look around, waiting for someone else to make the first move.
That’s why it's SO wise for networking event planners like to have a few simple games on hand that make it easier for everyone to start talking without any pressure.
Printable games are perfect for this because they’re fast, easy, and give people something fun to do right away.
The game pack event coordinators and operations managers reach for the most is my Office Party Mega Games Bundle.
It has nineteen different workplace-friendly games that help people open up, laugh, and mingle naturally.
You can print as many as you want and just set them out on a table.
People pick them up on their own, which is exactly what you want at a mixer.
What’s Inside the Mega Bundle
It has a nice mix of games that work well in professional settings. A few go-tos for mixers are:
- Finish the Phrase
- Find the Guest
- Office Slang
- Answer Fast
- Scavenger Hunt Bingo
- Office Speak
- Candy Dice
These help people connect without anything awkward or cheesy.
They’re low-pressure and get people talking fast.

Other Networking Icebreakers You Might Like
If you want to rotate in a few more ideas throughout the year, these two pair perfectly with professional groups.
Office Interview Role Play
A funny interview-style game with ridiculous job titles. I created it because my husband has VERY strong feelings about long meetings, and it became such a funny idea that I had to turn it into a game. His coworkers loved it.
His coworkers tested this one out, and they were cracking up!
Office Party Scavenger Hunt
A light, movement-based game you can hide around your event space. It breaks up standing-around energy and immediately gets people engaging.
Final Thoughts
Networking doesn’t have to feel stiff or uncomfortable.
A few simple activities can make it easier for people to talk, laugh, and find their footing in the room.
Try the Office Party Mega Games Bundle the next time you host a mixer or professional meetup.
It gives people a reason to interact right away and makes the event feel a lot more welcoming.
Your guests will appreciate it.
