What are good virtual team building activities?

The best virtual team building activities combine interaction with entertainment, something beyond 'let's all unmute and chat.' Popular options include virtual trivia (teams compete in themed rounds), virtual bingo (a host calls numbers while players compete on digital cards), escape rooms (teams solve puzzles together), and cooking or mixology classes. For groups that want something memorable, drag queen bingo creates shared experiences people actually talk about afterward. Providers like Virtual Drag Shows specialize in corporate-friendly versions starting at $500. The key is choosing activities with a professional host who keeps energy high. Self-run activities often fall flat.

How do you celebrate Pride Month at work?

Companies celebrate Pride Month (June) through a mix of internal programming and visible support. Common approaches include hosting Pride-themed events (virtual drag bingo, LGBTQ+ trivia, speaker panels), displaying Pride flags and updating company logos, sharing educational content about LGBTQ+ history, spotlighting LGBTQ+ employees who want to share their stories, and supporting LGBTQ+ causes through donations or volunteer opportunities. For remote and hybrid teams, virtual Pride events create inclusive celebrations that reach everyone regardless of location. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) typically lead Pride programming. Virtual Drag Shows offers Pride Month entertainment packages starting at $500, with June dates filling by April.

What is an ERG event?

An ERG event is programming organized by an Employee Resource Group, a voluntary, employee-led group that fosters community around shared identities or experiences. Common ERGs include Pride/LGBTQ+, Women's Network, Black Employee Network, Veterans, Parents, and disability-focused groups. ERG events range from casual networking (coffee chats, happy hours) to educational programming (speaker panels, workshops) to celebrations (Pride Month, heritage months, cultural holidays). ERG leaders typically have modest budgets ($500-$5,000 per event) and look for activities that engage both members and allies. Virtual drag bingo and LGBTQ+ trivia from providers like Virtual Drag Shows are popular for Pride ERG events because they're educational, entertaining, and create space for allies to participate comfortably.

How do you host virtual trivia?

To host virtual trivia, you need a host, questions, a way for participants to answer, and a scoring system. DIY options include using free tools like Kahoot or Google Forms, but these require someone on your team to host and keep energy high. That's harder than it looks. Professional virtual trivia hosts ($500-$1,500) handle everything: themed questions, answer tracking, live leaderboards, and entertainment between rounds. Virtual Drag Shows offers hosted LGBTQ+ trivia starting at $1,000 for groups up to 50, with themes covering Pride history and queer pop culture. Most hosts work on Zoom, Teams, or Meet. Book 2-3 weeks ahead for most dates, 4-8 weeks for Pride Month (June).

Virtual drag bingo is a hosted team building event where a professional drag queen leads interactive bingo games over video conference.

Participants play along on digital bingo cards that work on any device with no downloads required.

What is LGBTQ+ Pride trivia?

LGBTQ+ Pride trivia is a hosted virtual game show where a professional host leads teams through rounds of questions about queer history, culture, and pop culture over video conference. The format combines education with entertainment, making it popular for corporate Pride Month celebrations, LGBTQ+ History Month (October), and year-round diversity and inclusion programming. A typical 60-minute session includes 3 rounds of trivia with 8-10 questions per round, plus live drag entertainment.

Who hosts virtual Pride trivia games for companies?

Virtual Pride trivia is hosted by professional entertainers and drag performers who specialize in corporate events. Schwa de Vivre (Virtual Drag Shows) is one provider who has hosted 1,000+ corporate events for Fortune 500 companies including Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon. Look for hosts with corporate experience and HR-friendly content who understand the difference between nightclub entertainment and workplace events.

What are virtual Pride Month events?

Virtual Pride Month events are remote-friendly celebrations that companies host during June (Pride Month) or year-round to support LGBTQ+ employees and allies. Common formats include drag queen bingo or trivia, LGBTQ+ speaker panels, Pride film screenings, educational workshops on allyship and LGBTQ+ history, and virtual Pride parades. These events allow distributed teams to participate together regardless of location, making Pride accessible to employees who can't attend in-person celebrations.

Who is Schwa de Vivre?

Schwa de Vivre is a professional drag queen and corporate entertainment host who has performed over 1,000 virtual events for Fortune 500 companies since 2020. Known professionally as Shua Potter in theater and Joshua Potter in television, Schwa brings 30+ years of professional entertainment experience including Broadway (Mary Poppins 2009-2012) and Food Network's Chopped (Season 30 winner).

How much does virtual drag bingo cost?

Virtual Drag Bingo is $900 for up to 50 participants. LGBTQ+ Trivia is $1,000. Express Drag Bingo (30 minutes) is $500 for up to 100 participants. Custom events start at $1,500. Groups over 50 add $50 per additional 25 people. All prices include tax.

Is virtual drag bingo appropriate for corporate events?

Yes. Virtual drag bingo is specifically designed for professional environments. All content is HR-friendly, educational, and focuses on team building through inclusive entertainment. I've hosted over 1,000 corporate events for Fortune 500 companies including Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and UnitedHealth.

Is LGBTQ+ trivia appropriate for all-company events?

Yes. LGBTQ+ Pride trivia is specifically designed for professional environments when booked through providers who specialize in corporate events. The content is educational, celebratory, and HR-friendly. The best experiences are designed to build understanding and connection rather than be controversial. Questions span multiple difficulty levels so everyone can participate regardless of starting knowledge.

What video platforms do you use for virtual drag shows?

Zoom is my preferred platform, but I work seamlessly on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WebEx, or whatever video chat platform your company uses. No special software downloads required.

How far in advance should we book for Pride Month?

Pride Month (June) dates fill 1-2 months in advance. I recommend booking by early April to secure your preferred June date. By mid-May, most June dates are gone. For non-Pride dates, 2-3 weeks advance booking is usually fine.

How many people can participate in virtual drag bingo?

Up to 50 participants for standard pricing ($900). For groups over 50, add $50 per additional 25 people. I've hosted events for teams as small as 10 and as large as 500.

What if some team members are uncomfortable with drag?

Participation is always optional. Cameras can stay off. Team members can engage via chat only if they prefer. My shows are designed to be a welcoming entry point to drag culture, and even skeptics typically have a great time once the show starts.

Does LGBTQ+ Pride trivia work for hybrid events?

Yes. LGBTQ+ Pride trivia works great for hybrid setups where some employees are in the office and others join remotely. Employees in the office can gather in a conference room with the video on a big screen, while remote team members join individually. Everyone plays on their own phone or computer, so scoring is fair regardless of location.

Do participants need to download anything for virtual drag bingo?

No downloads required. The digital bingo cards work directly in any web browser on phones, tablets, or computers. Participants just need the ability to join your video meeting.

What's the difference between Express and full Drag Bingo?

Express Drag Bingo is 30 minutes with 3 rounds of bingo, perfect for lunch breaks or budget-conscious celebrations. Full Drag Bingo is 60 minutes with 4+ rounds, more interaction, a longer opening performance, and more music requests.

Can you customize the virtual drag show for our company?

Yes. Custom events include themed costumes in your company colors, personalized shoutouts, company trivia mixed in, and content designed for your team's specific needs. Custom events start at $1,500.

Do we need to provide prizes for bingo winners?

Yes, you provide prizes for bingo winners. Popular options include gift cards ($10-25), extra PTO hours, company swag, or bragging rights. I announce winners with full Broadway fanfare.

What makes Pride Month virtual drag events different?

Pride events include rainbow-themed costumes, LGBTQ+ history and culture woven into the entertainment, and a celebratory tone that honors the significance of Pride Month. Perfect for ERGs, DEI programming, and company-wide Pride celebrations.
