The short answer, Sara, is that you should play Jeopardy. Everyone loves Jeopardy, and Jeopardy Labs allows you to create boards with any categories you want, whether obscure art history or obscure office in-jokes. (I swear this is not sponcon for this random website.) The closest thing to fun I have experienced during many, many quarantine virtual hangouts were the ones involving Jeopardy.
That said, we are missing one crucial piece of information: How big is your office? Jeopardy isn’t going to work with more than five or six people, and it’s no fun to watch other people play trivia. The vast majority of activities that can be played online, in fact, are going to be much, much less fun with more than a handful of people. Games are out if you don’t have a tiny workplace.

Dear OOO,
I m sneaking into my officeâwhich isn t illegal or anything; I m following company protocol and doing it safely. But most of my colleagues aren t approved to go in, and I know some of them would love to. The secret is, I m pretty happy to be away from everything else.

I could try to advocate for my colleagues to be allowed in the office too, but I like being here alone, and I am afraid that if I draw attention to the fact that I m going in, the company will cut off my access too. Should I feel bad about this?
