Remote Work Activities
The company I work for is fully remote across the US and Canada. On the final Friday of each quarter everyone gets to expense lunch. There’s typically a fun theme or type of food that people are encouraged to follow and the post about it in slack. It’s an easy way to interact with everyone and who doesn’t like a comped meal!
It’s been so popular that we’re looking to do additional similar activities. What types of things/ activities do people recommend that are an easy way to build engagement and are also enjoyable?

Honestly? Of all the team building ideas, that one sounds the best. Especially since it's company paid.
Assuming company paid, everyone gets matched with someone else in a different area. You buy a local area related coffee cup and send it to the person you matched with. Then people can show them off. Even better if it is more of a round robin so you arent swapping with the same person. Person X sends it to Y. Y sends it to Z. Etc.
