Ideas of social events

Hello all,

In this thread, I'd like to collect ideas on how to organize social things during the hackathon. Usually in an IRL event we would go for dinner, have a drink, have a concert or a party, play board games, hang out in a park...

What are activities that we can do online, and will allow us to:

  • relax, take a break
  • connect with people on a more personal level
  • create a common feeling of community

All suggestions are welcome!

Here are the ideas that were already mentioned here and there:

  • have a "social" channel for non-work related discussions
  • play online games
  • have an audio or video channel were people can hang out
  • have a virtual happy hour
  • have an online concert
  • have a channel to post pictures of your food (bonus: reminds people to take a break and eat)
  • post pictures of cats, plants, or other living-beings in your house
