“An HR told us after Diwali: “People stayed on the call even after the game ended. That never happens.”
This Diwali, our clients used ExtraMile Play to celebrate in ways that felt right for them.
Some played Diwali Squad Games. Others went with Diwali Bigg Boss. A few chose Diwali-themed Jeopardy. Green Diwali sparked real conversations about sustainability. Diwali Family Games brought kids and spouses onto screens.
We weren’t sure how it would land. Diwali can feel exclusive if you’re not careful, and forced celebrations are worse than no celebrations.
But then the feedback came.
“”People who never join activities actually showed up.””
“”Someone brought their toddler on screen and the whole team melted.””
“”Our quietest team member led the squad and everyone went crazy cheering.””
One manager wrote: “”This didn’t feel like an office event. It just felt warm.””
That’s what stuck with us.
Real inclusion isn’t about making everyone participate. It’s about creating space where people want to. Where celebration doesn’t feel like a checklist.
Where play brings people together without making it transactional.
We built ExtraMile Play for moments like this. Not to run mandatory fun. But to help teams connect in ways that feel human, not mechanical.
What made your team’s Diwali feel genuine this year?”
