# A December team-building game for work

https://9daily.golf/guides/december-team-building · Updated 11 November 2026 · by the 9Daily team, Berlin

December is busy at work: year-end deadlines, holiday parties, half the team already on leave. A 9Daily league gives your team one small shared moment a day: the same nine holes for everyone, a few minutes, and a champion every week.

**In short**

- Everyone on the team plays the same nine-hole 9Daily course each day, in the browser, in a few minutes.
- A 9Daily league is free: a name and a link, up to 50 people. Every Monday it crowns last week’s champion.
- No golf needed: you tap where the ball should go and hold to swing, and 9Daily picks the club.
- One round a day counts, so 9Daily stays a short break and nobody has to block time in the calendar.

## Why does a daily game help a team in December?

A 9Daily round is small on purpose: a few minutes, once a day, the same course for everyone. A team gets a shared topic beyond deadlines, in the office, at home and on the train.

A daily game is no replacement for a team event, and nobody has to take part. 9Daily works as an invitation: whoever plays joins the conversation.

## What does a shared daily game do for a team?

- **A shared topic:** Everyone played the same 9Daily course, so the coffee break has something to talk about beyond work.
- **Short and fair:** One round a day, a few minutes, and the same nine holes for the intern and the boss.
- **Something to look forward to:** The new course arrives at midnight local time, and the week’s champion is crowned on Monday.
- **Across locations:** Remote, hybrid or in the office: everyone plays their own calendar day, and the league compares the same course.

## What does a 9Daily day look like for a team?

- **00:00 · New course:** The day’s 9Daily course arrives at midnight local time, wherever each colleague is.
- **AM · One round:** A few minutes with the first coffee, on the phone or the laptop.
- **Lunch · Hole 7:** Talk about the round once everyone has played: 9Daily shows the others’ scores only after your own.
- **Mon · Champion:** Every Monday 9Daily crowns last week’s champion, with a card for the team channel.

## How do you run a 9Daily December challenge for the team?

1. **League from 30 November:** One person creates a free 9Daily account, taps New league on the Leaderboard and names it, for example “Advent Cup”.
2. **Link in the channel:** Post the link in Slack, Teams or the team chat. Up to 50 people per league; bigger companies start one per team.
3. **Monday results:** Every Monday 9Daily crowns last week’s champion and makes a card to share in the channel.
4. **Final at the party:** The league history shows who won the most weeks. Announce the December champion at the holiday party.

## Do colleagues need to know golf for 9Daily?
