Wavy offers experiences for flexible teams, which means we have options for paid hosted events, free DIY events, and custom events!
- Hosted Experiences — We offer a curated collection of virtual experiences guided by a subject matter expert or engaging host. Our online events range from 30 - 90 minutes and are hosted via Zoom. We offer a wide range of experiences including games, arts, wellness, learning, and more! Check out our marketplace of experiences here.
