I don't mean to imply that introverts like movies and extraverts don't. Only that, as a manager of developers, you should seek to understand the type of people on your team along many different dimensions, introversion and extraversion being one of them. Then cater your activities for those particular people. What worked for the mix of people on my team may not necessarily work for the mix of people on your team.

Isnt it the case that introverts are more comfortable in small groups of people they know well? As long as your team does not have 40+ members, most introverts should be perfectly happy in restaurant with their team.

Some of introverts I know consider themselves extroverts, cause they get very talkative and funny in their group of their friends.

Yup, totally true. Introversion != shyness.
