5 Fun Games You Can Play On Zoom
Apr. 3, 2020 Two Scots Abroad
1. Name in the Bag/Guess Who?
You know that popular Christmas Day game where you put the celeb names on post-it notes and stick it on someone’s head?
Then your loved one has to guess who it is?
Well, Name in the Bag is not just for Christmas!
Don’t let the player see who they are until they’ve guessed correctly or run out of guesses!
There is the popular app version called Heads Up which you can download on Android and on Apple but it might be a little fast-paced for video call software.
2. Houseparty
Free, fun and fast to set up, Houseparty is a game available on IOS, Android, Chrome and Mac.
Coined ‘Facetime plus games’, the software is a video call software and quizmaster rolled into one.
Play Heads Up (like Celeb in the Bag), Pictionary and Quick Draw.
I’ve found the Android app works better than the IOS on my Macbook.
Sometimes my friend couldn’t start a game but I could.
Be patient and you’ll get there!
I never hook up free apps to other apps like Facebook etc. Don’t want to share content between apps.
3. Jackbox
Once everyone has exhausted HouseParty they move on to Jackbox!
Jackbox Games has a variety of individual games and games packages for sale.
Packages include bluffing games, drawing games, fill in the blank, sound effects and trivia.
Jackbox can be played over every device going from laptops to game consoles, phones to desktops.
