Virtual Game Night
Best Online Group Games to Play Remotely

Though the virtual isn’t a replacement for all things personal, it can be an excellent substitute for playing games. There are a number of ways you can play online with friends, including through your smartphone and via screen sharing. Here are five great group games that you can try together while staying at home.

Mario Kart Tour

Cute, fast-paced, and capable of providing hours of fun, Mario Kart is always a top party game. Mario Kart Tour, which is available for both iOS and Android, brings the experience to your phone. Rather than gathering around a console, you and seven of your friends can open the app and start racing in multiplayer mode. Customize your race rules and select from either classic Mario Kart courses or iconic, real-world locations!

Monopoly

A go-to choice for board game nights, Monopoly is also available as a full-featured app from Google Play and the App Store. The app allows you to set up private multiplayer games of up to four people at a time. It offers the full Monopoly experience, letting you buy, build, and bankrupt all your friends as you scheme your way to the top.

Psych!

Psych! is an addictive word game that encourages you to use your brain and keeps you on your toes. The objective of the game is to come up with believably fake answers to real trivia questions. You get points for choosing the right answer and for successfully tricking your friends into picking your fake answer as well. The app can be downloaded from both Google Play and the App Store.

The Jackbox Party Pack

The Jackbox Party Pack is a party game series that comes with everything you need for an entire evening of entertainment. Every pack, of which there are currently seven, contains five unique games, each as fun as the last. The best way to play Jackbox online with others is to download one of the party packs through Steam to your Mac or PC. Then, hop on a video chat with your friends, load up the game, and share your screen. Everyone plays via a room code through the web browser on their own smartphone.

Hogwarts Digital Escape Room

While physical escape rooms might be out of the question, there are some fantastic virtual experiences to be had online. Harry Potter fans should try out the Hogwarts Digital Escape Room, a completely free game full of trivia from the series. Gather some friends on a video call and work together to solve a variety of puzzles, riddles, and quizzes. The game is suitable for all ages and great for teaching kids math, literacy, and critical thinking skills.

With the winter approaching, it’s time to take most activities indoors while continuing to follow social distancing guidelines. Challenge your friends to some online games that can help you enjoy a fun time together even when apart.
