The lockdowns in almost every part of the world and the fear of going out instead of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) have made interaction with our friends, family members, and colleagues kind of monotonous. Being used to even online meetings, there remains no fun element as such to keep the energy high. Online games and applications have made virtual meetups so interesting that you don’t really have to find a topic to keep the conversation going. That's the reason we have compiled a list of 5 fun online games you would love to enjoy with your gang.
1. Scribbl
One of the simplest and most fun games out there, scribble really rules the hearts of people who have played the game once. Scribble is an online platform that lets you play the traditional Pictionary in an online version. A certain group of players play the game together and compete to get the highest points. You are allotted random words from which you choose to draw one. The others need to guess what you have drawn and typed the correct answer within a time limit. People draw in turns and the fastest one to answer gets the maximum points.
Join online with a set of strangers or make a group of your own and enjoy it. If you have a group then the best way to make scribble even more fun is to get together on a video call. Just having random conversations while playing the game would definitely strengthen the bonds and ensure that your gang has a gala time together. Play a game at Scribbl.io
2. Among Us
One of the trending games currently, there’s no way we could have missed it. What’s more fun than playing a social detection game and kicking out your friends one by one by getting the favor of the majority? Sounds fun right!
Among Us is a multiplayer game that can be played on mobile devices. Join on a video call with your friends. You need to have 4-5 people to enjoy the game while the maximum number is 10 for a game. Dress up your characters and embark on an adventure where you will be assigned certain tasks.
The aim is to complete all the tasks, but, beware there is an impostor hidden amongst your teammates who would hamper the tasks and can kill you one by one without anyone knowing about it. Hence you need to identify the impostor(s) or complete all tasks before everyone is dead. There is much more to the game and a video call would just make it exponentially better and funnier.
3. Psych
An amazing multiplayer game that is fun even without a video call. Just download it and have fun. The game has various different genres and creates a random question about a person that needs to answer by all the people. There is no correct answer and all the answers are displayed to you to choose the one you deem the best. Each player gets points equivalent to the number of votes heir answers get. Say stupid and funny things to create weird situations and have an amazing time knowing your friends.
This game is also recommended for corporate game nights, ice-breaking sessions, and even birthday parties. The game is available for download on the Google Play Store or you can search the internet for its apk file as well.
4. Evil Apples
This one is for those who want the game to get a bit more to the adult side. Evil Apples is similar to Psych in the sense a random wild situation is created and extremely weird situations particularly situations of adult humor.
So if you wanna play something 18+ go ahead with this game. Each player gets a set of cards that are used to complete the question sentence in order to come up with the funniest sentence. The funniest sentence is decided by one person who acts as the judge and changes every round. The one to collect 7 points first wins the game. You can download the game from Google Play Store and have fun.
5. Scrabble Go
Scrabble Go is the game to go for if you are looking to play the traditional Scrabble online. It is fun, easy, and a lot of fun. Just keep on making words with the given conditions and compete against your peers. Put your vocabulary to test and get amazed by a whole plethora of words. To put it simply, the game will help you improve your vocabulary while allowing you to think and strategize in order to win. Scrabble Go is available on the Google Play Store app and can be downloaded there. Moreover, you can play the game even if you are alone with the computerized version which will give you an even bigger challenge adding to the fun
All these games are really great and you are definitely going to enjoy them. While actual meetups with friends can never be accommodated by such games, we can stay strong together and keep our bonds intact with the aid of such games. Keep Playing and Enjoying!
