Are you looking for new ways to pass the time during the coronavirus? If you’ve already done puzzles, read some books, and binged on Netflix, it’s time to try virtual game nights. This mostly free activity is a take on traditional game night, but it’s done online with apps like Zoom or Houseparty. Here’s how to host a virtual game night.
Send an Invitation
Set a time and date and send out a quick invite via text or email to give your friends something to look forward to. Once you narrow down your guest list, you can decide what type of online game to play.
Pick Your App
There are several apps you can do your game night on including Houseparty, Zoom, Google Hangout, Skype, and FaceTime. Some apps like Houseparty, even have their own games. The app you chose will depend on how many people you want to include in your game night and what platform they’ll be using.
Don’t Forget Snacks!
No game night is complete without snacks, even if you’re just preparing snacks for yourself. Whether it’s a cup of tea, some healthy snacks, popcorn, nachos, or a glass of wine—snacks are important.
