9 Best Games to Play With Friends Over a Zoom Call

Looking for games you can play with your friends online using Zoom? There’s really no limit to the possibilities, but it can be tough to come up with an idea when there are so many options out there. A cool little fact you can share with your friends is that your screen shows a reflection of you, but what your friends see is the actual you. You can test this by holding up a magazine to the screen. Your friends will be able to read it but it will be backward for you.

But there is more to do over a Zoom call besides catching up and sharing cool facts. Here are seven games to play with your Zoom group.

Trivia

Everyone loves a good game of Trivia, the problem is, not all of us aced our history classes or know who created the microwave, which can be troublesome if one of your friends is a human encyclopedia. Thanks to apps like TriviaMaker, you can personalize your Trivia topics to things you all (or at least one member of your team) know pretty well. Personalized Trivia is really the best way to put together your next group game. Pre-categorized games are also available on apps like Facebook, Snapchat, Alexa, and similar platforms.

Scrabble

WordsWithFriends was one of the biggest games to hit the app store and now, you can bring the fun of the original Scrabble to your Zoom party. Put your word knowledge to the test and see if you have what it takes to come out victorious!

If you want a real advantage, try a tool that can unscramble words. Just enter the letters you have, and it will give you the words that you can place in the game. Over time, it will improve your Scrabble game, but in the short timer, your opponent will think you’ve got some great skills.

Murder Mystery Party

Promote team building with fun-loving games like solving a mystery. You can host various virtual murder mystery games and that would be a perfect way to encourage team building and productivity.
