Play games
For most of these virtual games you will need to log into a video chat first.
Steam – Boasts 1,000s of games for every type of person; from those who are hardcore gamers to those who are just looking for a good laugh. Steam allows people to join the “game room” through a code based system. Only you and your friends can join! You play the game on your device but often share results and have opportunities to vote on answers.
Board game arena – This is another website where you can connect with others; both those you know and those you don’t. They have a wide variety of games allowing you and your group to play on multiple devices at a time. The set-up is similar to Steam where the host has a code. The games here tend to be more of a board game set up and it is easier to play on a desktop or laptop.
Pub quiz – A classic favourite that can happen from your own home! As a host you can create your own pub quiz using video chat and Google quiz to create a personalised pub quiz. Through various video chat systems you are able to share your screen for the picture round or your sound for the music round if you choose to. You can also join into other pub quizzes happening virtually on a national level.
