Have you played any games on Zoom?

2 years ago

I'd love to organize a Zoom game night, and was wondering what to play. I'm thinking The 5-Second Rule would lend itself well to remote play, and the game is a lot of fun. I'd probably have to be in charge of the timer all the time and ask all the questions, but that's okay. What other games have you played with your friends and families while Zooming (or participating in other kind of video gathering)? Thanks!

Facetime is through Facebook, so you don't need an Apple product. If you are on Facebook, open Messenger and click on the person you want to see. Then click on the video camera. It will make a video call to that person, so you can see each other while you talk. That is how we did the UNO game. I hope that will help.

I play Yahtzee with my daughter and the grands often. The youngest is 9, and me leading the age thing, 66. But we have fun.

A friend from college told me that she plays cards with her family on trickstercards.com . Last week one of the regulars couldn't make it, so I joined in and played a couple of rounds. On the side we had a zoom chat running.

I played for the 2nd time last night for a few minutes and managed to get 18 again (again in foods). Got some higher numbers in a couple of other categories too, but didn't have time (or the concentration) to play long. 34, wow! What category was that? I found that some questions get repeated if you play several times.

Both of these sound like fun, and it's good to know about Trickstercards, Bob. Thanks!

Question.... which version of Zoom do you have? If it's the free version, meetings only last 45 minutes, doesn't seem long enough for a game. I could be really wrong

We played UNO on Facebook facetime with DD's family and had a blast. I'm sure you could do it with Zoom, but I don't know how.

Rob, they may have lifted that rule for now, I don't know. But I do know most of my friends and I have the free version, and our meetings have gone well over an hour. We stopped only because we wanted to stop.

Tami, did you like the Facebook program? I've seen the ads but haven't tried it.

It's a program with which I'm overly familiar ;)

I've been in the free version and been gifted extra time, so that's a possibility.

We do family bingo every Friday evening. We take turns coming up with the words and then create the bingo cards and send the link out along with the ZOOM invite. It's been a lot of fun! https://myfreebingocards.com/

The free version of ZOOM would cut us off at 40 minutes so my sister bought a monthly subscription for $15. We'd be playing bingo, them BOOM, shut down at 40 minutes. No 3 minute warning or anything. Just DONE.

Alisande, I'm sorry, I'm just now seeing this. Facetime video worked great, for just the two families. DD says there is a way to do multiple Facetime calls, but she hasn't taken the time to figure it out, as she has had to use Zoom for the kids's school work, so just uses that for multiples.

Thanks, Tami. I don't own any Apple products, so no Facetime. But you remind me that I also want to Zoom with my grandsons (ages 6 and almost 9). It would be fun to play Hangman with them, among other things!

Thanks, Tami! I've been wanting to try that with a friend in Canada, but I didn't realize it was called Facetime.

Allsande, WhatsApp is the Android app that is compatible with Facetime. Works great. I don't own anything Apple or 'i' either.

Alisande, I may be calling it by the wrong name! I guess just video calling through Facebook messenger!
