Level Up Your Fun: The Best Video Call Games to Keep You Entertained!

Let’s face it, folks – while video calls have been a savior during these times, sometimes it feels like we’re just staring into the void of our friends’ faces. They say laughter is the best medicine, but can we really keep the fun alive through a screen? Fear not! Here’s your ultimate guide to video call games that will not only spice up your virtual hangouts but might even make you forget that you're in your pajamas (no judgment here!).

1. Among Us - The Ultimate Whodunit

If you’ve been living under a rock, or maybe just avoiding social media, Among Us is a multiplayer game that’s taken the world by storm. It’s like Clue, but with more betrayal and much cuter aliens. Get your group of friends together, and let the accusations fly as you figure out who the imposter is. Just don't blame the dog if your Wi-Fi goes down!

2. Jackbox Games - The Party Starter

Jackbox Games are the crème de la crème of party games. With a variety of titles, you can play trivia, drawing games, and even some rude games that’ll make you giggle like a middle-schooler. Just remember, it’s all fun and games until someone draws a very inappropriate picture of their boss. The best part? Only one person needs to own the game, and everyone else can join using their phones.

3. Codenames - Word Play Like Never Before

If you enjoy a little espionage with your friends, Codenames is a fantastic game to play via video call. Split into teams and unveil the mystery behind the codenames. It’s like being in a secret society, except with more laughter and less chance of being hunted down. Just don’t show up dressed as a spy, it might be overkill!

4. Kahoot! - A Quiz for the Ages

Remember those cringe-worthy quizzes from school? Well, they’ve evolved! With Kahoot!, you can create your own quizzes and challenge your friends. This is perfect for those who want to show off their vast knowledge of 90s boy bands or, you know, world capitals. Bonus points if you can do it without Googling!

5. Psych! - What's Your Lie?

Unleash your inner liar with Psych!, a game where you make up fake answers to real questions. Your friends have to guess the real answer and see if they fall for your smooth-talking abilities. It’s like a trust fall, except you’re falling into a pit of lies and giggles.

6. Virtual Escape Rooms - The Great Adventure

Put your detective skills to the test by trying a virtual escape room. Gather your friends and solve puzzles to escape from various themed rooms. It’ll feel like you’re on a mission to save the world… or at least your sanity!

7. Pictionary - Drawing Skills Put to the Test

Who doesn’t love a good game of Pictionary? Grab a digital whiteboard and let the chaos ensue as your friends try to guess your questionable drawing skills. The only rule: you can’t use words—only doodles! If you can’t draw a cat, we promise no one will be mad… maybe just a little confused.

8. Scavenger Hunt - A Modern Twist

Transform your video call into an exhilarating scavenger hunt! Create a list of vague and wacky items, and see who can find them the fastest around their house. Trust us, there’s nothing funnier than watching your friend frantically search for their pet goldfish.

Conclusion

With these video call games, your virtual hangouts will be transformed from mundane to magnificent! So gather your friends, put on your game face, and let the good times roll. Who knew that you could have a blast without ever leaving your couch? Now get out there and show those video calls who's boss!

Cheers to fun, laughter, and maybe a little competition!
