Online Party Games for Remote Work Teams

December 6, 2019 12:14 PM

My company of a dozen or so remote people wants to have an online session of some sort of game every couple of weeks. What are your favorite party games to play with friends online?

Everyone is pretty open-minded, and we should probably avoid serious "gamer" games, or anything that requires a console.

Some ideas include the Jackbox TV games (I really like Drawful), online Codenames, or possibly a trivia game if we could find the right one. Free or browser-based is ideal, but we would probably be willing to spend a bit of money for something good. Friendlier games are better (nothing friendship-ruining, e.g. Risk). Also, ideally we would avoid games with more adult-oriented themes (a la Cards Against Humanity).

We will also be growing a bit in the near future, so games that could accommodate more people are even better.

Thanks!

I know you mentioned them, but Jackbox TV games combined with video chat (and someone sharing the screen running jackbox, whether it be a computer or an iPad) really have worked perfect for our remote teams. Party packs 2 and 3 have trivia games, cards-against-humanity-like game Quiplash (or one of its sequels) and it has been an effective way to have fun as a team over distance.
