As life moves on, so do friends. Some of your closest friends may not always be in the same city or same country for that matter. However, that shouldn’t stop you from having fun with your friends in the age of technology. Where there is a will, there is a way. From karaoke nights to pub quizzes to book clubs and slot machines, everything is possible virtually and is just a click away.
We bring you the best way of having fun with your friends and family remotely, especially with the Pandemic.
Host a Netflix party
While all of you can decide and plan on watching the same movie or shows together in your respective homes, a Chrome extension has made it much easier. The extension called Netflix Party allows you to party remotely with your friends. Whether it is a movie-night, a bingeathon or a special, long-distance date. The best part is that it synchronizes video playback and also allows group chat so you can respond to messages in real time.
NetBet Casino. From slot machines to poker to blackjack, some of the most popular casino games are online either on your web browser or mobile browser or even as an app. Just ask your friends to download the same game app or add you as a friend on the same game on social channels.
How about a Pub Quiz?
Simply google virtual quiz events or pub quizzes online and you will find countless options to choose from. Invite your friends in a special Lord of the Rings pub quiz or Superbowl quiz to have some fun. Alternatively, you can also use apps like The Houseparty app that allows you to socialise and play games with your friends. Be the quiz master and organize a trivia quiz with some bizarre questions thrown in. Interestingly, the app lets you see your friends’ reactions in real time and you can even chat with one another while playing the quiz.
Find out who’s the wordsmith
The game is called Words with Friends and you can invite your friend for a one-on-one scrabble type match online. You can even integrate the app with Facebook and see who’s online to invite them over. The classic version of this app is free and while you can only play with one player at a time, you can have several matches going on parallely.
Summary
Weekends just got a lot more exciting with so many fun games and virtual parties to choose from. Be creative and you can add a couple of more ideas to this list to make it more customized for your friends.
