A quiz where you guess what the other person is drawing is great fun over a video call! You can have them guess after you finish the whole drawing, or set a time limit and let them start answering while you’re still drawing—there are lots of ways to enjoy it.
It’s also fun to start with easy prompts and gradually make them harder.
Using settings or situations as prompts makes it even more challenging! And remember, the person drawing mustn’t speak or write any words.
Artistic skill might help, but if you know each other well, you’ll be able to guess no matter what kind of drawing they throw at you!
The game where you lose if you say 30NEW!
As the name suggests, the “Don’t Say 30” game is a game where you win by avoiding saying “30.” The rules are simple: take turns counting from 1 to 30.
You can say up to three numbers on your turn—one, two, or three is fine.
It starts off at a brisk pace, but the real battle begins at 20.
You have to answer while thinking about the optimal moves to force your opponent to say 30.
It’s a super easy game to get excited about, making it a perfect idea for playing over the phone!
Call of Duty:MobileNEW!
Call of Duty: Mobile, an action game where you can enjoy player-vs-player battles, is easy to play on your smartphone just by downloading the app! You can play in various modes such as Battle Royale and Team Battle.
Although it doesn’t seem to be a permanent mode, the hide-and-seek-style game called Prop Hunt—playable with friends—has also drawn attention.
Why not check the events to play together, or hop on a call while you play and enjoy giving each other tips?
Look that way, hoi!NEW!
The classic game “Acchi Muite Hoi” is something everyone knows and can have fun getting excited about.
How about trying it as an idea to liven up calls with friends or a partner? Switch to a video call so you can see each other’s faces and start.
Do rock-paper-scissors, and the winner points their finger up, down, left, or right while saying “Acchi muite, hoi!” The person who lost at rock-paper-scissors moves their face in time with “Acchi muite, hoi.” If the direction the winner points matches the direction the loser turns their face, the pointer wins.
Whether you win or lose, it brings out smiles, so it’s a great game to break the ice when talking face-to-face feels a bit embarrassing.
GoonectNEW!
Goonnect is a game you clear by cooperating with friends or a partner.
Create a room and send an invite to enjoy the game online with someone you like! The way to play is to aim for the goal while your characters hold hands and overcome various gimmicks.
Your arms can stretch and shrink, but if they stretch too far, your hands will slip apart.
Make clever use of your extendable arms, use one player as a stepping stone to climb higher, and work together to clear each stage.
It’s a game that tests how well you can cooperate—and your compatibility.
