Online party games to play with friends

The easiest online party games are the classics everyone already knows, played on everyone’s own phone: one person makes a room, friends join with a code, and every card lands on every screen at once. They work at a party, and on a video call with friends in other cities or countries.

How to play

Make a room. Pick a deck and make a free room. You get a 6-letter code and a QR code.
Friends join. Everyone opens the link or scans the QR on their own phone and types a name. No app, no account.
On a video call? Switch off “Everyone in the same room”. Truth or dare becomes truth only, so nobody is dared to do something from another city.

The five games

Most likely to: the group secretly votes on which friend fits a question best. Most votes has to explain themselves.
Never have I ever: everyone taps “I have” or “Never” at the same time, so nobody can wait and copy.
Would you rather: two choices, no “neither”. See how the room split and who went against the crowd.
Truth or dare: the game picks who’s on the spot and the room votes on whether it counts. Truth only on video calls.
Omi: the classic four-player card game from Sri Lanka, with bots for empty seats and a free practice game.

Good for

Game night at home, with the TV showing a big-screen view of every card.
