How to Host a Virtual Game Night
Run a game night over a video call: which games work, how to share the screen, scoring and timing for remote family and teams.
Frequently asked questions
Which games work best on video?
Games that only need one screen: trivia, would-you-rather, picture or emoji puzzles, charades and bingo where everyone has their own card.
How do I share the games?
Open the PDF in full-screen mode and use your video app's screen-share button. Share one page at a time.
How do remote players get bingo cards?
Send each player a different card from the PDF before the call. They can mark it on paper or on screen.
How long should it be?
60 to 90 minutes. People tire faster on video, so keep rounds short.
How do we keep score?
The host keeps a scorecard. Players answer in the chat so everyone answers at the same time.
