Virtual Christmas - games for your party

It’s the most wonderful time of the year….

Unfortunately this year a lot of plans have had to be cancelled, postponed or altered to fit the current climate. At IDRsolutions we decided to turn our Christmas party into a virtual one in which we played games and did a big quiz. In this article I will be talking through some of the games we played and hopefully give you some inspiration for your virtual Christmas events.

Quiz

We started off with a big quiz (throwback to lockdown one!) in which we all completed a round. Here are some ideas for quiz rounds:

Food
Sport
Animal specific (dog breeds, UK birds…)
Riddles
Random trivia
Era specific (80’s, 90’s…)
Movie and entertainment
Geography
Hardware (don’t forget to add a few questions on IDR)

Games

We love playing games at IDR and often unwind from the week by playing a few on a Friday afternoon. We enjoy playing DnD however we also play small online games that are accessible to everyone with a pc. Here are our top 3:

Multiplayer Tetris: This is the famous 80’s game Tetris and this time it is multiplayer! It has extra features which you can mess around with and change your Tetris experience.

Codenames: This game is played in 2 teams, red and blue, with one spymaster on each team. Using singular words the spymaster needs to lead their team of spies to the correct cards in order to win. Be careful for the bomb!

Pictionary: This is another play on a classic boardgames. Design your avatar to begin drawing and guessing! You can use the words automatically given or add your own list before starting the game.

Give these games a go at your next virtual event and let us know what you think!
