Among Us
This is the ultimate social deduction game now online.
Play online or over local wifi with 4-10 players as you attempt to hold your spaceship together and return back to civilization. But beware…as there may be an alien impostor aboard!
One crewmate has been replaced by a parasitic shapeshifter. Their goal is to eliminate the rest of the crew before the ship reaches home. The Impostor will sabotage the ship, sneak through vents, deceive, and frame others to remain anonymous and kill off the crew.
While everyone is fixing up the ship, no one can talk to maintain anonymity. Once a body is reported, the surviving crew will openly debate who they think The Impostor is.
The Impostor’s goal is to pretend that they are a member of the crew. If The Impostor is not voted off, everyone goes back to maintaining the ship until another body is found. If The Impostor is voted off, the crew wins!

Heads Up (Celebrity Heads)
Heads Up is a great game to get the party started using video conferencing software players can play this classic word game where players have to describe the word on the screen to the person holding the screen to their head. You can choose from a range of categories and play with as many people as you want.
Just be careful to work out the lighting on your phone to reduce glare so the other players can actually see the screen, I recommend turning the brightness on your phone down if this is an issue.
Jackbox Games
Another great option for an online party game are the jackbox.com games, they have you log in on jackbox.tv with a room code and either through going live on Facebook, zoom or a video call the host shares their screen.
Some people have even started hosting these games on twitch for people to join so if you feel like joining in with some random new friends why not give that a shot.
