GroupGames guide
A beginner-friendly group game night in 30 minutes
An easy first game night with time to join, play and chat.
If some guests have never joined an online game room, choose a short lineup and leave plenty of time to explain. Ask people to bring a browser device and set up a separate voice or video call if you want to talk while playing.
A flexible 30-minute schedule
- Join and welcome (5 minutes): create a room, share the player invite and help everyone join. Free rooms hold up to 8 people including the host.
- Quiz Together (10 minutes): choose a suitable question pack, explain the answer timer and reveal answers between questions.
- Sketch & Guess (10 minutes): take turns drawing a private word while the others type guesses. Players can pass if they do not want to draw.
- Wrap up (5 minutes): look at the room scores and ask which game people would like to try next time.
Make the evening comfortable
Share the player invite rather than a private paid host link. Keep private words off shared screens. Drawing guesses are visible to everyone in the room and not automatically moderated; an adult should supervise children and select suitable content.
Some games are shared while others are independent challenges with scores reported by players' devices. Explain the format before each game, and pause supported shared games when the group needs a break.
