These days, where it is rewarding to stay home, we have had to put aside seeing friends, family and acquaintances due to the impossibility of going out. Thanks to Android, this can be partially solved with some apps that are used to avoid losing contact with those you love. Houseparty is an example, but in a different way.
Thanks to this app, we can make video calls with the contacts in our calendar, but it also adds certain functions so that it is not a simple conversation. Basically, what the app offers is a series of super interactive games to enjoy both with people away from home, and with the family that we have within it, which we will discuss below.
Everything you can do at Houseparty
Obviously we can leave it in a simple video call, but for that we believe that there are better alternatives, with better implementation in the operating system, since this presents some problems in the display of notifications from other apps. However, we have the possibility of adding contacts from both the agenda and Facebook, to have conversations with up to 8 people simultaneously .
Heads Up!
Keep in mind, that the app is only available in English, this is why the names are in this language. However, we are going to explain it so that it is understood in Spanish, and it is that this game is a classic in gatherings of friends and private parties.
A person places a card on his forehead, in this case the screen of the mobile, and he must guess what it is. Meanwhile, the rest of the participants must give you clues for you to guess. Obviously the themes can be varied, such as series, movies, drawings or objects. In short, a version very similar to the ‘Who’s Who’ of a lifetime .
Trivial
This well-known game is transformed into a whole range of options within the app, since it has modes of different themes to guess. Questionnaires about geography, sports, fashion, superheroes … It also includes very cool modalities such as discovering a crime or finishing the lyrics of a song.
A trivial, as we know from other already consolidated titles such as Asked, offers a series of consecutive questions that must be answered in a certain time, although here the difficulty is added that there are more contestants simultaneously, so it rewards speed.
Chips and Guac
The name may not sound too much, but it is basically a word association game . It is similar to the institute exercises, those in which concepts should be associated with the exact word that defined it. To do this, it takes more than two players to start the game.
Quick Draw!
It is based on the operation of Pictionary online , where a word will appear for one of the players, this will have to represent it as accurately as possible, or at least an explanatory clue. The rest of the participants must guess, through the camera, the topic or word that they are representing.
In this app it works the same way, although in a more limited way, since when drawing we have much less options. There is only one color (black) and another button to erase what is drawn, nothing more.
