Voice Controlled Party Games
These are the games we reach for when there are people in the room. Everyone can see the screen, everyone can shout at it, and nobody has to wait for a controller to come round. One browser tab, one microphone, as many players as can fit on the sofa.

Why voice works better than controllers at a party
A normal party game is limited by how many controllers you own. A voice game is limited by how loud your living room is willing to get. Because the microphone hears whoever speaks up, a new player can join by simply joining in, and a shy player can hang back without being locked out of the round.
Hidden role games
The Imposter and The Werewolf are social deduction games where you talk to each other rather than to the computer. The screen hands out secret roles and keeps time; the accusations are up to you. These play best with four or more people.
Fast reaction games
Bing Bong Banana, Silly Seagull and Leaning Tower of Pizza are quick to explain and quick to lose. They work well as warm-ups while people are still arriving, because a round takes under a minute and a new player can pick up the rules by watching one go.
Common questions
How many people can play at once?
There is no player cap. The microphone picks up whoever is speaking, so you are limited by how many people can see the screen rather than by the game.
Do we each need our own device?
No. The usual setup is one laptop or TV that everyone shouts at together. If you would rather use a phone as the microphone, open the game on a TV and scan the QR code it shows you.
