These days, there’s a tremendous sense of community even if all our connections are happening virtually.We’re allliving for phone calls, Zoom chat rooms, Instagram Live, any and all memes we can send to the group chat.
Which is why we’ve compiled 10 virtual drinking games to play with friends, colleagues, and family members alike. Whether you’re down the street from one another or transatlantic, our goal is to continue providing you with a fun means of connection and a way to forget your worries for a bit.
Of course, please drink responsibly!
DUCK DUCK GOOSE
- Gather 5+ friends on zoom, webex, teams or alternate virtual conference room of choice. Ensure that video & sound are on.
- Set so that you can see everyone's faces at the top, and whomever is speaking is largest at the bottom.
- Everyone opens a canned beverage.
- Pick one person who is “goose” (rotates to the right).
- “Goose” says "duck (name of friend)" "duck (name of next friend)" going around the virtual room.
- “Goose” then decides when to stop and says "GOOSE (name of friend)!" Both “geese” imbibe their beverage and drink as fast as possible.
Whomever finishes last or gives up first is the new “goose.”
MUSICAL CHAIRS

GOING TO THE STORE
- Gather 5+ friends on zoom, webex, teams or alternate virtual conference room of choice. Ensure that video & sound are on.
- Set so that you can see everyone's faces at the top, and whomever is speaking is largest at the bottom.
- The first person begins by saying, "I'm going to the store and I need to get toilet paper" (or any other quarantine necessity).
- After that, the ensuing players repeat the item that the previous players said... but add another item to the list, i.e. "I'm going to the store and I need to get toilet paper, beans, water and crackers, and ... pasta."
- Continue on until someone messes up; whoever messes up first takes a drink.
