Two answers are then anonymously displayed on the screen, and the other players vote for their favorite. Players are given a silly prompt-'an inventive way to get rid of head lice,' for example-which they answer in the goofiest, most creative way possible. Similar to Kahoot!, Quiplash involves sending your friends a code (which they’ll enter at Jackbox.TV) and then sharing your screen with them via video chat so they can see the prompts and submit their responses on their own devices. There are also a number of variations you can choose within the game, which you can learn about here. The pattern continues until everyone’s had a turn-and you get to laugh and laugh at how far off everyone was from the original sentence.

The first person in the chain comes up with a sentence, which the next person draws the third person guesses the sentence based on the image, and the fourth person then has to illustrate that sentence. Gartic Phone, which you can play with a select group by logging in to Discord or Twitch, is a fun fusion of telephone and Pictionary where everyone wins. Your friends will submit their answers on their own devices, but the questions will pop up on your (the host’s) screen, so you’ll also need to video chat with your friends and share your screen with them. Once your quiz is ready to go, you’ll be given a number code to send to the other players, who can enter it at or through the Kahoot! app. There are tons of existing quizzes to choose from, which you can filter by subject and grade level, or you can create your own. A basic Kahoot! account is free and allows you to host a trivia game with up to 10 people. Kahoot! is a great platform for educators who want to post online quizzes for their students-or even host live quiz sessions-and it’s also a fantastic way for you to get a weekly trivia tradition going among friends.
