Well, you have come to the right place. I assure you that there are a lot of games you can play over facetime. Want to know which ones? Just go through this article.

Fun Games To Play Over Facetime

Do you love talking to your family, partner, or crush on video calls but do not have anything to talk about? Here is a list of games you can play over facetime and enjoy the quality time you spend with them even more.

1. Never Have I Ever

This game is very interesting and you can even get to know a lot about the person you are talking to. Both of you just have to grab drinks and ask each other questions such as ‘Never Have I Ever given a dumb name’ and if the answer to this question is Yes, take a sip from the drink, and the other person also does the same. Then the other one asks the question and the fun goes on.

2. Charades

I think almost everyone loves this game. This is a guessing game where one person describes something by sign language and the other one guesses what is she/he trying to say. One cannot write or speak in this game, just gestures are allowed. I know you are going to play this one for sure.

3. Word After Word

This game goes like this- one person says a word and the other one says the first word that comes to her/his mind after hearing it. You just have to be very quick and do not think too much, it is more of an immediate answering game.

For example, if you said winters, the other person says blanket, etc. This can go for hours and you will even get to learn about each other’s likings.

4. Lyrics Of Songs

If you both love music, this game is for you. One of you sings a song and the other person has to guess the song name, the singer, movie, album, etc.

Every time a guess is correct, the person guessing it gets one point and the one with more points wins. So, you get to sing your favorite songs while face-timing which makes it double fun.

5. Kiss, Marry, Or Kill?

I do not think there can be someone who has never heard about this game. But have you ever thought how amazing can it make your video calls?

You simply have to give your friend three names and she/he has to choose one for kissing, another one for marrying, and the last one for killing. And you will have a lot of fun over the video call.

6. Coincidence

In this game, you and your partner have to come up with the same word. You will say one, two, three out loud and then say a word associated with the last word you guys said. And the goal is to come up with the same word. So, it is like you want a coincidence to happen!

7. Are You ‘A’ Or ‘B’?

This game can help you know how your companion perceives herself/himself. One of you will have to ask a question that begins with ‘Are you’ and then gives two options, completely different or possibly opposite to each other and the other one has to choose one of them.

A good example could be ‘Are you Batman or Aquaman?’ Just come up with random questions and ask to enjoy the video call even more!

8. Two Truths And One Lie

Another very interesting game, which you can play over the video call. So, one person tells the other one three sentences about her/him out of which, two are true and one is false. The other person has to guess which ones are true and which one is false. So, you learn about each other while playing as well.

9. Word Game

Word Game begins with a word and goes on. So, you choose a category, such as cities, countries, colors, or even animals. One of you begins the game by taking a name from the chosen category and the other one comes up with a word from the same category beginning with the letter the previous word has ended with.

For example, if you select countries, the game can go like Russia, Australia, Afghanistan, Nepal, etc. 

10. Truth Or Dare

Your favorite game already? Just ask your partner to choose either truth or dare and ask a question to answer truly or give a nice dare to perform respectively. Then the other one asks and the game goes on. You get to know the truths you always wanted to know as well.

11. Guess The Object

Similar to Charades, but a little different as you can speak now. So, choose an object and describe it to your companion without referring to it directly. You can choose the number of clues like 5 or 7 or more as per your choice.

The other person will have to tell what you are talking about and gets a point on guessing right. Then you switch turns and the game goes on.

12. Just Rhyming Words

One of you gets to say a word and the other one has to say a word rhyming to it, then again you say a rhyming word, and the game goes on. You can change words when none of you is left with any rhyming word to the current word. This could be fun.

13. Complete The Story

One person gets to say a line and the second one says the next line and this continues so that you can come up with a nice story. I know everyone makes stories in her/his head, now is your chance to say those stories out loud and enjoy with your long-distance loved ones.

14. What If?

Do you too end up thinking what will happen if this happens? Play this game to say those things. You say a situation like ‘What if I become a millionaire?’ And your friend will have to say what she/he will do then. You just simply get to say out loud the scenarios you always imagine to enjoy a lot.

15. Movie Lines

If you both love movies, you can play this game where you will say a dialogue from a movie, or perform it in the way the protagonist said it. Then your companion guesses the movie name and tells you said it to whom or even possibly describe the scene.

You can even share the memories of the times you saw those movies for the first time to make it even more interesting.

16. Read My Lips

The name of the game describes it all. You say something and the other person face-timing with you will have to guess what you said. The right answer gains you one point. You get to confess things by this game, so, you can use it as a way to say things you yearn to say.

17. Origami

A lot of people like activities that involve paper folding. If you are one of those, this game is for you. You both choose some time limit to make something useful out of paper just by folding it and whoever makes more things wins!

18. Scissors, Paper, Rock

Yes, you can play Scissors, Paper, Rock with your friends while face-timing as well. Every person loves this game. You can choose one point for each time you win and the one with more points wins the game!
