Virtual Parties

Social connection is one of the most important things you can do to keep the blues away and stay emotionally healthy.

Luckily, there are lots of ways to enjoy an engaging time with friends even when you can’t get together in person for one reason or another. Here are some favorite ideas from Open House Mystery Parties’ family to yours.

Stream a Puzzle Adventure Video Game

Choose your favorite point-and-click adventure, turn on screen sharing, and let the puzzling fun begin!

Big Fish Games has several fun puzzle adventures you can play. We can also recommend The Room and Cube Escape/Rusty Lake games on Steam.

Game with Friends in a Discord Video Channel

Discord allows you to create an online space private to only those you invite, complete with voice, video, and text communication all for free with no time limits!

There are lots of games that work great over video chat. Just One, Qwingo, Cartographers, and Medium are a few of our favorites.

Play Board Games on Board Game Arena

This option is for the tabletop game lovers in your life. Find hundreds of board game options ready to play in your internet browser on Board Game Arena!

Chatting in a Discord voice channel is the most reliable way we’ve found to keep communication with friends consistently connected as you set up and move between games. This is especially important if you want to get together with a larger group broken out into different games through one event.
