Re: Rocketcrab: Party Games for Phones
#2I used to play Spyfall previous incarnation (crabhat) and it was amazingly clean and robust implementation. This looks even better, with more games and a SDK! Werewolf was huge success on our gatherings, nice to see it in collection.
A demo mode would help adoption a lot. It did wonders for Among Us.

#3My company has been playing a game to end every work week since the pandemic started, so we can try to maintain culture. This will be great, thanks for sharing!

Do you have any recommendations?
In the beginning I would run "virtual game nights", by screen sharing Jackbox party games. It was simple for people to join with their phones remotely and play, but it was a bit of a hassle sometimes to set up, meaning it basically had to be me who ran the game night every time.
I haven't looked around at what's out there after almost a year of a pandemic, so I'm sure there are loads of options. But would love to hear that has worked for you at work, especially if you're still doing it after all those months!

#6This is awesome! Love playing games like this with my parents (long distance), but they only ever want to play on their phones and the UI is always terrible. Wish I could've tried some of the games though without needing someone else to join. Some sort of automated example or a general open room?

Among Us comes to mind as something that could work for you as it's a free phone game and has a large lobby size (4-10 I believe).

Oh that's a game that I've been meaning to look further into. I had just seen that it cost money and was Windows only, I forgot that it was on mobile as well (and free there!)
Thanks for the suggestion!

I've recently joined an existing fully remote team. Once or twice a week someone will start an Among Us session, with a parallel Google Meet video call. People will play Among Us, and then discuss who the Imposter is in the video call. Once the game resumes, people mute their mics and disable video.
It's been a neat way to spend some social time with my new colleagues. Being on non-work calls has helped me get a sense of who my new colleagues are and I feel it's helped me integrate in to the team.

Hi, rocketcrab creator here! :) Could you elaborate on what you mean by demo mode?
