Now that the confinement has been extended for another 15 days, it is essential to keep your mind occupied to avoid falling into despair and unease. Just a few days ago we made a compilation of several group call applications with more than four people to get in touch with our loved ones through mobile. This time we have compiled several applications to play in a group with friends during the quarantine by the Coronavirus.
Pinturillo 2
After its success in the web version with an average of 2 million players per month, Pinturillo 2 comes to Android in the form of an application. The tool in question inherits both the philosophy and the original interface of the Pinturillo website. It is an online game that allows us to create drawing groups in which we will have to guess what has been assigned to a host through the integrated chat of the application.
In addition to being compatible with several languages, including English, Portuguese and Spanish, Pinturillo has more than 5,000 words to draw. Unfortunately, its performance when creating private groups is somewhat deficient. Probably because of the size and capacity of its servers.
Houseparty
The star application of this quarantine for the Coronavirus. In just under a year the application has managed to obtain more than 10 million downloads for its simplicity and functionality.
Like Skype and Hangouts, HouseParty allows group video calls with up to 8 participants. Its strong point lies precisely in the number of mini games present in the tool. Games of riddles, cards, chance, drawing… The bad news is that its content is in English, although we can always resort to games that do not require text. And yes, it is totally free.
ONE!
Who does not know UNO !, the card game par excellence that now has a mobile version. The game inherits the philosophy and operation of the original title, although it also introduces new modes, as well as a room system that allows us to create private groups to compete directly with our friends.
It also has an international tournament system with which we can win different rewards and climb positions in the general ranking. It has written and voice chat to maintain the original essence of UNO! in its physical version.
Parcheesi STAR
He could not miss the one who is the king of multiplayer games. The most emblematic game of our childhood reaches mobile platforms through a game system that allows us to create private groups of up to four people with friends and acquaintances.
Despite the fact that its algorithm is based on chance, we can make money to obtain certain privileges when playing online with other players. It also has a private chat to talk with our opponents.
Applauded
Scrabble in English, this famous word game needs no introduction. Through a series of letter-shaped tiles, players will have to connect characters to make words. The first player to run out of chips will be the one to win the game.
Best of all, the application allows you to play with other players randomly or with friends through the Community options. It also has two game modes, one classic and the other called 'Fast' aimed at reducing the duration of the games. The creative studio, Etermax, has recently announced the release of Apalabrados 2, a new version with more and better gameplay options.
Call of Duty Mobile
If we opt for a somewhat more complete and entertaining game, the mobile version of the mythical Call of Duty can solve the ballot perfectly. Like the computer version, the game allows us to add friends to play games against other registered players. In addition to being optimized for mobile with few resources, the game has all the original maps of the PC version.
Asked
If Apalabrados is the mobile version of Scrabble, Trivia Crack is the game version of Trivial. Coincidentally, it is developed by the same group of developers as Apalabrados.
Like the original game, the main objective of Trivia Crack is to fill in the little cheeses on the board, answering all the general culture questions. Science, Sports, Entertainment Art, History, Geography… Unfortunately, it only admits two players maximum in its multiplayer mode. The good thing is that we can add friends and acquaintances through the application's social options.
STOP!
Also known as Tutti Frutti, Bachillerato or Basta. It is now available in the Google App Store to play with friends, family and acquaintances. Its operation is really simple. As a summary, the game will choose a host, who will have to select a letter to start and then write five words with the chosen letter in different categories. The player who manages to get the most words right in the shortest time will win the game and so on.
SongPop 2
We come to the last alternative with SongPop, a fun game that reverses applications like Shazam. The game in question will randomly play a small piece of a song, a song whose title and artist we will have to guess through the options presented by the application.
With more than 100,000 songs in its database, SongPop 2 allows you to create custom groups to play with our closest friends. And yes, it includes songs from all eras and from all musical styles beyond Pop.
