The 3 Games That Make Houseparty the Must-Have App of 2020

Houseparty is made to offer the experience of a party with your friends and family on your smartphone, and no party is complete without party games. That’s why they built your favorite games right into the app, from classic trivia to the hottest new games from major celebrities. 

Here are 3 of the best games currently available in Houseparty!

Uno

Everyone knows the incredible feeling of knowing you’re about to hit an opponent with a Reverse card and foil all of their plans in UNO. You shouldn’t have to miss out on that experience just because you can’t have in-person game night. 

Everyone’s excited that UNO is now a part of Houseparty, seamlessly integrated so you can play it with your friends anytime. You can see your deck, the main card stack, and all of your friends at the same time, making it as close to the experience of playing together in-person as any app has ever come. It’s the reason why UNO was willing to partner with Houseparty in the first place— it’s the full, un-watered down UNO experience. And that includes the devastation of getting taken down by a Draw Four card. 

Heads Up!

What happens when you pair the hottest social app with the hottest party game there is? True game-night magic.

In 2019, Houseparty partnered with Heads Up!, the gaming phenomenon launched by Ellen Degenerous that’s gone on to become a major hit. Now, you can play Heads Up! from directly inside of Houseparty, taking your remote game night or hangout to the next level.

In Heads Up!, your friends see the name of a celebrity, character, movie, or other pop culture reference that you can’t see, and they have to get you to guess as many as possible in a certain period of time. It’s fast paced, shout-y fun, and Houseparty is the only way to translate Heads Up! from in-person game nights to remote parties when people can’t be together in-person. 

Trivia

For trivia nerds, one of the biggest frustrations of all the lockdowns and closed restaurants and bars has been the loss of trivia nights. But never fear, Houseparty is here.

Trivia has become one of the most popular games in Houseparty, and they make it easy to host a trivia event with your friends and family anytime. Whether you want to set up a weekly, scheduled trivia night or just jump into an impromptu game when you want to kill some time on your lunch break, launching a game is almost instant.

Plus, they’re constantly adding new trivia categories and decks— covering everything from movies and pop culture to the popular game Fortnite. Test your knowledge of your favorite topics and compete against your friends to see who’s the true tivia master.
