When you can only sit indoors, it can get boring after a while. So, what can you do? Play games! We’ve gathered some of the best games for adults that you can play remotely at home. An added bonus: they are free! Plus, they might even make you feel nostalgic.
Fun Games for Adults at Home
#1 Who Am I
You can play this game with just two people. All you need is a pen and paper. How does it work? Each player gets a card with the name of a famous person on it. You can choose the names for each other. You cannot look at the card you receive. You have to guess who is on your card—in other words, who you are. You do this by asking the other players closed questions; questions that can only be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’. If you get a ‘yes’ as an answer, you can ask another question. If you get a ‘no’, it’s the next person’s turn. The first person to guess who is on their card wins. It’s a fantastic game for home!
#2 30 Seconds
This is the perfect game for adults to play at home. All you need to do is download the 30 Seconds app. It’s best to play with at least four people, but if you’re creative, you can play this game with just two. How does it work? One person in the team sees a list of five words. This person must explain these words to the others without saying the actual word. The team that guesses the most words wins. A fun game for home, but also for playing elsewhere.
#3 Twerk Pong (yes, really!)
It might sound a little weird, but it’s one of the funniest games for adults to play. What do you need? An empty tissue box, some string, and ping pong balls (or make your own balls out of paper). You tie the tissue box around your waist with the balls inside. The goal is to shake your hips as hard as you can to get the balls out of the box. The last person still trying loses! You can come up with your own “punishment.”
#4 Old Flemish Games
In Belgium, there are various Old Flemish games that are still a lot of fun to play. For example, try Sjoelen or choose Pietjesbak. These games will certainly ensure plenty of hilarious moments.
#5 Hangman
And continuing with old-fashioned games for home: Hangman! Do you remember how this goes? One person has to guess the word of the other by asking for letters. With each wrong letter, a line of the gallows is drawn. If you don’t guess the word before the last line of the gallows is drawn, you lose.

#6 Renting a Room
This is an ideal game for two adults to play. All you need is a piece of paper and two different colored pens/pencils. Draw a number of boxes on the paper and the game can begin. You take turns coloring a “wall” in. Whoever colors the last wall of the box gets to “rent” the room. The person who has secured the most rooms wins.
#7 Hints
You can compare this with 30 Seconds, only this is not a talking game for adults, but you need to act out all the words without talking. You can play this in teams, or even together if you’re a bit creative. Check out the funny video below of young René van der Gijp who once participated in the namesake TV show.
#8 Houseparty
This is the best app to host an online Friday afternoon gathering. Here, you can video call with a large group and play games like trivia simultaneously. You could almost say that the Friday afternoon gathering has never been this much fun!
#9 The Smartest Person
The TV show of the same name also has an app where you can play this game with friends. Challenge your friends to see who is the smartest! This game offers hours of entertainment together.
#10 Netflix Party
If you usually watch a series on Netflix together or go to the movies together, but now need to stay home? It’s not really a game, but it’s fun to do! Netflix has made it possible for you to binge-watch a series or movie together. You only need to install the extra extension in your Google Chrome and you can watch at the same time. The extension also allows you to chat with each other in between!
