I think jackbox has a limit of 8 people for most games. So games you can have audience members vote so they can be involved as well.

like

Jack box 6 has option for 10!

The Houseparty app has been my favorite so far. It has Heads Up, Trivia, Cards Against Humanity, and more.

Pictionary

Have a wallpaper contest. You can make polls in zoom and the best background gets a prize or something. Something small that means the world at this time like order a pizza to their house the next day.

If it’s not a lot of people, you can do it in the Houseparty app and play a bunch of games!

I did this for my husband. We used jackbox on steam and shared via zoom.

It was great. Highly recommend.

Drawful 2 from jackbox is great.

🖐 are we invited?

Charades. Classic lol

Cards Against Humanity

Everyone else suggested what I had in mind, but I just wanted to say that this is super sweet of you! Good luck!

Evil Apples is awesome! Like cards against humanity but similar to Jackbox set up

It looks like Jackbox and Houseparty both have limits of 8 users (some jackbox games go up to 10).

We had invited 12. Do any of these suggestions work for a larger group?

Jackbox doesnt. But if you have couples they can play in teams. If you move forward, we like party pack 3 and 4 best

How many emails and/or Slack messages do you receive and respond to on a typical day? My employer wants everything answered within 24 hours but in reality responses need to be made almost immediately. This makes getting back on task and being productive almost impossible when there are constant interruptions. Any advice on this or asking for accommodations? I think my best option is to change jobs.
