How to Host an Epic "Emoji Pictionary" Night on Zoom
Published on Jan 3, 2025
Are your virtual meetings getting boring? Whether it's a Friday team happy hour or a family reunion on Zoom, Emoji Pictionary is the easiest way to wake everyone up.
Why Emoji Games work for Virtual Parties
- No App Install: Unlike Jackbox or specialized game apps, users don't need to download anything.
- Universal: Everyone understands emojis.
- Fast-Paced: Rounds can take just 10 seconds.
Game Mode 1: The "Screen Share" Challenge
This is best for large groups (5+ people).
- Host prepares the puzzles: Use our Emoji Quiz Creator to make 5-10 difficult puzzles.
- Share your screen: Open the puzzle link in your browser.
- First to Chat wins: Participants must type the answer in the Zoom/Teams chat box. The first correct spelling wins a point!
Game Mode 2: The "Secret Sender"
Best for smaller groups.
- The host privately messages a theme (e.g., "Horror Movies") to one player.
- That player must go to EmojiQuiz Maker, create a puzzle, and drop the link in the main chat.
- Everyone clicks to guess. It's like Charades, but digital!
