Best Apps For Group Games
Evil Apples vs. Humanity
Available on iOS & Android
Evil apples vs humanity – another great group holiday app game
FOR WHEN THE KIDS HAVE GONE TO BED…
You’ve probably heard of cards against humanity. Well, this is its evil twin. Each game begins with a red card, which has a blank statement that you have to fill. Players choose a white card from their hand, with the best (or funniest) statement to fill in the red card’s blank. Obviously, you’ll probably want to remove the kids and grandmas from the vicinity before you start playing this one. This game app is not for the faint hearted, but it is a great way to start a night out, or just break the ice with your group.
Charades! TM
Available on iOS & Android
This is one of the most popular game apps to play with friends. You’ll get 400 game cards with four charades titles in a wide range of categories. You’ve got to guess the word on the card that’s on your head from your friends’ clues before you run out of time. This game is a simple classic but somehow never ceases to drum up some entertainment amongst a crowd. Whether it’s a family get together, or a work night out, a game of charades is always a safe bet.
Spaceteam
Available on iOS & Android
This chaotic fast paced and (sometimes) stressful card game app on your phone is shouty, fast-paced and so much fun. Your task is to fix your malfunctioning spaceship whilst coordinating with your space team to do it – all before your 5-minute timer runs out! Another great game to break the ice with a group you don’t know yet or if you just want to get to know your mates a little better.
Monopoly
Available on iOS & Android
This one’s a classic for good reason. Buy, sell and scheme your way to fame and fortune. It’s just like the classic board game but on mobile and tablet so instead of rolling the dice, you’ll shake your phone. You’ll get hours of fun with friends and it’s a great way to start or end a day of exploring.

Psych! Outwit Your Friends
Available on iOS & Android

The Truth Comes Out

From the creators of Heads Up and Psych, comes this hot little number that really tests how well you know your friends and family. Answer funny questions, like “What’s the biggest secret Lauren is keeping?” Then you vote for your favourite answers, and score points when yours is chosen. Grab drinks (and/or snacks), take a seat on the sun terrace and play, chat and drink it all in.

As a double agent you need to sow seeds of doubt about the opposite team and, as a Service agent, you need make sure you don’t reveal anything that the other team can use against you. At the end of the game, each player votes on who to imprison. This is best played in groups of 5 or more – so it’s the perfect app for your group holiday.
Picolo
Available on iOS & Android
If you’re heading out for a night on the town, spice up pre-drinks with a game of Picolo. It’s simple to play, involves drinking copious amounts – which usually means a pretty good time – and there’s no need for any playing cards, so if you forgot to pack them you’re safe. The app provides you with tons of booze-related questions like: ‘Everyone who is currently employed, drink 2 times’ or ‘Give 2 sips if you’ve ever eaten cheese’. Bottoms up.
Party game apps to play with friends
Mario Kart Tour
Best Apps to Play With Friends
MARIO KART TOUR
Die-hard Mario Kart fans may scoff at playing this classic Nintendo game on a phone, but the mobile app version is still plenty of fun and can be played remotely with a group of friends (just be sure to call dibs on Yoshi before anyone else does). To organize a match, you’ll need to jump through a few hoops first. After downloading the app, you’ll need to create a Nintendo account and play a few games on your own. Once you clear the first level, the “Friends” icon will appear when you tap the menu button at the bottom of the home screen. After selecting the “add friend” option you’ll be able to enter your friend’s Player ID or Nintendo Account into the empty field and challenge them to a match.
