Description
Bring your long-distance family, friends, and teams together with 100 games that make every video call feel like a party.
Nothing ruins game night more than everyone living in different cities, but distance shouldn’t stop the fun when you have video calls. Are you hip to be squares?
With 100 games invented specifically for video communication, you can connect with your remote family, friends, coworkers, classmates, students, pen pals, and even blind dates for hours of laugh-out-loud fun that requires virtually nothing more than pens, paper, and the Internet. Every game will unleash each player’s personality, creativity, likes, dislikes, dreams, stories, and more!
Better than introductions and awkward silences, Hip to Be Squares is a surefire way to keep your video calls interesting. It has sections for ice breaker, team building, mind reading, bluffing, puzzler, memory, and strategy games that will reveal fun surprises about the players and spark new connections.
Packed with expert tips from Chief Entertainment Officer Brad Berger, this travel-friendly game book keeps people laughing, sharing, and staying close no matter where they are. Until now, video conferencing has never been so fun!

YES!!! As a sales leader in a remote environment, this is exactly what I’ve been needing!! If you find yourself googling “virtual games to play as a team”, look no further than this book. It has realistic, FUN games for all personality types. I’ll be referring back to this weekly!

Perfect for team building or ice breakers with any group. Plus since there are so many suggestions you could use it for multiple meetings without having to pivot and come up with new ideas.
I like how the games were grouped together and it would be good to choose one from each section, I think to keep things fresh and interesting.
Some of these ideas you may have seen or used before but there were definitely new ideas or at least revamp of the old ideas.

Great for anyone looking for team-building exercises. With 100 corporate team-building exercises to choose from, you’re spoilt for choice. Whilst these games are primarily designed to be played via video conference, they can just as easily be adapted for face-to-face team-building sessions.
If you want to get to know your colleagues better, test their creativity, understand their interests outside the workplace, and much more, the ideas in this book will help you do just that and have fun along the way.

Hip to be Squares contains games for virtual meetings divided into categories, such as getting to know you games, betting, acting/charades style games, etc. Most require some prep, such as preparing 100 prompts on notecards, but nothing too complicated. I can imagine many would make good icebreakers for work events, and would also be fun for families and friends living far apart. One particular benefit is that the games don't require any particular tech skills, only the ability to participate in a virtual call. I can easily imagine readers using these many of these games to connect with elders who might otherwise not be able to travel for a game night. I will recommend to people who enjoy Jackbox-style party games, and people looking for ways to connect with far-flung loved ones.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, Familius, for a digital review copy.
