Games to play on a Discord call

What makes a good call game

A good game for a voice call needs three things: it runs in the browser so nobody has to install anything, a round lasts a few minutes so people can join and leave, and the fun happens in the voice channel, not on a screen everyone stares at in silence. The list below follows those rules.

Our picks

• MimicBox: everyone hears a meme sound, records an impression with the mic, then the group votes for the best one. It is loud, it is dumb, and it is exactly what a voice call is for. 2 to 6 players, create a room in one click.
• Drawing and guessing games: one player draws, the others guess in the chat. Works with any group size.
• Word association or "who said it" quizzes: no setup, the host just reads questions out loud.
• Social deduction games in the browser: bluffing works even better when you can hear people hesitate.
• Trivia sites with rooms: a quick 10 question round between two matches.
• Geography guessing games: everyone loads the same round and compares scores.
• Music quizzes: someone shares a playlist in the call, first to name the song wins.
• Speed typing races: short, competitive, no talking needed.
• Story building: each player adds one sentence, the result is read aloud at the end.
• Screen share game shows: one person hosts, the others answer in voice.

Tips for playing MimicBox on Discord

Keep the call open: the game plays the sound to everyone at the same time, and hearing your friends' reactions live is half the fun. Use headphones so the sound from the call does not leak into your recording, and use the "Test my mic" button in the lobby before the first round.

If someone is on a phone, they can join from the browser with the room code, no app needed. See the rules for the details.
