ABOUT
In this crazy Coronavirus world, many of us are feeling isolated and need to socialize. We created Online WORD Game party event to allow you to do just that, in a fun safe environment.

HOW IT WORKS

This completely online event will be LIVE and you will be able to see and hear the other participants while playing. In addition you get to meet and interact with other participants.

At game time, your host will show you a word search board. Your goal is to come up with as many words as you can within the specified time frame (Typically 90-120 seconds). The person(people) who made the most words, will get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize at the end of the event. You also can earn raffle tickets for audience participation and finding certain bonus words. We will also play Categories, Rebus and other word games.

(You must be on camera if you want a chance to win prizes. Otherwise you can play for fun if you are off camera, but just cant win any rounds)

Prizes may include Amazon Gift Cards, Free future events and other goodies.

We will have multiple rounds of play and have a system to also virtually introduce you to other participants.

After you purchase your ticket, you will get a confirmation with the zoom link for you to use to log in.
