We're having a company social on Zoom in a month. About 30 of us. Trying to think of games to play.
  • Jackbox (we'd have to break up into groups)
  • Murder Mystery - I think there are pack you can buy
  • Werewolf - Is there an easy way to run this with a bunch of noobs?
  • Cocktail mixing class - these are a thing, but probably not a fit
  • other?

There's at least one Jackbox game that can accommodate 30+. It's called Lie swatter. Not the best game, basically Fibbage without the making up your own answer part. It's literally just deciding if something is true or false.

There's a website called Kahoot where you can write (or find) multiple-choice quizzes. People can compete on their phone to get correct answers the fastest, similar to Jackbox. It is mostly used in education, but you could probably find a user created general trivia thing. Or you could make your own from scratch. Or you could add quesitons to one you find. Maybe some company trivia. Use questions to troll people if that kind of thing would go over.

You could do a sheep and reveal during the social.

There's a whole swath of people out there who ~never play games, and might have a more difficult time than you expect understanding them. I've had a hell of a time explaining Wavelengh to a couple of different groups, which seems super striaightforward to me. (They got it after seeing an example or two) Think about that before you try something like werewolf.

I don’t have any suggestions, but I would definitely NOT try WW (even with a much smaller group). I have had some pretty lol experiences with live WW.

ya realized WW would be bad.
a) bunch of noobs would take too long to explain, and
b) once you're dead, then you just chill

better to keep everyone involved.

Is there a way to do a real time Sheep? Or do it ahead and just reveal the results on Zoom?

I've been thinking of doing something like this for my extended family
