8 Best Discord Party Games to Play with Friends (2026)
The 8 best party games to play on Discord — from Jackbox to custom Snapgame quizzes. Works in voice channels and text channels. No bot required for most.
Discord started as a gaming app but it's become the home base for friend groups. These 8 party games are built (or perfectly adapted) for Discord — from full voice-channel events to quick text-channel games that keep your server active.
1. Snapgame — Custom quizzes in text channels
Post a Snapgame link in a Discord channel. Everyone clicks and plays. No bot needed, no slash commands — just a link and a live leaderboard. Great for "who knows this server's lore" quizzes or general trivia.
2. Jackbox Party Pack (screenshare)
The gold standard for Discord party games. One person buys Jackbox, screenshares, and everyone else joins via phone browser. Quiplash, Drawful, and Trivia Murder Party are the best games for groups of 4–8. Requires one purchase.
3. skribbl.io
Free online Pictionary that works great over Discord. Share your screen or use the built-in link. One player draws, others guess. Create a private room with your own custom word list for maximum chaos.
4. Gartic Phone
Free telephone-Pictionary hybrid. Everyone draws, everyone guesses, and the result is a broken game of telephone turned into art. Generates hilarious screenshots — share them in the channel after.
5. Among Us (voice channel)
Classic Discord game — play Among Us in a voice channel and use the mute/unmute Discord bots for immersive meetings. Best with 7–10 players. Requires the free Among Us app.
6. GeoGuessr (screenshare)
The person screensharing plays GeoGuessr while the group shouts out guesses. Surprisingly social — everyone learns something and argues about landmarks. Free to play casually.
7. Codenames Online
Free online version of the popular word game. Two teams, two spymasters, lots of debate. codenames.game works great over screenshare or with everyone on their own device.
8. Typerace or 10FastFingers
Typing race competitions — share a race link, everyone joins, fastest typer wins. Short, sharp, and generates instant competitive energy in the channel. Free.
