This Is The Perfect Family Game For The Zoom Age

The holidays are here, and families are preparing for their first ever quarantine Christmas. Although it may seem we have exhausted all options for entertainment, a good ol’ game night will never get old. One of my family’s favorite games for family game night is called 5 Second Rule. Not only is this game incredibly easy to learn and very fun to play, but it also keeps everyone on their toes due to its fast pace (hence the name). To play, you have five seconds to give three answers based on what the card says. Seeing as you only have five seconds to formulate your answers, it can be quite humorous to hear what comes out of everyone’s mouths. 

PlayMonster 5 Second Rule Game – New Edition — $15.97

PlayMonster’s 5 Second Rule Game is available on Amazon for just $15.97 and is appropriate for ages 10+. It says the game requires three players, but it can definitely be played with two. There are additional versions of the game that can be purchased separately as well, including 5 Second Rule Spintensity, 5 Second Rule Jr., and 5 Second Rule Uncensored. 

Given the nature of things right now, one of the best parts about this game is that it can be played via Zoom, Skype or FaceTime. As long as one person owns the game, it can be modified to play virtually anywhere.
