5 best Discord activities to try with friends
Many people use Discord as a place to chat with friends - and while voice and video calls are great for chatting, sometimes you want to add a little extra activity to the mix.Here's The best Discord activities to try with friends!
1. Death By AI
Death By AI takes the concept of interactive storytelling and injects it with a touch of humor. This activity uses the GPT language model to create and narrate stories. The idea is: A person builds a scene by choosing an existing scenario or creating it themselves. Then, everyone in the group outlined their escape plan. The Host, an AI robot with an interesting personality, reads each escape plan and recounts the results.
These situations can be anything from being trapped in a zombie apocalypse, falling off a skyscraper, or facing a deranged dentist. There is a character limit on solution length, and words like "live" and "survive" are prohibited.
The default game mode does not guarantee that anyone will survive a life or death situation. But if that's too bleak, the game also has a survival mode, in which the AI narrates a story, involving all the participants, but only one survives.
2. Land.io
Land.io is similar to the classic Snake game and is very simple. However, unlike the Sanke game, in Land.io you have to tap your tail to earn points. In this game, you and your friends start with a small piece of land and the goal is to capture as much territory as possible before time runs out.
You can only expand your land by closing the end of your current territory. The difficulty is that when you move outside the territory to expand it, you expose your tail. If another player cuts off your exposed tail, you lose all your territory to them and start over. The mechanics are easy to grasp, making Land.io perfect for a casual chat with friends who aren't hardcore gamers. After all, Discord isn't just for gamers.
Despite its simplicity, Land.io is still a lot of fun. You can play Land.io privately with friends or join a public game to test your skills against players from other servers.
3. Chef Showdown
Have you ever dreamed of running a bustling restaurant? With Chef Showdown, you can experience the chaos (and sometimes satisfaction) of the culinary world without worrying about burning down your kitchen. This activity is inspired by games like Over Cooked and has similar mechanics, although even simpler.
Chef Showdown takes place in a fast food restaurant with a menu that includes burgers, fries, salads and sodas. Impatient customers will wait for their food and you need to serve them quickly. You can easily serve salads and soft drinks, but making burgers and fries requires many steps. The biggest challenge is that you can't do anything else when your hands are busy. This simple rule will ruin the best-laid plans.
There are two ways to play Chef Showdown: Cooperative and competitive. In cooperative mode, you and your friends can work together to earn total points. In versus mode, you go head to head with your friend. They both work in the same kitchen, but only the person who takes the order gets points.
4. Chess in the Park
Chess is a subject that is always attractive. Chess in the Park brings this timeless game to Discord and saves you from having to arrange a physical board or fumble with misplaced pieces. With just a few clicks, you can create a game, invite your friends and participate in a battle of wits.
Chess in the Park provides more than just basic functionality. If you want to analyze your matches and learn from mistakes, this activity stores a history of your matches. This allows for a review of past games, identifying key turning points and potentially developing new strategies for future battles. There's also a handy move planning mode where you can contemplate your next moves while your friend ponders theirs.
Chess in the Park is a great way to relax and chat with friends while occasionally having something to think about in silence. You can also customize the board and pieces with a variety of skins for added personality. Remember, if all your friends are offline, you can always join other Discord servers to find people to play with.
5. Watch Together
Watching videos online with friends is often a hassle. You send a link, they open it, there's an inevitable delay, and it seems like someone is always a few seconds behind. Watch Together solves this problem by creating a seamless co-watching platform right within Discord. Think of it like hosting a virtual YouTube watch party on your server. You'll see a familiar interface, complete with a search bar and trending videos.
Watch Together is one of the few Discord activities that isn't a game; it provides a simple but important function: Synchronous play. Whenever the host pauses, rewinds, or fast forwards, the video is adjusted to suit everyone on the call. No more pausing for everyone to catch up or syncing playback. Watch Together allows people to react to videos together, discuss plot details in real time, and enjoy watching something happen simultaneously for everyone, bringing back the feeling of Like watching a video together.
There are some limitations to keep in mind. Watch Together cannot play age-restricted content or videos that require a YouTube login. However, for most YouTube content, it provides a smooth and fun way to share a viewing experience with friends on Discord. YouTube also shows ads during playback, which can be detrimental to viewers.
These are just a few of Discord's many fun and engaging activities. There are many more, and with their variety, there is something for everyone. So next time you're looking to liven up your Discord session, try these activities. You'll be surprised how much fun everyone can have together.
