Dear Icebreakers Family,
This has been a challenging time for everyone. We hope you and your family are doing well — staying safe and healthy.
Do you need activities to play while you are isolated at home? Games can be one of the best ways to connect with friends as a social experience and to enjoy quality time with family and others who you might not be able to see face-to-face.
During such a difficult time, we wanted to provide a collection of some of the best FREE activities that are fun, social and engaging. We recommend using a videoconference tool like Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc.) while playing the game so that you can more easily talk and see faces.
