Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your conversation starts feeling boring, and you just don’t have anything to talk about while chatting with your friends, siblings, or your boyfriend/girlfriend on WhatsApp? Or maybe you just want to spend more time chatting with them?

Not sure about you, but I always run out of things to say during late-night chats. Then the whole conversation becomes boring and silent for a while.

But I have a solution to turn such dull conversations into fun, exciting, crazy, spicy, and entertaining ones. This can also strengthen your relationships with your friends, siblings, or partner. So, you must give them a try.

There are already some great games that we played in our childhood, such as ‘Number Games,’ ‘Truth or Dare,’ ‘Kiss, Marry, Kill,’ ‘Situations Game,’ and ‘Would You Rather Question Game,’ etc. All we are going to do is use WhatsApp features like text messages, photo-video sharing options, WhatsApp stories, voice notes, voice calls, video calls, etc., to play games on WhatsApp with your loved ones. So, whether you want to play games via chat or video call, we’ve got you covered.

P.S. You can play these WhatsApp games in English, Hindi, or any other language like Telugu and Tamil. To make your work easier, we have added some image templates with answers that you can also copy and paste.

If they cannot guess, they will have to perform a dare. Then, they will also give you some clues based on which you will have to guess the web series or movie character.

2) Dumb Charades

I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t like “Dumb Charades.” This game is usually played at social gatherings, parties, and picnics. This time, you will play it on the video-calling app with your loved ones. You have to mimic a movie’s name or dialogue, and the opposing group guesses the movie or dialogue.

3) Rapid Fire Game

There are two ways you can play this WhatsApp question-and-answer game. First, make a list of questions that you want to ask and shoot your questions to your friend who is your opponent in the game. The second way of playing this WhatsApp question-and-answer game is to message random words or names of things, objects, or places, and the other person has to tell you the first thing that comes to their mind upon reading it. This may sound like an easy game, but don’t take it lightly. Have you ever heard of the “Koffee with Karan” show? If not, google the controversies related to this show and watch it.

4) Know Me Better

How to make a WhatsApp group chat more fun? Try this icebreaker game called “Know Me Better.” I guarantee you, “Know Me Better” is one of the best games to play on WhatsApp with your friends or siblings. Talk about the past, childhood memories, and unforgettable moments. What are the good qualities of a best friend?

5) WhatsApp Story Status Challenge Game

WhatsApp stories are more than just sharing memories and wishing birthdays; they can also be used to play games. The WhatsApp Story Challenge is a trending game where you post tricky questions on your status. If someone views and replies with the wrong answer, they have to post the same challenge on their status. It’s a popular chain message game.

11) Memory Games

You can also test the strength of your relationship by asking each other questions about each other. We’d just like to put out a disclaimer that if your partner doesn’t remember something, it doesn’t mean they don’t care; they may simply have a bad memory.

Some questions you can ask:

When was our first date?
When was our first kiss?
Where did we first meet?
What is the name of my first pet?

12) 20 Questions

14) Antakshari

Antakshari is a popular lyrical game played during Indian functions like marriages. It’s a great way to unite and create lasting memories.

Bonus Tips to Keep the Game Fun & Fiery!

Want your group games to stay exciting and not fade out in 5 minutes? Here are some pro tips to level up your game time!

1. How to Keep the Game Going If Someone Gets Distracted

Let’s be real — someone’s always busy replying to a work message or scrolling Instagram.

Here’s how to pull them back in:

Tag them with a fun reminder: “@Neha your turn, don’t ghost us like your ex!”
Use a timer: Give each player 30 seconds max — creates urgency!
Have a penalty system: Miss your turn? You owe a fun dare or must reveal a secret.
Keep it fast-paced: Avoid long explanations — quick rules = more action.

2. How to Make Group Games More Competitive

A little healthy competition never hurt anyone. In fact, it makes the game juicier!

Create teams: Friends vs Friends, Girls vs Boys, or make fun duos.
Track points: Use a shared note or scoreboard in the chat.
Winner gets bragging rights or a fun title: “Chat Champion”, “Sass King”, “Queen of Dares”.
Losers? Be ready for fun punishment!

3. Fun Punishments or Dares to Add Spice

No punishment = no thrill! Keep them cheeky, funny, and a little bold (if the group’s cool with it):

Voice note dare: Sing a cringe Bollywood song seriously.
DP dare: Change your DP to a childhood pic for 10 mins.
Instagram Story dare: Post “I love pineapple on pizza. Fight me.”
Text dare: Message your crush “Do you believe in soulmates?”
Couples version: Whisper your favourite fantasy (in emoji form only!)
Family-friendly version: Speak in rhymes only for the next 5 minutes!

Pro Tip: Always check your group’s comfort level. Dares should be fun, not awkward.
