Virtual Happy Hour:
How many of you thought just a year ago that you’d be enjoying a virtual happy hour with your co-workers and friends in the evening as opposed to the real deal? Video happy hours have become one of the most popular things around over the last 6 months, and there is a whole lot to love about them. It’s a chance to finally get together with the people you haven’t been seeing. Albeit, vicariously through a digital platform. It brings a lot of joy seeing coworkers shining faces outside of a work context and sharing several alcoholic beverages. Finally, a chance to drink a little too much and grouse about that one co-worker who never pulls their weight. Oh, and that coworker who insists on hitting on you every other day. You know the one I’m talking about! Video happy hour is made possible by a slew of different free video chat services. They’ve been popping up like weeds since many of us have been forced out of the office. It certainly is a great deal of fun to sit in your underwear and talk to friends and co-workers and slowly get drunk. Why not get drunk since you don’t have to drive afterward? Despite how much fun this can be, some people still find it somewhat lacking in context and entertainment value. At Dastardly Deeds Murder Mysteries, we’ve got some great ideas for pumping up your next virtual happy hour.

Virtual Happy Hour Games:
Why not bring your virtual happy hour game to the next level with Dastardly Deeds Murder Mysteries? Not only will this keep some of your video chatters with a short attention span excited about the event, but it’s also a great opportunity to encourage coworkers and friends to dress up in outrageous outfits. You’ll also get to hear them say hilarious things and threaten to kill one another – oh, I guess that’s just like any given Monday. Regardless, a Dastardly Deeds Game is the perfect way to make your next happy hour video chat shine. Just be careful though; it’s no great secret that Dastardly Deeds Murder Mysteries are intended for an adult audience. That means that some of the faint-hearted out there may find certain themes and contextual situations in our games to be grotesque or disturbing. I prefer it when it’s both. If you have a warped-minded crew as your workforce, you could very well become the star of your company’s next virtual happy hour. Just be aware of using company-controlled video chat services. Don’t come crying to me when your boss calls a meeting pertaining to the rampant affairs, murder plots, and money laundering you’ve all been talking about during your weekend murder mystery game. That just does not look good on a resume.
Share a drink with friends from around the world! Your next virtual happy hour can be your best with a Dastardly Deeds Game involved!
Video Happy Hour Themes:
Along with this newly invested interest in virtual happy hours, many people have also become excited to customize their video happy hour themes. Maybe every other Friday is a virtual luau? That sounds fun, but you can certainly amp that up even more by adding the construct of an online murder mystery game into the evening. You could have your co-workers and friends all dressed up as serial killers discussing how many people they’ve murdered in Serial Killer Social. Now if that doesn’t sound fun, I don’t know what does! Maybe you should test out their acting prowess and see if they can get cast in the next big Hollywood film in Celebrity Mixer Party. We’re here to allow for all these video happy hour themes to become a reality. Not only do you get a wonderful opportunity to embarrass your coworkers, but I promise it will be a good laugh for all those involved.
Happy Hour Video Calls:
When it comes time to make that next happy hour video call, take a moment to think outside of the box. It is very noteworthy that every online Dastardly Deeds Murder Mystery game requires video chat to pull off. As discussed in another article, “How to Play Online Murder Mystery Games,” I describe some of the video chat services that can be utilized to host our games. The truth of the matter is you can make any video service work to host a murder mystery. As long as your happy hour video calls allow you to have digital face-to-face communication, you’re all set for playing an online murder mystery game. The options are limitless! Keep an eye out for new ways to embarrass, humiliate, seduce, and murder your coworkers from Dastardly Deeds. Who knows, maybe if you all work hard together, you might be able to stop the aliens from invading Earth in A Game of Mutually Assured Destruction. Maybe you’ll even be able to cure the next great pandemic before it destroys the planet in Pandemic Murder Mystery. I know this sounds like a lot of responsibility, but I’m entrusting you and your coworkers/friends to get the job done. I mean, if you could make it through that 3-hour long accounting meeting last week, saving the planet is small potatoes. If any of this has piqued your interest, I think you may have found the best way to zhuzh up your next happy hour video call. Heck, you can even consider it a bonding experience or maybe even a team-building exercise. That is, if you don’t end up killing all your team members by the end of the game.
Schmoozing with the Tentasticles has never been more fun! Mingle with aliens online, no pants required!
